§313

‘I got into my automobile to go to work. The time was 7:55 AM. I put the key into the ignition and before I turned the switch, I detected a movement in the wooded area right next to my driveway. I was compelled to get out of the car and walk over to the side of the drive, and as I stood at the edge of the wooded area, I saw a figure emerge from behind a very thin tree. The figure was a woman, wearing a brown and tan colored long dress. She was dark haired, it was long and pulled back from her face. She was wearing some sort of headband that came around her forehead. After stepping out from behind the tree she seemed to look around the woods, as if she had just arrived and was getting oriented. After what seemed like a few moments she turned and looked at me. She was not ‘spooky’ or ‘translucent-looking’ she looked solid, and as real as anyone. The fact that she had come from behind the tiny tree was odd, but I was not fearful. She stared at me for a brief time, then looked around again. After a few minutes she stepped backward, back behind the very small tree. When she did that, I seemed to realize that I was just standing on the edge of the driveway. When I got back into my car, I noticed the time, it was 8:20. What seemed to me like only a few minutes had actually been twenty-five minutes. I have had several such experiences in my lifetime, though this was the first that I ever had with a creature such as this one. I am not sure if she was Faerie or a Dryad.’ ‘A female with long hair in a long dress.’ ‘At the time this happened I had built a small Earth Altar and it was placed near where this occurred. Perhaps that enticed the Faerie (or Dryad if that is the case) to appear.’
