‘In the late 90s I moved to a house out in the country. It was a historical home used in the Underground Railroad complete with secret passage ways. It already had a bit of paranormal activity but the Fairies made their presence known and clear. It began late winter to early spring. What they call, a Fairy Circle appeared in the front acreage of the house. It consisted of mushrooms that made a ring about nine Feet in diameter. As the seasons changed so did the ring. It took turns with various flowers and colors but the ring remained very apparent. I started to do some research on the matter (thanks to AOL dial up at the time!) I discovered by the nature of the ring I had been chosen by these higher beings to walk the path they made for me. After much research, I began to leave offerings for them in exchange for their gifts. They gave me many blessings. I soon became pregnant with my son and neglected my hobby with the fae. That apparently wasn’t to their liking so they began to take things. Mostly shiny objects like keys, thimbles, Christmas tinsel. I did more research and learned the fae behave similar to modern gangs. Once you join there is no leaving or taking a break. I was able to compromise and would spend the Sabbaths within the circle which I now understand to be a door to their dimension. Once the initiation was complete they proved their loyalty by leaving me gifts from throughout time such as a Chinese currency from the futile [feudal?] era, a rusted baby’s bell from the early 1800s and gaudy costume jewelry from only they know where! I have moved several times since then. They do still find me and I continue to cater to them by gardening with fae friendly plants and leaving super shiny or sparkly offerings. My spirituality has grown abundantly but I will never forget how it all began with them.’ ‘Bright flashes of light and streaks (when moving) mainly for me they show up as white, indigo and blue but that can have a lot to do with my psychic perception of them.’ ‘High pitched humming (frequencies) that harmonize.’ ‘The Fairy Circle is the calling card but their materialism gave them away!!’
