‘My daughter, who at the time was around seven (she is now nineteen) loved water. I had the sprinkler on out in the back yard, and she stripped herself off and danced and squealed with joy under the sprinkler. I was sitting watching her, utterly captivated in the moment of her joy, and all of a sudden, I saw all these wee folk, dancing under the sprinkler with her. There must have been close to a dozen! They were almost up to her knees, and as soon as my brain clicked in and I realised what I was seeing, they all just disappeared. I saw them all with my own eyes and no-one can take that away from me :).’ ‘They were petite, colourful.’ ‘Fairies are fairies.’ ‘[Fairies are] beautiful little wee folk, sometimes with attitude. They are the keepers of the earth and gardens.’ ‘I have no doubt that there are many dimensions and layers of consciousness – and in the physical, not many can access them all – though some of us can, those of us who have developed the ability to reach the other dimensions.’
