‘We were working on grounding and healing techniques for the earth because I felt that a part of my grandparents’ land had an air of sadness to it. After grounding and attempting what I was there to do once, I saw something move in the background, behind my friend, much too tall to be a human, and only moved between two trees before disappearing. I very strongly believe this to be a druid. As I’m turning around to move back down the path we came, I see something about half as tall as an average human duck behind a tree before also disappearing. I’m not quite sure what type of Faery this would be, other than a nature Fae of some type. This was only after trying to heal the land, and I asked my friend what I saw for confirmation, and she nodded, saying they were all very curious. Not of me, considering I’ve lived there most of my life, but of her.’ ‘One was much taller than the average human, possibly about twice the size, and lanky, with long strides, and the other was much shorter, maybe two and a half feet at best. I wasn’t able to see them clearly, unfortunately.’ ‘My grandparents’ land (ten acres of land with a hill, a creek, and two ponds).’ ‘I was under the assumption that [the land] had fairies. I’ve felt their presence around me my entire life, and it was always strongest here.’ ‘We were specifically talking about the Fae and hoping they’d help with the health of the land. Not to mention that the land I was on has had a Faery presence for a long time.’ ‘I don’t believe they’re bad, just different. My understanding of the Fae is that they’re as varied of beings as humans. We’re all the same, in a sense, but we all have different thoughts and feelings regarding certain things. Generally, though, I don’t think that they’re bad or evil. The ones that I’ve felt are almost always either friendly, indifferent, or mischievous.’ ‘After the experience, I had to ground myself again thanks to the excitement, and I lost track of any time, or any thought. I felt like I became part of the earth for a moment in time before my friend helped me come back to my senses.’
