§684

‘One evening, I had just come home from work at around 9:45 PM. My mother was in the kitchen, and she had served me a glass of red wine. I sat down on the couch and sipped my wine until it was about half empty. My mother was still in the kitchen, but I had gotten up to go use the restroom. If I remember correctly, I did take my wine with me. As I stepped into my bathroom and turned on the light, all space around me had expanded. My vision felt softer, and sound had receded into a vacuum. As this shift of energy was happening, the light and colors in one part of my bathroom had manipulated into a form and then into a full-on figure. This figure was that of a small humanoid. I could tell right away it was not human. It looked like a small gnome of sorts, only without the hat and beard. This creature was about three feet in height. It was wearing shorts, pointy shoes, and a collared shirt/vest with earthy colors. There was a small patch of blonde hair on its head, and it had ‘abnormally’ big droopy eyes with a long pointy nose and a big smiling mouth with spaced teeth. The arms and legs on this creature were long and lanky; however, its belly was big and plump. As I stood there staring at it in shock, I was too surprised to make a sound. The creature smiled big at me, but once it saw my flabbergasted face, it began to frown a big frown. It even looked like it was about to cry. I reached my hand [out] to tell it not [to] cry, but once I did, it had disappeared altogether. The portal like energy had left me and I came back to my reality. I must attest that my wine had not been laced with any drug or hallucinogen. My mother would never do that to me. Moreover, I had not even gotten through my entire glass of wine when I had this life-changing experience. After the encounter with the humanoid creature, I began to research history and lore of fae beings. I eventually came to the conclusion that the little creature I saw in my bathroom could have been an earth elemental, brownie, or a type of house gnome. A part of me is reluctant to see these beings again, especially when the sun goes down. However, another part of me yearns to see another fae creature again. To be able to step into their world, even for a moment, is a magickal privilege that should not be taken for granted.’ ‘Three feet in height with lanky limbs, a big belly, abnormally big droopy eyes with a long pointy nose, big mouth, a small patch of blonde hair, and wrinkly.’ ‘It was physical, vivid, detailed, and had resembled stories I had heard of fae and gnomes.’ Fairies are ‘beings that live in a parallel or overlapping world from ours. They have abilities that exceed those of humans.’ ‘I have had other faery encounters when there was no alcohol or substances involved.’
