‘I was trying to contact the Vila, just in passing, sitting outside in the shade in the garden. Flash of light, in the mind, and I saw far away, a figure sitting on a stone wall. I inquired about the pronunciation of the word ‘Vila’, and its origins, and I got a rather quick response back. Heavy E, is all I really got on that one… interesting encounter, one of thousands.’ ‘Hard to describe, looked like a sentient plant, sort of like the green man, leaves merging into flesh. Ancient part of nature.’ ‘I think the word fairy is very broad… can refer to old gods, goddesses… [or?] demons. Angels…. Can refer to the realm above humans and below angels as well, those might be more commonly referred to as fairy.’ ‘I love all things, curious about the tricksters.’ ‘I hear bells a lot.’
