§761

‘I was about ten at the time. We had just moved into the house on the property a month or two prior to the sighting. It was a slightly overcast winter day, and I was sledding outside with my mother on a hill behind our house. There was a line of four willow trees on the lawn beside the house. The closest tree to the house was the biggest and oldest (forty plus years old according to our neighbors). It was light out at the time. My mother had just gone inside to get something when I felt compelled to go over to the tree. A woman’s face appeared in the tree which seemed to speak telepathically. She told me not to be afraid. She welcomed me to the land and told me that she would be my friend. I never saw the being physically again, but always felt comforted beneath the willow tree. I believe that I met a dryad spirit who watched over the children and animals on the property.’ ‘I think fairies are both spirits of particular places, elemental, and inter dimensional beings that share a lot of commonalities with us but have their own motives and are able to move between dimensions easier.’ Fairies ‘because they are connected to a place in nature’.
