§802

‘I volunteered to invoke a member of the Fairy Court and facilitate one of several stations on a ‘Quest’ during a gathering of my tradition. The quest took place on a trail through the wood, high on a hill in New Hampshire. Prior to the quest I was given instructions by the entity I was to ‘step aside for’ (invoke) on how to prepare three sets of items/charms/talismans for ‘the challenge of the bowl, bag, or box’. Each of the people who came to our station was asked to choose between receiving an item from a bowl, bag, or box. Then they got to ask questions of the entity I had invoked. For close to five hours, we stood on the trail in the deep woods with ‘questers’ swatting at mosquitoes and biting flies. After the quest was over I had not a single insect bite. Nor did any of the other six people who facilitated the other stations and invoked other Fey entities. I am six feet tall and weigh over two-hundred pounds yet several questors with lights and candles either walked right by me or ran into me even though I stood directly in the center of the trail. Several different large beings/animals were heard roaming/charging and making noises around in the woods near us. When they got too close the entity working through me would turn and shout at them in a language I did not understand, and they would retreat to a respectful distance. After the quest was over and I had help coming back into my body it was near sunup before I had recovered enough of a sense of myself to settle in and get some sleep.’ ‘The folks who met him addressed what I took to be his face which was above where my face is when I stand upright.’ ‘Offering have been made to the fairy court every year on this land. This was the first year that a quest was held.’ ‘Keening, murmuring, sometimes shouts or roaring.’ ‘The Fey have an energy and vibration about them that is distinctive and unlike anything else I have experienced.’
