§837

‘In the summer of 1972 camping in the woods with my girlfriend I went to fill up our water container at the spring we often camped by. These camp outs involved psychoactive substance use… This spring came out from the roots of a large tree and formed a small pool and creek. When I went down to the spring there were three translucent ‘spring nymphs’ sitting on or standing near the large roots, their legs tapering down into the spring between the roots. Their visibility was defined by their iridescent film/skin, similar to a soap bubble; the colors were emerald green and ultraviolet, like a black light. They had ‘elven’ faces, almond eyes, tapered ears and were perhaps four foot tall. They seemed to be made out of the water. They were not startled by me; but looking right at me. Without words they had me come over to them and lay down in the pool by their tapered legs. I was now lying in the water looking up at them. Just then my girlfriend showed up. What are you doing! the spring nymphs were instantly sucked into the spring like from a straw and there I was laying in the water. A couple years ago in two thousand nineteen I did a large oil painting of this incident. I also found out that this elemental was called a hydro-dryad specific to place where a spring emerges from between the roots of a tree. So, a cross between a naiad and a dryad. But they were made out of water.’ Fairies are ‘elementals/thought forms’.
