‘It’s hard to describe but in my bedroom I lit a gold Christmas candle for Yule – after I turned away for a split second and there in front of me was two glowing lights – not candle flare, or spark from the candle – one was emitting a gold glow and the other a silver glow, they spirited across the room and seemed to hover around my Yule altar and then disappeared. I have often believed but never seen either before or since. I think they were Yule fairies.’ ‘Small tiny dancing beams of light.’ ‘It was so small, so light, and the little buggers so quick I couldn’t touch them.’ ‘[Fairies are] energies emanating from earth.’ ‘They exist within the magnetic fields of the earth and only at certain times of the year are able to come into our reality – unsure what the solar magnetic fields where doing but could be related to planetary influence.’
