‘I was at a festival with my husband. A ‘fairy festival’ incidentally, *** in Oregon. We had just arrived and were out on a hillside surrounded by woods at a venue called *** Hideout, and there was a concert stage at the bottom with water behind it, and old growth forest all around us. The hillside was cleared for a venue and at the top was an area where booths, etc were. We were sitting under a tree off to the side of a hillside, about mid-day, maybe one or two pm in the afternoon. There was lots of music, and lots of people about, but very spread out across the hill here and there. Not crowded at all. It was a very magical atmosphere. It was sunny out and we were waiting for friends to meet up with them. All of a sudden, a bright, golden-yellow pixie-like creature about the size of a large dragonfly, zoomed up, from I’m not sure where, right into my face, and kissed me on the nose! And with a very tiny high-pitched voice, said, ‘Welcome!’ And flew off as quick as that! I got just enough glimpse of the golden body to tell that it was female. And that was it. My husband was standing next to me and saw it and heard it too. I considered it a blessing that I was at a ‘faerie’ festival and was kissed by a faerie!’ ‘Kind of like a pixie-like being, no more than the length of a finger, it was a golden yellow, and female body with wings. It flew very fast.’ ‘A tiny, feminine, high-pitched voice.’ ‘The place hosts an annual ‘faerie festival’ which was why we were there, we had been invited by a friend, who said the place had a very magical feel that had to be felt to be believed. Indeed, this was true.’ ‘I think [fairies] are guardians of nature.’ ‘It was a very magical experience. I appreciated it. I felt blessed to have had it. And it was nice to share it with someone else too who was there with me.’
