Other than Tinkerbell at Disney Land, I've never encountered one.  What does your book say about it?  Are they different than your standard winged angel?  I'd be curious to know how many can dance on the head of a pin..... that's been bugging me.  It is a bit silly, but in an endearing way.

in the bible the Nephilim were the said to be Half 'Angel' Half Human, and ruled over the Earth for thousands of years (they had unnatural long life). I'd like to hear Don comment on this, being he knows alot more i'm sure. I find it to be very interesting, there are also alot of people who think they could be the offspring from ET's who manipulated our DNA.

Anyway, i've never heard of entities that are between angel and human, i know they are popular in Mythology, so there could be something to it. But i don't think there is much proof one way or the other for their exsistance.

Hi juditha.

I was reading a book by psychic Sylvia Browne called "A Guide to the Paranormal" or something like that. It has hundreds of definitions on spiritual events that today people call paranormal. Astral projection and the spirit world/Other Side are one of the definitions.

Fairies is one of the spiritual definitons. Fairies in the book are called Devas and are said to appear like white smoke or whispy clouds in mainly gardens. Want to know something fascinating? There are many pictures of white smoke and whispy clouds in garden areas (and other places, too). I don't know if these pictures are faked or not (I don't think so), but here's some ectoplasm:

You be the judge.

Hi juditha,
I know many people on Iceland do believe in ore even claim to see fairies.
Also, I read in a book about the community of Findhorn there were people who told that they can see them.
Rosalind A. McKnight wrote in her first book (her HemiSync-sessions with Robert A. Monroe) about a mind-trip to a nature-site where she saw many of these beings.
There are some beautiful pictures (more the romantic-traditional ones) at:

(You have to wait a while for the complete download of the site, probably you have to push the "refresh" button when the download stops)

I personally don't know if I should take it for real, symbolic or fantasy.

Spooky

Geez oh pete, can't spell   to = too, worry = were

Graham Hancock in his book 'Supernatural' investigates Faeries.  They do exist as part of realms that are not human. Not to sound scary but they do not seem to be very nice creatures.  There are reports of kidnaps, spells and general mischief making that belong to this world.  They do not seem to be human friendly.  The phenomena of Faeries is the Faerie Circle where it has been reported by eyewitnesses that Faeiries dance in a circle then disappear.  Hancock has described this as an portal into a different dimension or rather their dimension appearing in our dimension. It has been said if a human stumbles upon them during this dance they can turn quite nasty. Also there is a possibilty of disappearing with them through this portal.  He has in this book correlated the resemblances of Alien abductions and Faerie literature .. its seems that the Aliens are modern day Faeries.  One should read this book its quite an eye-opener.  There is mention of good Faeries although this seems an exception to the rule.  Also one musn't confuse Nature Spirits with Faeries.
Faeries are best left alone i say.

I saw two Gnomes once in 1990; but i say they are different from Faeries as they are nature and animal helpers and are human friendly. 

Interesting subject - caution again though what do other people think?

lol Spitfire!!

i get the same reaction when i tell people about the gnomes i saw --- a looney is she they say!!
