I am aware that there are many understandings of who the Faeries are. Over the past five years my awareness and understanding has certainly grown and expanded. Many continue to understand the faeries as small winged beings who bring magic into our lives - the Tinkerbell model of faerie. And yes, there are real Tinkerbells, and they belong to the Sylph family of faerie. And there are SO many other kinds of faerie also.

Here is my understanding as it is at present, while knowing that understanding is always growing and expanding. Being Irish I have heard the faeries called the Sidhe since I was a little girl. The Sidhe are mentioned in many myths and legends of Ireland. The Sidle do not tend to appear as little Tinkerbells. They are understood as very powerful beings, some giant in size. The Tuatha de Danann have been associated with the Sidhe and in the myths there are instances of the Tuatha intermingling with the Sidhe.

My perception is that the Sidhe is the Irish term for the Devic Realm. The Devic Realm are the architects of the natural order. They hold the blueprint for the creation of nature. There is an over-lighting Deva of trees, water, earth, stone, fire, flowers etc. and then an individual over-lighting Deva for individual flowers and trees and lakes and ponds etc. Working under the Devas are the nature spirits. They are the builders of nature. They carry out the plan of the Devas. Their "boss" is Pan - the Great God of Nature, a 6th Dimensional being, who in former times has been relegated to a low position by the "authorities" who wished to break the link between humans and the inherent powers of nature. These powers are the powers that we ourselves carry in our own natural bodies. Within the family of nature spirits are the Sylphs, the little winged one, the Salamanders, the beings of fire, the Undines, of water, and the Gnomes of the earth. These nature spirits also work with our own natural bodies, and each of us has one from each kingdom of the elements overseeing that element within our bodies, with a whole host of busy nature spirits working under that direction.

The Tuatha de Danann in myth are known as the God Race, as beings of incredible magic and power. They actually originated before the Atlantean age in an age known as the Hyperborean age. This was an age when the Light Inscriptions of creation were still pure. It was also the age when the "fall" began. The Hyperborean hailed from Sirius and thus the Tuatha carry Sirian blood.
After the final Atlantean deluge they migrated to Alba-On (England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales), and to Greece, Israel and Egypt. They carried the magic with them as they were/are advanced beings of light who carry the Metatronic Light in their beings. The Metatronic Light is the unfallen light of the universe.

During time the Tuatha and beings from the High Devic/Sidhe Realm intermingled and so the magical blood of the Tuatha was mixed with the Faerie blood of the Sidhe. We are told in the Irish myths that when the Milesians invaded Ireland the Tuatha retreated into the Earth and became the Faerie Folk or Sidhe. My understanding of this is that the Tuatha retreated into the inner earth, where the higher realm of existence still exists much closer to its original purity than it does on the surface Earth that we know and dwell upon. When they retreated they actually went through a merging with the Sidhe, or Devic Realm. Since the Tuatha were carries of the Angelic Codes of Light, and the Sidhe carry the Light Codes of Nature this was a powerful merging.

Along the way, humans intermingled both with the Tuatha and the Sidhe and so to this day there are those who carry the actual blood of these two races.

Because of the abuse of nature the magical realm has retreated. However, we are now in a window of time when these beings are beginning to return, and are making themselves known to us through our dreams and intuitions. Many people are becoming interested in the Faerie Realm and in all things Celtic. This is the ancient call of the blood being heard in the present day.

We are here to co-create with the Greater Order of Creation. The Devas and Nature Spirits carry within their beings the Phi Harmonic of Divine Creation. The creations of man tend not to be along the Golden Spiral. When we begin to understand ourselves as co-creators, we can then work consciously with nature to restore paradise on Earth.

As the four elements extend through the higher or invisible dimensions we encounter faeries who over-light and represent different human emotions and mental states of being. The section of faerie that has volunteered to work with humanity at a close level of involvement has, through that work, become involved with human karma. That is one reason why some people encounter unhappy and even angry 'faeries' in the unseen realms. Part of the path of returning to Unity is recalling ALL aspects of life back into the full LIGHT of the Metatronic Order.
