This week’s message is a little more out there than usual! It’s about gnomes and the fairy folk, and whether or not they are “real.”
I have never seen a gnome, elf, or fairy in person, but I would love to. I got the idea for this topic because I did a session with someone who had seen gnomes as a child.
Fun fact: I LOVE gnomes, I have the classic gnome book by Rien Poortvliet, I used to make gnome t-shirts and onesies for babies, and my son was an adorable gnome baby for his second Halloween, chubby cheeks, pointy red hat, and all.
When I exclaimed in delight over her gnome sighting, the readee corrected me, and said they were mean and scary! She remembered that they didn’t like her, and she ran away. I tuned in psychically, and what I saw was that the gnomes themselves were terrified. Here was this human coming into their territory — so they made themselves look angry in order to scare her off. They didn’t know if she was going to come back with an adult or an evil kid who would throw rocks at them, stab them, or capture them and keep them in captivity. So they disappeared after that, and she never saw them there again.
I hoped that seeing this would help her trust that it wasn’t personal, and that gnomes are not, traditionally speaking, mean creatures.
I loved the whole exchange, because I strongly feel that the more we keep an open mind, the better. Everything has a spirit, and everything is energy. There are spirits in the trees and spirits in the water. Why wouldn’t there also be elementals and nature spirits, fairies and elves as well?
And of course they would live far out in nature, away from us, because we are a destructive warlike race. And it would be second nature for a human to see a fairy, tell a friend, capture it, and dissect it, just to prove it’s real. We like to capture things and put them in cages for our amusement.
The magical creatures are smart enough to avoid us, and we, in turn, pretend they do not exist.
The further we go back in our lineage, the more likely we are to hear stories of our ancestors seeing them. I love fairytales and myths and fables, because in all of these ancient traditions, there are vivid stories about the little people and the fairy folk. Why did these tales originate? They came from somewhere! And they are so prevalent!
Have you seen magical creatures in this lifetime? Or do you have stories about your ancestors seeing them? If so, please share in the comments below if you are watching on YouTube!
Thanks so much for reading and watching!
