Hi Steph! Welcome to Fairie Talker.. we will be adding much more.. i have lots of stuff I found on the internet the other day of fairie encounters and photos.
I never believed in fairies , either, until this May. I have friends from another internet forum who have seen them since childhood, so I knew they weren't putting me on.. they are too down-to-earth to make up something like that, and they only told me about it through email .(not out in the open)
So because I figured they had to be telling the truth, I asked God to show me a fairy .. only I asked it to be on HIS timing and not mine.
Wouldnt you know it but weeks later, .. .the day after Memorial Day, I saw one looking at me through a section of my hair! I was looking at her face to face, and I was in shock, because here I am.. a 45 year young woman who is face to face with a fairy, and I can't tell anyone in my family or they'd think I was a nut!! She had a nobility about her.. and she did feel a bit embarrassed that I was staring at her.
I posted of my encounter here.. (I think.. if noone can find it, I'll repost it) under the "Personal Encounters" section.
Since then, other things happened, and I and other friends of mine have seen flying colored lights, .. which are one form the fae will appear as.. like an orb or light. Many of those orb photos are actually pictures of fairies .. especially if they are photographed outside. In my encounter, my fairy reallly looked similar to Brian Froud's pixie paintings.. onlly she looked much softer, and her face was definitely female, as well as shy. She was very pretty! Her eyes were all brown.. no irises., all soft brown and tilted upwards and wideset. and she had very delicate pretty features and high cheekbones. Her eyebrows were set high.. and were very pretty!
I hadnt expected that fairies looked like that. I was used to seeing only pictures of TinkerBell human like barbie doll fairies.
You may never see one physically, but there are other ways to sense them around.. and you may feel a sense of being watched, and a feeling of some kind of energy on the top of your head or shoulder. Even if you can't see them, they are around and about thier business--usually ignoring humans as they know we can't see them. If you talk with them out loud,
it does get thier attention. Leaving out desserts for them, or crackers , bread, honey, wine, also gets thier attention as well.
I've received gifts back after leaving them semi-precious stones! If you make your own fairie garden.. just for them, and not pull out any of the plants that grow there on thier own (dandilions, etc) , they appeciate that also because these days most wildland is gulped up by humans and the Native plants they used to help grow are being destroyed.
There are lots of topics about these things here, so have fun reading about these Beings that live so close to humans, who are God's guardian angels for the animals and plant kingdom, and yet go unnoticed so much.
Hugs
