Faeries, Pixies, Sprites. Water Nymphs, Wood Nymphs. Water Undines, Salamanders, Dryads, Elves, Goblins. Sidhe. The High Courts of the Seelie and the Unseelie. All of these beings can be found in literature and movies. But can they be found in real life? Can you touch a tree and feel the spirit of the tree, the Dryad, within? If you watch waves break onto a sandy shore and wish with your whole heart, can you see the Mermaids and Undines play? I believe you can.
For many centuries there have been those among us who believe that they are other than they appear to be. They believe that with a wish and a blink of their inner eye the realm of the Faerie will appear, that the beauty of the Summerlands is within their grasp; within all our grasps.
I want to take that journey with you now.
Following are the lyrics to one of my all-time favorite songs. Inkubus Sukkubus is an awesome pagan band from the UK. You can hear the following song and download this and other Inkubus Sukkubus songs here.
Come and lay down in the meadow
Rest your head amongst the flowers
Come and sip the sacred poison
Fly away on the wings of madness
They were once known as angels from the sky and heaven
But now they are known as devils, demons, alien monsters
Chariot of psilocybe
Take me up to ride the lightning
Can you hear their feet a'dancin'
Can you hear their voices singing?
They were once known as angels from the sky and heaven
But now they are known as devils, demons, alien monsters
Let them fill your dreams with wonder, fever, pain and passion
Let them fill your head with thunder
On a toadstool painted scarlet
Sits a queen, a faery harlot
She will lead if you will follow
Down the road that leads to sorrow
From the Dreamworld she is calling
Come to me, come running, falling
Come and sip the sacred poison
Come and sip my sacred poison
They were once known as angels from the sky and heaven
But now they are known as devils, demons, alien monsters
Let them fill your dreams with wonder, fever, pain and passion
Let them fill your head with thunder
They were once known as angels from the sky and heaven
But now they are known as devils, demons, alien monsters
Let them fill your dreams with wonder, fever, pain and passion
Let them fill your head with thunder
They were once known as angels from the sky and heaven
But now they are known as devils, demons, alien monsters
Let them fill your dreams with wonder, fever, pain and passion
Let them fill your head with thunder
They were once known as angels from the sky and heaven
But now they are known as devils, demons, alien monsters
Let them fill your dreams with wonder, fever, pain and passion
Let them fill your head with thunder
