r/faeries

Are there any good movies or TV shows that portray fae as like tricksters in the woods tricking you into making a deal, or kidnapping kids and taking them to the otherworld. Not just like oh a guy gets power and we never see the fae again. I want a story of like trickery and despair.

I don't know much about the fae/fey but they are nice or evil? I have wondered about that.

Are they not similar to Tinker Bell? How tall are they? How can you tell if they are male or female? I am a Christian but curious about them. Will they kill or hurt me? How do I approach them? What about getting kidnapped? What is polite?? What is rude?

How the heck would someone know they are part or fully fair folk without idk spending life savings on someone who can help find it, knows who did it, or like idk if my grandma was like "oh yeah BTW I sold your body to the fair neighbors, you're actually not a person sorry"

It would be kinda funny if it showed up as a fungus on a dna screening as idk why my brain thinks many fae are fungus that took humanish shape

I'm probably not a fair one, but how would I know?

Hell dna is confusing anyway as we are related to evrything, is it basically like "most of your germs are from xyz and your dna agrees so you're xyz"?? Do all people from certain areas have a similar gene?

Of course I know many of the supposed changelings where disabled people and where unfairly called fae but idk, I'm sure there's some out there, or was at some point. Science is so intresting as it's like spirituality with receipts

Send me a message please if you are considered an expert or ish

Thought I would share a life changing experience I had many years ago which I now understand to be a visit from the Fae.

I was walking along on the beach on one of the Great Lakes (smoking a little weed but I’m a heavy user so what happened next was still highly unusual) when I grew suddenly very tired. I lay down on a sandbank and began to feel like I was hallucinating. I thought at first the trees were talking to me as they whispered and giggled. Whenever I’ve talked to the Fae since, Tree spirits are always involved. I could tell some spirit was there so I told them what was on my mind- my sexuality. I’m a queer kinky person and I was young and feeling guilty trying to figure myself out. When I explained this they laughed and laughed at me. Not in a mean way but in sort of “oh honey” kind of way. They told me that sexuality was meant for pleasure and if I was distressed about it- I was doing it all wrong. “Humans make even the most pleasurable things distressing” they snickered. At this point I felt kind of paralyzed like I couldn’t move. It was a little bit like sleep paralysis. I felt totally awake but couldn’t move. I began to feel pleasure rise inside me and I spontaneously orgasmed without touching myself. “Wasn’t that fun?” They asked. I “came awake” and felt astounded. How did that happen? I thought, that was weird maybe that was a dream?? NO they said, they were still there. And once again I became drowsy and overcome and I was brought to orgasm again without touching myself. They wanted to show me that pleasure was inherent to our bodies and I didn’t need to involve my mind so much. At that point I knew something unusual was happening. I thanked them (didn’t know any better) and the whole experience was truly healing and something I’ll never forget. I came to understand that sexuality is fundamentally a blessing- it’s only humans that turn it into something dark, guilty and tortured.

Anyway it was 15 years later before I understood what happened. I’ve had other experiences but that was one I’ll never forget!! Thought I would share for anyone who might benefit from their wisdom :)

Hi, so I'm researching for a project about fairies and I'm trying to get an idea of what the fairyland is like for humans to enter?
From my research, I have not found too much on the subject, but some old ballads such as Thomas the Rhymer and Childe Rowland suggest that fairyland is a dangerous place with constantly changing terrain, fae trying to trick you at every chance.

Any help on getting a grasp of what fairyland is like would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is this possible?

Hello! I know this might be stupid but I'm genuinely curious. I used to make fairy houses as a kid when I thought they were Tinkerbell like. I used to be obsessed with befriending them and I used to watch and make multiple houses when I lived in one of my childhood houses. Does anyone who actually works with or is familiar with fae know if they actually visited or anything. I'm just curious since I was very adamant on seeing or befriending them as a kid. I even left tiny cups of water for them and I think food as well but I mostly remember the water

Typically, fae are beings from the western side of Europe. Germany, Scotland, etc. But what about other places? For example, the sphinx of Greece. Riddles seem to fit right into the vibes of the fae
