Types Of Fairies
Fairies are essentially beings made of energy, and that the material they are built of is feelings, vital matter, emotions, streaks of energy which are modulated under their emotions, their movements, and their desires.
The matter they are made of is pure emotions, not veins, muscles or nerves, and when they feel an emotion, their body directly responds and transforms itself according to the emotion.
She says they have a heart which is a glowing, pulsating center that emanates golden light, and that the secret of fairy life is rhythm.
While we have sensations, fairies are sensation, all sensation, and they don’t perceive like we do through special organs, but with their whole highly electric organisms.
Another highly interesting point is the way fairies establish relationships with other fairies, with plants and animals, and with humans.
There is a special way they do this – by adapting their vibration to the vibration of the being they want to relate to.
When he wants to respond to a plant, he makes his heart beat at the same pulse rate as the plant.
This synchrony makes him unified.
Between the human point of view and that of a fairy, or any member of the angelic kingdom, one of the main differences is that we live in a world of form, and they live in a world of life.
Our thoughts are primarily concerned with the form things have, and we seldom go further than that. But fairies are mainly concerned with the energy and life flowing around and within the form – life that is everywhere.
For example, if we look at a tree we respond to its size, its shape, its color, its leaves, and fruit.
These things combine to create its beauty for us.
But when one comes to think of it, this is rather a limited way of seeing the world in which we live.
In contrast, the fairy first beholds the spirit of the tree and responds to its vital energy.
To a fairy, the tree is a living, breathing personality which is expressing itself in the form we see. There is then an exchange of feeling, a mutual response, between the fairy and the tree.
Dora’s classification of fairies is highly insightful as she aligns them with the angelic realm; as a sub-realm actually.
Her observations are in alignment with theosophical teaching and in this respect she wrote the definitive book.
Dora says fairies are under the direct order and observation of angels, and the way she describes these angels is very intriguing and scientific.
Over all, an angel is brooding – over the fairies, the trees, the hills, and streams which are part of his life and are his trust.
He is a powerful personality, and the valley is just as much part of his body as the trunk of a tree is the body of a tree spirit, except that in this case, the angel has intelligence and emotions as powerful as our own, and he is as much a being as we are, if not more so.
When he takes form he looks like a beautiful human being, a clean-shaven youth with fine dark hair and a powerful aquiline face, his body enveloped in a lovely apple green.
His presence permeates the life of the forest and valley.
