She is goddess of prosperity, protector of women, animals and the environment, the essence of growth and source of the flower’s scent and grace.</p>
<p>It is said she would appear sometimes running magically as a red mare through the meadows at sunset. And she has appeared to many as “the lady of the lake.”</p>
<p>Many believe Aine assumed forms in Nature and took a number of mortal lovers, creating a magical race on Earth.</p>
<p>Needless to say, Aine is a Goddess whose intense beauty, femininity and sexuality was a threat to those who wished to wipe out the Celtic way of life.</p>
<p>In the time of cultural suppression Aine was transformed into “The Faery Queen” or “Queen of the Faeries.”</p>
<p>We know her most famously as Titiana in Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare.</p>
<p>She is celebrated on the Summer Solstice when torch lit processions may be held in her honor. She is praised in midsummer festivals in song and dance.</p>
<p>Our Blessing and Calling To the Goddess Aine</p>
<p>Touch the crown of my children’s head</p>
<p>So they will grow strong</p>
<p>Let your magic dust cover my lips</p>
<p>To attract my lover’s kiss</p>
<p>Stay the hand of he who would fell a tree</p>
<p>Let him discover instead, a way</p>
<p>He can work within</p>
<p>Your Faire garden</p>
<p>Steady the hand of one who plants seed</p>
<p>In his home, in the fields</p>
<p>Let the sound of your ecstasy fill the void</p>
<p>To the corners of the Earth</p>
<p>Let the pink rose blossom,</p>
<p>The fruit ripen on the tree</p>
<p>Ready for me to taste you</p>
<p>Feed the water of my soul’s delight</p>
<p>Join you in every budding flower</p>
<p>Awakening to the light</p>
<p>Touch me with the wisdom</p>
<p>Of each morning’s dew</p>
<p>Lift my face to the sun</p>
<p>Falling softly on my sweet skin</p>
<p>Opening for more</p>
<p>Blessings from Elven World</p>

<p>The queen of fairies :- la reine des fées<br/> The queens of fairies always inspired the artists as well in painting, in musuque, in poem or in literature, as certify it of masterpiece such as the delighted flute of Mozart or the Lord of the rings of J.R.R. Tolkien. These queens of fairies or elves can be compared with the mythical Celtic kings, among whom energy and knowledge stay in sleep, atendant of ëtre exploited by the future generations. Similarities between these kings - among which the most famous are the king Arthur and the queens of fairies the following are:<br/> .Ils are directementconnectés in the earth and in its divine sovereignty.<br/> .Ils are directementconnectés in the earth and in its divine sovereignty.<br/> .Ils work in comparison with an ancestrle energy and refer to it.<br/> .Ce are the ancient security guards of a wisdom and a knowledge.<br/> Traditionally, there was no difference between a divine connection with the earth or with ancêtres:les families stayed during generations on the same lands, to the point where every region ended up developing a link with a given family. When they went for a walk in forest near them, the inhabitants of a land could smell energies of their forefathers, who gave them to know them so that of an energy protection against malfailants minds.<br/> In due time, the queens of fairies were progressively transformed into godhead and, as the Celtic kings, they wait that we invoked them to give again life in their powerful female force and allow them to fill the world of their magic in a new and amazing manner.</p>

<p>the abatwa are easily offended and quickly enraged. their most common response is to murder by poison arrow. but if it happens that one meets and abatwa while journeying through the hills and mountainous regions of africa, the typical concounter would go like this" the abatwa will ask. "from where did you see me?" this sis a trick question to whick the honest reply " i am seeing you here right now for the very first time" will be fatal. the abatwa are wildly sensitive about their size. the lifesaving answer is" "see that mountain way back there? i fist saw you when i was on that mountan" the abatwa is usualy placated by th e stature this suggest and such flattery earns a chance for escape.</p>
<p>far more dangerous than encountering an abatwa is stepping on one. when stepped on , the abatwa will stab the hiker with thepoint of an invisible arrow, which causes an immediate and baffling death that will confound the coroner. when in abatwa country, visitors must wearshoes with hard, thick, impenetrable soles<br/> <a href="http://api.ning.com/files/HpqWUvxzIUQm0yfkWJOBjDVNS1SaSfYeo*wJKUjB8lfc9Hp86Ph61KEqIdAd1XTY*0n1JnVbE4VXNRg4rOs1h5taMBLhaYFi/abatwa_tmb.jpg" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com/files/HpqWUvxzIUQm0yfkWJOBjDVNS1SaSfYeo*wJKUjB8lfc9Hp86Ph61KEqIdAd1XTY*0n1JnVbE4VXNRg4rOs1h5taMBLhaYFi/abatwa_tmb.jpg" class="align-center" width="119"/></a></p>

After the Tuatha Dé Danann were defeated by the Milesians (Gaels), those members who decided to stay in Ireland formed the Daoine Sidhe. They live in hollow mounds, hence the name Sidhe which literally means "people of the (fairy) mounds". They are fond of battles, hurling (a kind of field hockey) and are skilled chess players. Many a mortal challenged Finvarra to a game and lost all his possessions, for the king has never been beaten.</p>
<p>These fairies are small and this is responsible for the name of Daoine Beaga, "little folk". They may ride out to hunt, or stir up an eddy of dust, or engage in battles, or steal children, or prevent butter from forming in the churn.</p>

<p>In Irish folklore, they are small, graceful creatures. The Dana O'Shee live in a realm of eternal beauty and remain eternally young as nobles from the age of chivalry with their own king and queen and royal household. They wear beautiful clothes enriched with precious jewels. They love music, dancing and hunting and can often be seen riding in a procession, led by the king and queen. But even these lovely creatures can be treacherous, and some people say they come from the realm of the dead. A person enchanted by their beauty or music is forever lost.Disir These are spirits who attach themselves to a particular place, usually man made, like houses. Especially old houses. They are generally feminine ancestral spirits.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Short, but powerfully built, Dwarfs are generally bearded and aged in appearance, although this is because they reach maturity when only three years old and are grey-bearded by the age of seven. Their homes are the mountains of Scandinavia and Germany where they mine for precious metals to work into arms and armour and other artifacts which are often endowed with magic properties. it was the Dwarfs sho fashioned Miolnir (the hammer of Thor), the spear Gungnir, the necklace Brisinga-men of Freya and innumerable other marvels, including a new head of hair for Thor's wife Sif and a rope strong enough to bind the giant wolf Fenris yet as slender as a thread. Dwarfs cannot appear above the ground during the day. One ray of sunlight would turn them to stone. According to some accounts they spend the daylight hours as toads.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Dwarfs are type of elf or goblin found inthe mythology and folklore of most of the world's societies. In general their description is of a humanoid shape but very small, looking old and wizened, with odd-shaped legs and feet. They usually inhabit caverns and underground palaces or dark forests, and are often associated with watercourses. Their most outstanding accomplishment in most folklore is their magical gift of transforming metals into beautiful and dangerous artifacts that frequently carry some curse. They can shape shift at will, and usually have either a magic cap, cloak, belt, or ring that renders them invisible. They are the guardians of underground treasures such as jewels or precious metals, which they may reveal to the fortunate, or use as a lure for their victims. Although usually immortal, they may be tricked and immobilized, or even turned to stone, when the light of the morning sun falls on them.</p>
