I cannot give a huge refference, im afraid, Everything I know ive collected on the way, picked up things from here and there, and suprising ammount while studying the pagan religion Wicca, the one refference i may be ablew to give is "the exyclopedia of mythology", though the infomation is quite limited.
Two years is a long time, so you must know quite a suprising ammount yourself. I;, always ready to learn more, as i look to be a mythologist, as a hobby if you will. So im all ears, Dawn.
I'm an 'arm chair' researcher...lol Most of what I know about the fae & wee folks, I've learned from web sites or books.
That's how I found Alisa, I was searching for real fae pictures.
I've never studied about pagan or wiccan or any of the earth based religions. I have problems with the idea of spells and rituals... It's a personal thing...
The fae legends are quite consistant and follow through across cultures and countries... Different names, but the same warnings, cautions and end results. It's quite repetitive and gets most dizzying trying to read past the new age mystical fluff that surrounds the true culture of the actual life of fae beings. At least in Grimms fairytales the legends are presented as an actual event with history and/or cautions firmly in place... It's so frustrating...~sigh~
The 'wee folks' are my main focus. I'm not having very much luck because of the co-mingling of fae and wee folks in common reference.
I'm trying to study the 'wee folks' as a culture of peoples.
There's a difference in the 'wee folks' legends across cultures and countries. There are many different names. I'm mostly interested in the American Legends. There's many personal encounters reported that differ from the legends and lore in other countries.
After all my research, what have I concluded? I know the fae and wee folks exist, we just have to sit back and wait for science to catch up to make it official... I'm counting on quantum physics to bring that on...
Thanks for your kind reply.
I'm going to check on that book. It sounds like something that I might be interested in.
Oh and Welcome to the forum. It's great to have you here.
