Nice - see them!

I am seeing more of your day time photos now and less night shots. Is this because you are aware of what you are looking at or do you find they are much easier to spot in daylight - or a combination of both maybe?

I so enjoy your questions and insights.

I can actually see more in the day shots (and I still thank you for your guidance in this area) . I loved the giant wolf face on the roof, the wolfmen, my first fairies, and Mulligan's spirit images that I captured at night, but night shots are restricted to the limited illumination available.

When I first took some day shots, I didn't see anything in them. It took several viewings and learning to let go of more ideas of boundaries and then they just popped right into view. Like all things, practice makes perfect (so I will continue to practice) . Also worth noting, usually I don't see the images on the first viewing. I feel like I have to get acquainted with the photo then look at it again later when I can release the physical concepts (let go of the trees and see the forest sort of thing). And then when I am in-the-zone and seeing another dimension, sometimes it becomes so strong that I see layers and layers and I feel frustrated because I want to separate everything and show someone all that there is to see, but it is so complicated that I can't.

I'm still not entirely sure of all that is what in my photographs. I feel a majority of it is expression of the earth's spirit/nature. But some images seem to be a message, some seem to show multiple dimensions, and some seem to be human ghosts.

What are your thoughts on what is being captured?

Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb here and put my amateur opinion in on the part about 'not seeing them on the first viewing'

I think you may have a valid point about getting acquainted with the photo first, because mentally you need to recognize and remember the contents of where and what is in the photo, so you're able to discern what normally shouldn't be in the photo.
Right?

Here's my amateur opinion...
Maybe it takes a bit of time for some of the mystical beings to develop on a picture? Like a slow imprinting of sorts...
I know, it's far fetched... but, it could be...

About the beings in your images... maybe it's everything you mentioned. Maybe all or some or one of the beings are there.
It's kind of like taking a picture of a park filled with peoples and puppy dogs, squirrels and kids, rabbits and ants and birds and well, you're bound to catch one or more of them in a shot or two.

I cannot define the anomalies that I see in any pictures as spirit or flesh or etheric(?) and that is why I use common references... but it doesn't mean that they are not there. I hope you and Chriss are not offended when I use basic reference to the images and anomalies, I mean no dis-respect to you.

Your Gnome's a fun looking little fellow and I'm glad he stopped and posed for you to take his picture. The two or more wee ones off to the side are interesting, you can just almost make them out. Goodness, they do have great camouflage.

Yes (IMO)! This reminds me of an attitude I have encountered that orbs in photos aren't spirit or special because they are so prevalent. But it would be like taking an underwater photo and being surprised to see a fish or plankton. And then consider multiple dimensions layered and you realize that with intent to capture spirit, it is quite easy. The thing that I find key, is the belief or intention of the photographer. When you are reaching out for it, it reaches back. And if you don't want to see it, it will also generally oblige.

But I also like your angle that the beings may "develop". Because there are times when I don't want to look at my photos if I am not in a reasonably receptive mood because I don't want to "set" them like this. Such great food for thought (thanks, Dawn).

With regards to your title of this post Alisa, I really don't think it makes any difference. I personally do not tend to call them any of the well known terms, simply because, I don't always know what I am looking at, so I call them all nature spirits or people. Usually from the place I find them in, hence - tree people, flower people, soil people etc.

The Djinn Concept

If real unseen beings exist on Earth, it seems likely that inhabitants of other planets may be as hidden to our 5 senses as way we think they do.
Consciousness is not limited to the human brain, but pervades all manifestations of life. So much life is crammed into a single cubic inch of backyard soil that it is unlikely that the potential inherent in a whole planet is just wasted. Life is an ever deepening mystery! Most of us aren’t comfortable with making that a part of our working hypothesis, but our explorations will be enriched and strengthened if we do.
A growing majority of the world's energy consumers now live in cities, exploiting "advanced" technology. Nature... is not something to be enjoyed at the weekend, or toyed with for sport or otherwise. Conservation of natural spaces is not just a luxury. These are dangerous illusions that ignore the vast benefits of nature to the lives of 6 billion people on the planet. We may have distanced ourselves from nature, but we rely completely on the services it delivers

Fur Goblin...

Welcome Twas Brillig! Your photo galleries are amazing! I love that fur goblin! The way you bring out the images is expert (something for me to aspire to).

Great insights you've shared here as well!

A bit of Dodge and Burn with Photoshop =).

I don't really like enhancing the images like that because I don't want to manipulate the pixels non-uniformly from that what already exists. Thus destroying it's authenticity. I couldn't resist this time.

I think the techniques you and Chris use for clarification are really good, and work just fine, esp. to show what you are seeing without changing the original too much.

Thanks for that, TB. I have to say though, that I do really like your enhancement. And when shown next to the original, I think it is the best way to enable others to see what is there. And your enhancement of the Fur Goblin makes this one of my all-time favourite spirit photos.

It reminds me little beings in one of Chris's garden photos.

Awesome pictures, the Fur Goblin is superb!.

I have some of these Gnomes in my Garden too, these were hiding behind my garden door!

Enhanced

This is my favorite part of Alisa's board...
the 'fae' & the 'little people'

It's remarkable the characters that show up in pictures.
I really find it fascinating!

Great captures.
Cool!

Thanks for sharing those photos, starchie!

And thanks for loving this part of the board, Dawn! Do you you still have your story of the little green being with the drawing (that I so loved) posted somewhere?

I am currently reading (slowly to savour it) the most wonderful book called "Summer with the Leprechauns" by Tanis Helliwell. The summary inside the cover says:



From what I have read so far at almost 1/2 way through, it completely jibes with all that I have found to be true through my intense study of spirit over the last three years and adds much more, filling in many gaps for me and raising my level of understanding. Double thumbs up on this book.

I'm at a stand still with my web site building right now. Can you believe it, my new webhost has decided to do an upgrade or something and so I'm waiting to make sure that my site doesn't get lost in the transition before I build the rest of my website. I still got a ton of pages to build & upload as soon as I know they won't disappear... my mainsite is up and running and completely backed-up on my hard drive and burned into a cd...

<--- I knd of like this smilee it's cute

"Summer with the Leprechauns" is on my 'to get' list. I think it would be a fascinating read. I'm glad you're giving it a thumbs-up, because I always feel better when someone I know tells me that a book is good before I buy it.

Good luck with your new webhost!

Yes, I vouch strongly for, Summer with the Leprechauns! And I'll let you know about another Fairy book I purchased at the same time and haven't yet started.

I see a lot of Leprechauns, I really need to get that book too, thanks for the recommendation.

Here are a few of my Fae and Leprauchaun (potential) pictures, dedicated to Dawn!!

My favorite Leprechaun i've caught is this one, it was in a lovely and ancient wood, comprised of semi natural oak and ash and managed as coppices for many centuries. A great place for Leprechaun hunting. I think he's carrying a goat kid or animal.


The original is this one below

Aw thank ya Starchie. That was really nice of you. I agree with you on your favorite leprechaun picture. He's really cool looking. I like your other pictures too, it's always amazing to me how subtle the difference of color can be between nature folks colors and their surroundings. It's no wonder they'd be over looked by an undiscerning eye.

You have a lot of interesting captures. Thanks for posting them for us to enjoy and ponder on the possibilities.

Beautiful post, Dawn. You are an excellent writer/expressionist.

And starchie, what amazing captures! The synchronicities and patterns of all that is happening in my life and all that I see in your photos are just popping out at me all over! I feel as if I could be overwhelmed it is so strong.

This afternoon I kept seeing a face in the pool webcam shadows (which I will post) and in the final phase of it as the sun was setting, it had a hat on it's head and was a leprechaun. No matter how the shadows changed throughout the last hour, that face was there. So cool and strange.

And of course I am reading my leprechaun book right now whose bits I am savouring and which just keeps precisely fitting into my spiritual puzzle making hundreds of connections in my soul like a blanket of tiny neural fireworks in a brain. It is really too hard to describe accurately, but I did read one more chapter this afternoon and I jumped up running in to tell my fairly uninterested husband, tears streaming down my face, a passionate lump clogging my throat that the most meaningful connections are being made for me right now and I can barely stand the bliss/pain. Pretty powerful, eh?

I could really just pour my heart right out at this moment, but I am definitely getting away from the topic of starchie's photos.

I love your favourite leprechaun capture, starchie. On the original I see him facing in several different directions at once, which to me is a kind of hallmark of interdimensional beings. I see many things wrapped up in this photo and focused where the leprechaun is. Truly magical.

I also love the top-hatted figures in the trees. One of them is particularly 3-D to my eye. All of them are amazing and a treat.

Here's two similar looking Elves hiding in a bush, these interest me a lot, they seem to have markings around one eye and similar insignia on their hats. I don't know if they are wearing masks but I can't see the bottoms of their faces, breathing aids? When I see these I wonder about the little green men myth!!

My favorite one of all so far has to be this one. Its one where if you believe you will see in absolute clarity a translucent leprechaun/faerie sitting on a rock. If not you won't see anything and I'm astounded by how many people cannot see anything.

Nice highlighting of the two elves above. Love your technique, starchie.

I can see two layered leprechauns on the rock. But I must say that if I let my vision ripen, have a few looks back later, often a main image will pop out at me and I'll think !

Hi this is an enhancement of my last post, entity on a rock.

Beaut! Thanks for these further enhancements. The legs are great (I didn't see that bit as clearly, so thanks).

I saw this very similarly! And look at all the flowers!! I have highlighted with red the pedals of some obvious flowers I see.





This cannot be coincidental if you look at my Green Man captures...



He holds a flower up to his left eye here
as well as in a couple other of my captures.
And a flower is almost always adorning the middle of his hat.



These below are from my Green Man forum topic:








I see these flowers frequently in my photos and I always know it is conveying to me the symbol for Green Man. He also does butterflies, but flowers and hats are his main symbols in my experience.

How can this not NOW be objective as you and I are capturing the same entity?

I agree with Alisa, this is a beaut!
Very interesting character you have there.
Thanks for sharing him!
Cool!

Alisa, I like the flowers, you have a good eye for seeing those.
Thanks for pointing them out.
Very Nice!

Hmmm, very interesting that we are being visited by the same entity, he seems "calmly powerful" and of a higher status than most entities, Deva's or elementals I encounter. Alisa you identify him as the Shaman Master, or Huna Mulligan, can you elaborate on this, have you tried communicating? I seem to associate him with shaman/chieftain, and also Mul (mantra), I've got other pictures I'll dig out of him, but they are on my other PC.

Oh here's a really nice Gnome I saw in my garden, he might be hard for others to see but to me he has a hand to his mouth as if biting a fingernail! Can you see?



This is one of the recent images I have that has properly confirmed the existence of elementals to me, I no longer have any doubt. Also I discovered by accident that I can (kind of) create elementals, to do things, I'm still experimenting with this!!!!

Lack of sleep or the early hour of the morning, I am seeing spirit everywhere when I gaze outside. And when I saw your post, your gnome photo looked packed full of spirit. I outlined a few of the many of the wall-to-wall layers of beings I see.



Littlies in upper left and a tophatted guy peeking from chair leg.


I also see your gnome with hand to mouth.

I'm interested to hear more about your creation of elementals, to put it mildly! I know this to be true as I was shown during one of my lessons with a guide that elementals are created by higher beings (which can be our higher self from another perspective).

As for Huna Mulligan, he was the first entity I met through my photography. I cannot easily separate him though from Green Man and the leprechaun, etc., because they all sport flowers and sometimes the symbol of the butterfly. I don't know if they are all separate or as one. I continue to patiently await the unfolding of greater understanding about this.

But when I first started seeing Mulligan in my photos, I opened my mind (as an experiment) to communicate with him, never having done such a thing before. I was creating a webpage of his photos when I felt my hairs stand on end and I heard tapping and knocking on the walls. I was overcome with emotion, sentimentality, longing and love. I knew it was him and I sent out loving thoughts to him. At the time I interpreted it as Mulligan being the ghost of an early colonialist/convict of Australia whose spirit was stuck here. I tried several searches to see if there were any records of a Huna Mulligan, but found none, though I found out that the convicts of this area were largely Irish. So I stuck with that idea for quite a while.

I also tried researching the type of hat he was wearing, which seemed a non-rigid tophat rolled up at the edges. And I found it totally coincided with the hats worn at the time (200 years ago). So that kept me further attached to the idea he was a ghost.

The silly thing was, I told him he could "move on into the light" having read of such ideas regarding stuck human spirits. And I didn't see his image as clearly in my photos after that, but he wasn't gone. I may have disconnected and affected my belief system and hence the strength of his appearance.

But he did show up here and there anyway. And then I began seeing him in my mind's eye at some stage. And then the hat was constantly being thrust at me clairvoyantly. I noticed he had some object or symbol centered on the hat and something in his left hand. I finally realized it was a flower on both accounts. I asked in my mind why he had a flower and I heard, "ameliorate" which I had to look up (as often happens with spirit communication). I finally decided it meant to decorate or as a sign of beauty. It may mean more than that, most likely it does. And I also see the flower symbol all over in photos and in my mind's eye.

I totally agree with you that he is higher up than devas. I have an inkling he might be Osiris of Egyptian "mythology" and one of the oldest gods on record (according to Wiki). Another thought of mine is that he represents the "father" portion of the earth spirit. And because we are also emanations of the earth and its spirit, he is a part of us and we him. I get so many messages that I am related to him.

Deepest thanks for all you have shared starchie. I am absolutely convinced of what I have learned thus far about Huna Mulligan and the nature of reality. I know I have much more to learn, but my belief is strong in the portions I've acquired. Still, it is extra comforting to find that you are experiencing some very similar phenomena and I look forward to any more light you can shed on this subject.
