Faeries and humans together
Are the faeries here to help us? The opinion differs depending on the person.
“I don’t think [the fae] are here to help us, although they sometimes can be helpful to have around,” faerie artist Soso Erlenkamp said. “All in all they are not very philanthropic and why should they be? Humans have not been very kind to them for a long time.”
The fae tell Soso that the magic is disappearing from the world and they want us to recognize and understand this. It’s not only the magic that the fae themselves possess, Soso said, but also the magic
that keeps our world turning. Perhaps it is this reason, above all, that faeries have made their way back into our minds and our hearts, despite being buried in history and folklore for so many centuries – to help us grow with the one thing that is common to us all – Mamma Earth – in this prominent time of enlightenment and change.
Although some believe, and some faeries have intimated that they are not specifically here to help humanity, Mind Key member and artist Grace NgDung eloquently sums up my belief in why they have chosen to guide some or all of us.
“Faeries’ goal is to protect life forms already on earth, but also to protect nature. Kind of like stewards of nature. Thats why they help and guide us. [They are more apt] to help you when you live closer to nature,” Grace said. “Angels will come in no matter what state you’re in, but faeries want you to chose to be a part of it.”
It’s a nice distinction. Like us, their fellow earth-dwellers, faeries have the ability to choose their destiny – for better or worse. They may not always claim to make the right decisions, but they have maintained one trait that humans have all but lost – their ability to work with the world rather than try and bend it to their will.
Faeries also help us to become more conscious and more connected. They are intricately connected to the earth, which is likely why as we, who need the earth to survive as much as they do, become more and more disconnected from it, faerie energy seems to be fading.
For this reason, many faeries have chosen to help humanity rediscover that connection, become more spiritually conscious, and simply enjoy that which is around us.
“Usually, they have their own agenda, but in the past humans and faes have at times worked together and this is still an option,” Soso said. “Besides, who says they are wiser than us? I think our different types of energy serve different roles and we humans can learn from faerie, as they probably can make use of and learn from our energy as well.”
“I’ve heard them referred to as our cousins,” Grace said. “I like how that feels. We’re related, not from the same parents, but related on a spiritual level, they want to connect and share things with us.”
