We've all heard that faery folk are tricky and that they delight in teasing humans and amusing themselves by deceiving us. This is undoubtedly one of the perils of dealing with faery, but it is potentially one of the pearls as well. I know I have many times. However, there is something here that many people don't understand. Faeries are beings of subtle energy, and they sense through that energy rather than with through physical light and sound.
Humans live in illusion.
Because of our bodily senses, most of us believed for many centuries that there was a definitive difference in energy and matter and that they could not be interchanged. When a faery looks at you or me, it sees us as energy beings. It sees the whole of what we are because that is shown clearly in our energy fields. All of our feelings and thoughts are unmistakably clear on that level. Most faeries are convinced that we, too, could sense all of that if only we would look, if only we would pay attention.
