again asatru1 i am left scratching my head at your ramblings. arij asked about genies, mermaids and faeries, you started talking about how gamblers are seen as financial vampires. what are you talking about? there are many historic and scientific explanations for many mythological creatures, and i've never heard of your rationale. [also, could you please refrain from double posting? it's not hard to post everything you just said in one response. the website does not have a post counter.]
Why do people here think that fairies exist? What proof is there haha? I think it's rediculous. "Vampires and werewolves don't exist, but fairies do!"
I will never understand.
Rosa, many people have had encounters with the fae, they are also separate from vampires, werewolves, mermaids, etc.
These three are commonly considered to be humans who have gone through some kind of transformation, especially vampires and werewolves, people believe them to be existing "among us" in this plane. In reality they can be bottled down to bad medical knowledge and delusion.
However the fae are worked with by thousands, if not more practitioners and normal people with no knowledge of the practice. They are not humans who claim to be mythical creatures, they exist on a separate plane, much like the astral.
In general terms the fae are considered to be like spirits, they come and go, often remaining hidden and unseen but are believed by many millions of people, with huge amounts of folklaw dating back much further than any other "magickal" being.
Don't you think that calling an entire belief, ridiculous to be a little harsh, I am sure you wouldn't appreciate that from others and it is something that the magickal community hears far too often from people outside of it.
Of course they do exist!!! Not in physical plane anymore, but on spiritual.
Ahh Genies, when I hear this word I travel back in time..... Genies do exist, they are extremely real as the other you have mentioned. They're not like TV though; they can grant you as many wishes as your heart desires and not only three, but it's not that simple. For instance, in TV Alladin could wish for anything and his Genie would give it for free in no time. It doesn't work like that, wishes from Genies take time to be fullfilled-the time depends on the wish actually. And there's always a price in wishes.
Furthermore, another major difference is that you can be the "master" of the Genie. Genies cannot be bound into objects, you cannot be their master. They have free will and if you try to do something like that..it won't be preety... Eventually, when making wishes you should be extremely clear. Some Genies aren't friendly, and they may twist your words, for fun. There are others who are friendly torwards humans, however no matter of that you should always be extremely clear.
Mermaids exist as well. There are many subspieces of them, just like Genies and Fairies. They're not like TV either. A good portion of them are male, and many of them aren't friendly to humans... If you go near their waters and you find the "appropriate" hostile type, they will grab the chance...
Faeries yeah, but as you see in reality they are different. They are said to be mischievious creatures and protectors of nature. It is said they also tend to be playful, aplear and dissapear objects and that sort of thing.
To sum up, you understand that this is real life and no TV. Each of these creatures can harm you if you're not carefull, but also isn't it amazing that they do exist???... If you want any further help to that subject or any other feel free to mail me, I would be glad to help. And do not forget, in every single fairy tale there is a dose of truth.
I forgot to add that in Genies's wishes, there is a limit. Each Genie has specific abilities. Lastly when I said "go near their waters" or something similar, I hope you understood I meant through the spirit plane in dimenssions.
