where did the faeries go?

Answer 1

The best explanation I ever heard is that Fairies can't stand electricity and have to go where there is none. Some islands off the coast of Ireland must be totally overcrowded with them. Not many other refuges left....

Answer 2

The original faeries were the Tuatha de Dannan, 'the people of Dana', and they were basically gods. You should look up their legends. When the current people of Ireland arrived, the Tuatha eventually left the surface world and went into the earth beneath Ireland. Their legend changed over-time to include nature spirits. The Christian monks who wrote down the legends made them shorter. The Victorian Era writers made them into tiny people who rode on flies, in order to make stories that might entertain children. Some modern folklorists speculate that the ufo alien abduction experiences are so similar to abduction by faeries that they might be the same phenomena. This could mean that ufos are mystical beings from another dimension or that aliens from outer space originated some fairy stories. It's interesting to note that just a short distance away, in Brittany (Northern France) they have some of the same stories but they don't talk about faeries, the characters are ghosts.

Answer 3

The faeries are not gone, but they are not easily seen by the mature human eye. They come out once in a while around everyone, but mainly stay beyond the veil of human consciousness. Humanity has lost much of its ability to play in fairy land with the imagination being lost to TV and fear from all of the violence in the world.

Allow your imagination to take flight and the faeries will lead you on a fanciful trail of fun and play. Be aware - they are mischievous little devils at times - so if you lose things a lot the faeries are playing with you!

Answer 4

Some say the faeries are still here they just live in human looking bodies and are called Otherkin.

I find the stories about the Fae amusing and annoying. On one hand you have a magical race of beings that can do damn near anything but on the other simple little things non magical humans can do can defeat them. Like faeries are supposed to be afraid of iron. *piffle*

Answer 5

Into hiding. Only those who believe can ever catch a glimpse of them. Before the Christians destroyed and vilified the Ancients and eventually killed off believers.
There are many Celtic traditions evident , not just of fairy queens ruling magic lands, but of actual sisterhoods of healers and miracle workers recorded in literature.
Their history was never written down, it was passed on orally, so gradually much of it slipped away or was considered blasphemy or witchcraft, punishable by death. Their stone faiery rings still stand and the waters still flow.

Artifacts of the Druid times go back 6,000 years. Stonehenge is a monument and sacred place. Faeries live!

Answer 6

They didn't go anywhere. They're still around. I've had many encounters with the fae

One time, on a camping trip, it was an especially magickal night. At some point, everyone in the camp noticed that something was missing, including a necklace from around one woman's neck. The area where we were camping was separate from any other areas and so no one came into the area. Suspecting activity of the Fae, everyone put out offerings, except for the woman who lost her necklace. She cursed the fairies. The next morning, everything was returned except the necklace. To this day, the necklace has never been found.

On another camping trip, I put my tent right in the middle of a natural faery ring. When I camp, I always have a flashlight with me at all times. The only place I could have lost it was in my tent, so I searched my tent, and the flashlight was not in there. Then I had two friends search the tent, and they couldn't find the flashlight. I put out offerings to the fae, and the next morning, the flashlight was back in my tent.

Another camp-out, We had a tarp structure in the most wind protected part of a wind protected valley. I've put up a lot of tarp structures, and it was put up very well. I've put up hundreds of tents and tarp structures, and I know what I'm doing. In and around the tarp structure where etched glass tealight holders on stands averaging about 4 feet high (it was beautiful). That night, the structure blew over (in a wind protected area) but when it fell, somehow it completely missed all of the etched glass. About mid way through the day, with no one anywhere near the structure, about half of it spontaneously stood back up.

There have also been times in the woods when I have heard music at times when there could be no music around, either in extremely remote places, and/or the middle of the night when it couldn't be simply disregarded as a radio echoing through the odd acoustics of nature.

A friend recently posted in her blog that she had lost a piece off her necklace, and it was no where to be found. One day her husband found it, right where he had been standing barefoot moments earlier, in plain sight, and in a spot where she had vacuumed earlier. There it was, in a place in plain sight where it hadn't been earlier

Answer 7

It was commonly believed they are living in the sidhe of Ireland but as much as humans have changed the landscape of the world most likely they have relocated back at Tír na nÓg with the rest of the Tuatha Dé Danann.

I believe they still move among us but they hide themselves well or else they would be discovered and probably mistreated by humans. Hopefully one day we will be a peaceful enough race for them and the rest of the enchanted creatures to return.

Answer 8

the faeries have become invisible because everyone stopped believing in them.

but I believe in them and I also believe in Unicorns and magik.

Answer 9

San Francisco and they live in tastefully decorated apartments there.

Answer 10

Somewhere,
Over the rainbow
Way up high...
