The thread was created on the 22nd of April 2021 and the last post was the 24th of December 2023. Thirty-eight pages in total over nearly two years.
I began the thread as somewhere to write my field notes, and also to speak up about many misconceptions and outright lies that have been used to demonise the fae, and in particular the 'fairies'.
Now rather than copy and paste verbatim from ATS to here, I think we can discuss the thread, and it's subject here.
Any questions and clarifications, I think it appropriate to discuss and answer here.
------------------
Edit to add:
Firstly, a content warning. Some people will find some of the content confronting. The ATS thread goes into some rather organic aspects of encounters and biological engineering. There is also what is referred to as "abduction", and similar subjects.
The reader should keep in mind that the material is very down to earth. At least, I tried to keep it that way. For example, the mystic has a language all of his own to describe what he experiences. The difficulty and my criticism of the mystic way is that one has to study for years to learn what the heck the mystic is talking about. So I do my best to translate encounters and principals into everyday language.
After all, the world of unseen Beings is so close we could reach out and touch it.

After it got into some 'lighter' topics I found it rather captivating so far. I'm struck by how it's so similar to other myths and legends I've run across through my years of reading, just told from a different perspective.
I'm most familiar with Native American beliefs and those of the Alaskan indigenous peoples, along with a lot of reading about Suth Amerrican tribal beliefs.The Medicine man and Shamans really cptivate me, but Greek and Europian beliefs have always been like hearing a foriegn language.
I've tried my best to understand Greek mythology, but just can't seemto grasp the concept-no matter how hard I try. I think maybe because there are too many players with too many different identies.

Well, its content is told as I see it through my own eyes because I thought it important not to translate into established western philosophical ideologies such as any of the religions.
There are references to Greek myths, and the Egyptian. That is simply because the Beings concerned presented themselves in that geographical context.
For example; Mr and Mrs Hades kindly allowed me to use the Fields Of Flowers (Elysium Fields) as somewhere safe to keep deceased children until I worked out what to do with them. The Egyptian references to the gods and in particular the Anubis (pleural) is because that was how it was done in ol' Egypt. That was back in the day when the Sahara was green with plants. The work of an Anubis was to send the dead, and many living people did the task. If one works hard enough, one receives an Anubis head. That was how the Egyptian deceased were able to recognise who to turn to for assistance after death. Keep in mind here that it is the ordinary living people who fullfilled the roles of the gods after training.
All the Egyptian gods are like that. Not just a god, there were many Anubis, many Sekmets, many Isis and so on.
To become the god,
Do the work of a god.
That is how it worked. The gods were not the far away, aloof ideas of modern religions. In the ol' days, it was all very intimate with waking life and the civilisation concerned.
Have fun : )
ETA: One probably shouldn't call the Egyptian gods "gods" -- they walked with humans.
I'm more familiar with the way the ancient peoples from Norethern America believed and worshiped. It just seems to me that honoring the four elements, a creator and ancestral spirits resonates better.
The indigenous people of N.A. had their star people and sky gods, as opposed to fairies, so maybe that's our fairies?
As an aside, I don't recall a time I ever believed in coincidences. My 18 y/o grandaughter recently moved in with us and two days after I started reading your thread on ATS I noticed a post on her social media:
I took note because she had no idea I was reading about fairies, and I had no idea that was an interest of hers! We had a pretty good discussion, which crossed over into many other territories.
Somehow, I think everything ties together. It's all one story, told a thousands different ways.

I think there is a lot of room for heaps of different ways to look at things. On page nineteen there was a picture of cyclone Olwyn (hurricane to the northerners). That Being equates with the Kachinas of New Mexico USA direction. The native folk here in Australia have their people who come from the stars. I've not seen the fairies here in Western Australia as native unseen folk. Though I have seen little fellas that may equate with the brownies of Briton and Ireland.

I always pay attention to what she says!
When she was not quite 2 I picked her up from daycare to spend the weeked with us. I had not told her my beloved cat had crossed the rainbow bridge, thinking she may not even notice he was gone.
I buried him beside the walkway leading to the front door and placed a faerie/angel statue on the spot.
As we walked by she stopped, looked at the spot and said "Oh; kitty sleeping!".
That evening she looked down the hallway and excitedly exclaimed "There kitty!".
My hubby doesn't put much stock into the 'unseen' forces in this world, but after Schplatt's passing I told him I kept getting glimpses of him in the long hallway-his favorite place to hang out. Hubby said "I wasn't going to mention it, but several times now I could have sworn I saw him there, too".
Maybe the ability, the 'openess' to see more than meets the eye (pun intended) is a generational thing.

Nothing much changes in the afterlife, everyone generally keeps doing what they did while alive.

That sounds like a parallel universe. ?
I've always had an affinity for rocks and may or may not believe they are sentient. I may or may not believe they 'speak' to me from the many decorative piles surrounding professional buildings around town, asking for me to take them home.
Hubby just shackes his head and mutters "I can't take you anywhere....".
I have a three foot section along each side of the 20' walkway to our front door, and each side is lined with hand picked stones that have 'followed' me home throughout the years. My 1,000 gallon pond is also lined with individual hand picked rocks.
