Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir's Fairish World


I have confessed that I believe in Fairies. As a matter of fact, I do believe in more: somewhere, perhaps next door, there is a different world, FairyLand, where fairies and other magical creatures live and prosper.
Once upon a time the boundaries between our world, The Gray World, and FairyLand were somewhat more porous.
Not anymore.
Yet, every now and then, some terse eyes can sometimes cross those boundaries and take a glimpse of that enchanted land.
Such are the eyes of Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir. I have nothing more to say, but this:

On Fairies


I have been missing in action for a tad too much, time to come back...
In this post I want to make a public announcement:

I do believe in fairies.

To be sure, I believe in much, much more: elves, ogres, sorcerers, witches, angels, demons, and whatnot. My universe (and I say it with pride) is vast and inclusive.

Am I insane? Gullible? Ignorant? I would think not. Quite simply, I believe that there are many pairs of glasses through which you can stare at reality. One of these glasses makes you see the same world you and I used to live in when we were children.

Why not putting them on once again, from time to time? Try, you will not regret it.


PS There is an excellent blog on fairies, definitely worth visiting: Fairish.

PS2 Once you dig up that fabulous pair of glasses from your dusty chest of children toys, you will start spotting fairies amidst humans (they are rare, to be sure, so please do not get irritated if it will take you some time). So far I have positively identified two fairies. When you spot them, they are unmistakable. Trust me.
