Treasures of Tuatha De Danann


Gifts  to the people from the Tuatha De Danann

The Elemental gifts comprise of four directional energies and four ‘Faery Instruments.
The Four Treasures of the Tuatha De Danann, give you the ability to anchor these energies in the landscape as Matrices of light.


The Stone;
 is used to channel more directional energies. When working stone circles is to access memories and knowledge that are in the stone. Such stones can be used for fertility points to hold the energies in the earth so that the energy flows in the right direction.

The Sword;
 is used as an acupuncture needle and can be used with earth, air, fire, and water, depending on what work is required at a site and on which level it is required. It is used as a symbolic opening, or closing, of earth vortices. It can anchor solar light, open points beneath water, anchor solar energies in water or the land, etc. (Think of Arthur when he loosed the sword from the stone!) To my mind, he was showing that he was a proficient energy worker, and able to do this work of opening sacred places. It wasn’t a physical sword but an energetic one!


The Spear;
 is used as a channel for more directed energies. When a stone, which is supposed to act as a feeder stone, channelling solar energies into a stone circle, has been disrupted, the use of the spear can make the circle whole again by  binding together the stones as if all were still there and functioning as a whole.

The Cup, or Cauldron;
is the ‘holder’ of vital feminine energies in the landscape. It is the wisdom and knowledge of the Divine Feminine and the nurturing energies of water for healing and life.









The four treasures, which are ‘gifted’ to people are the Harp, the Pipe, the Drum and the Horn. Once you have received one of these gifts, in energetic form, you are then gifted with the ability to use their energies when doing earthwork. When you have received one of these gifts, you will find yourself using them without any conscious intention of doing so. When a site needs these energies you will see them happen, all by themselves. They  
bring Nature back to a harmonious relationship with human beings.







Harp;
 It gives you the ability to change the vibration of atmospheres in nature.

The Pipe  ( Three holed flute)
is used to change the colour frequencies in certain locations
Putting a place of calm, healing nature where once was greed, power and destruction.

Horn;
Receiving the Horn is like getting the Elementals  phone number.


The Drum;
 is more earth - centered. It brings the deeper tones of the earth into balance
They remind you of your connection to the balancing forces of nature beneath your feet.





(Had to use a picture of the horn from Narnia)

Forests: Fables, Folk Stories and Fairytales

                               Forests; Fables, Folk Stories, and Fairytales








Most of our woodland here is of the evergreen variety; Fir, Cedar,  and Spruce. Real fairytale forests, where the light is dim and the ground is soft and velvety with mosses and deep, deep layers of dropped needles. There’s a kind of silence that’s very particular to a Coniferous forest. The low boughs and thick carpeting deadening any outside noise. All you’ll hear is the odd crack of a breaking branch or the call of a bird. There’s an atmosphere very specific to this type of woodland. For those who spent time alone in  a forest such as these they have seen what I've seen. Thus these truths were  created into story's. Stories  that are centered in forests are those where adventures unfold amongst the trees: 

The Wind in the Willows springs to mind. Who could resist the beautifully  - illustrated storybooks of childhood ; Jill Barklem’s -  Brambly Hedge books, Winnie the Pooh,  or The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,lets not forget Beatrice Potter.

My favorite forest in a story, Mid Summer Nights Dream, By William Shakespeare

A Midsummer Night's Dream

1935 ‧ Romance/Comedy ‧ 2h 25m   
watch it if you get a chance its magical.

Narnia
Something cold and soft was falling on her. A moment later (Lucy) found she was standing in the middle of a wood at night time with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air.
C.S. Lewis (1950)

The Enchanted Wood
Loomed up big and dark. The trees spoke to  one another softly. Wisha, wisha, wisha," they said.
Enid Blyton "The Magical Faraway Tree (1943)

The Forbidden Forest  
They walked for nearly and hour, deeper and deeper into the forest, until the path almost  impossible to follow because the trees were so thick.
JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (1997)

The forests of Middle Earth
There was a silence, for suddenly the dark and unknown forest, so near at hand, made its self felt as a great brooding presence full of secret purpose.
JRR Tolkien, The Two Towers (1954)

Red Riding Hoods, wolf infested forest
She ran off the path into the woods looking for flowers. each time she picked one 
she thought she saw a more beautiful one a little ways away off and ran after it, going farther and farther into woods.
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm (1812)

The Forest of Wonderland
"Curious and Curiouser"
Lewis Carroll,  Alice in Wonderland (1865)

We were told it's all just Fairy stories! NOPE !

 The middle English  word Fairy, origin from the Old French word Faerie,. It's defined  as an enchantment, or Illusion. Faery’s have been  spoken and written of since ancient times all around the world  including Egypt.


In the lore of fairies, and also in fairy stories, these spectral creatures were often viewed as  “of a nature between spirits and men…” (MacCulloch, 1912). In general fairies had either a human-like appearance or were spirit/ghost-like creatures.  In some shape or form fairies  are a world-wide phenomenon.  Wherever fairies occur, they have some similar characteristics in common. In many respects fairy beings resemble human beings. The ‘faeries’ have been called the ‘wee folk’, the ‘good folk’, the ‘fair folk’. Fairies can be solitary, as portrayed in  fairy stories these spectral creatures were often viewed as possessed .



Fairies, Forests, and Mushrooms.


All occupations found in primitive communities were followed by fairies that included hunting, dancing, herding and farming, as well as being skilled smiths, shoemakers, weavers and spinners. (Briggs, 1957)

Thus comes the stories of magical forests,  fairy rings, and fairy mounds.  It makes sense that these people who spent their lives living with nature, and tradesmen who created useful things would have told of their own experiences among each other. As the  stories spread across the countryside their experiences  take on new twists as they pass word of mouth from person to persons. 


For my Purpose here I will use the English (Briggs 1957) model of classes of Fairies


The English Fairies classes;


Trooping Fairy - Heroic, or Homely

Solitary Fairy-small Fairy families

Tutelary Fairy- guardian,protector,patron

Nature Fairy -personify's a particular form. or force of nature

Supernatural Fairy - Hags - Monsters

So off I went to Prove it.. I will share what I have and stories that I have . I'm not a professional by modern day terms but I am well assimilated with the wild, and how it all works.
