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.

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.

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
