66. Ireland's OWN Myths & Magic Norse mythology says faeries emerged from maggots from the giant Ymire and Ghillie Dhu — Ghillie Dhu are scottish solitary faeries that live in trees http://irelandsown.net/faeries3.html

The Nature of Faeries* —by Míchealín Ní Dhochartaigh "Faerie is a world of dark enchantments, of captivating beauty, or enormous ugliness, of callous superficiality, of humour, mischief, joy and inspiration, of terror, laughter, love and tragedy. It is far richer than fiction would lead us to believe, and beyond that, it is a world to enter with extreme caution, for of all things that faeries resent the most it is curious humans blundering about their private domains like so many ill-mannered tourists. So go softly — where the rewards are enchanting, the dangers are real." —Betty Ballantine Faerie Origins Norse mythology says faeries emerged from maggots from the giant Ymire and transformed themselves in Light Elves and Dark Elves. The Icelandic version is biblical in nature. This mythology states that Eve was washing her children by the river when God spoke to her. In her awe and fear, she hid the children she had not yet washed. But when God asked if all her children were there, she said they were. He then declared that those she had hidden, would forever be hidden from man. The hidden children became known as elves, faeries or "Huldre Folk." Elsewhere faeries are fallen angels. In Devon, for example, pixies are the souls of unbaptised children.

PREVIOUS PAGE CONTENTS PAGE NEXT PAGE sounding board The New Mythology When the Báb is first recognised in the Dawnbreakers He is described sitting among the assembled disciples of Siyyid Kázim, distinguished only by 'the ray of light that had fallen upon' His lap. It is a short phrase in the text, but like a myth, is of monumental significance. Again, when the Báb made His famous Declaration to Mulla Husayn, in 1844, it is recorded that a beverage was given, and there is great significance in the water used for cleansing: "He ordered a ewer of water to be brought, and bade me wash from my hands and feet the stains of travel. I pleaded permission to retire from His presence to perform my ablutions in an adjoining room. He refused to grant my request, and proceeded to pour the water over my hands. He then gave me to drink of a refreshing beverage..." There are other examples of the imagery of the 'beverage' and in the Tablet revealed by Bahá'u'lláh at the time of His own declaration, He says: "The Best-Beloved is come. In His right hand is the sealed Wine of His Name. Happy is the man who turneth unto Him and drinks his fill... The waters of everlasting life have, in their fulness, been proffered unto men. Every single cup hath been borne round by the hand of the Well-Beloved. Draw near and tarry not..." It is as though the story of Siyyid Kázim and the silver cup is an archetypal image which is echoed on down through time, and one wonders at the significance for our Feast, where we are told that the host must serve refreshments, even though it be only a glass of water.

PERCY: Reliques of Ancient Poetry. SCARCELY less famous than Robin Hood as a subject for ballad makers was the battle of Chevy Chase. This battle was one of the many struggles rising out of the never-ending border quarrels between Scotland and England, of which poets are never tired of singing. Sometimes the Earl of Douglas, the great Scotch border-lord, would make an incursion into Northumberland, and then to revenge the insult Lord Percy would come riding over the Tweed into Scotland. In the battle of Chevy Chase it would seem as if Earl Percy was the aggressor. As a matter of fact it mattered little which began the quarrel at any particular time. The feud was ever smouldering, and

This gesture echoed a common view that the play was yet another part of the conspiracy to denigrate the Scots by misrepresentation, presenting a travesty of Scotland's heroic past and suggesting that only English-supported invasion could bring right rule to wild and primitive people. This almost comic confusion between history and literature, past ideologies and present politics, is in part a tribute to the enduring power of the play, insisting on the ideological power of Shakespeare's Macbeth while denying its historical truth.
