Perhaps no one has ever told you how to reach the fairy kingdoms hidden around the world. Someone you’ve met has probably known, but they were wise enough to keep it to themselves. I really shouldn’t disclose that I am one of those people with such knowledge. Let’s just say, I’m not so much interested in being wise as I am in seeing what someone might do with this information.
So. Fairy realms. Here is how you might find them.
On a night with a full moon, you must find a natural stream far from any city. A brook or a creek will do. The important thing is that it must have a bridge arching over it. Once you find this bridge, stand upon its center and wait.
Should the stream fall utterly still and quiet while you stand there, you will know that a gateway has been opened and that the fairy court beyond it has welcomed you. You may now cross to the other side–to the fairy realm. Once you set foot there, you will hear the stream begin to flow again. When you look, you will see that it is moving–in the opposite direction. This is normal.
But keep in mind, volunteering yourself as a guest in any fairy realm is an open invitation to mischief, and mischief will find you, you can have no doubt. Keep in mind as well, if you do not leave the fairy realm on the same night, you will be trapped there until the next full moon. So be sure that mischief–or whatever else–does not keep you past dawn, or it will surely be too late to go back. And when the next night with the full moon finally returns, who knows what manner of being you’ll be by then?
Fairy enchantments change people, for better or for worse. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which. So be cautious when you step off that bridge. If you treasure who you are, then remember what that is. It is easy to forget on the other side.
For those of you too afraid to make the journey, I will take you there with an old story of one fairy court, whose Queen is no longer what she once was.
