Water Faires around the World

Water Faires around the World

Water Fairy

 I have done many different fairies as of date. And there's still many fairies, that I have yet to find to write about for yu! This includes the beautiful Water Fairies. These fairies are usually depicted as beautiful
blue, white or transparent fairies with long flowing hair reminiscent of seaweed. However whilst all fairies
 then to be mischievous and the water fairies can be sometimes positively cruel. They have been known
to lure ships into dangerous seas and innocent men to a watery grave.
In the Greek lore, the fairies there is what they would call the Greek Siren. In the ancient times of the seas
were extremely dangerous and the life of a sailor or fisherman was a very lonely and hazardous one.
Water fairies are also often vain and enjoyed looking at their reflection in the water.
In some traditions they like to leave the water to visit local humans, sometimes to join in a party, at others
to ensnare a new victim. It is said that they can be recognised by their clothing which will always
remain damp.
Then there are the sea and river fairies of the Celtic.
Celtic Myth and folklore especially that of Ireland and sometime Scotland is very rich with supernatural
creatures and Fairies and Elves. Many of these are from ancient ancestry of long ago. Some say the the
Celtic Faeries were some of the first fairies and are still lives in some parts of Ireland and Scotland. These fairies are known as the Sidhe. 

Water Fairy

The Sidhe- The name Sidhe pronounced 'shee' refers to not one type of fairy, but to many different varieties of fairies. They are quite unlike our modern concept of a fairy. Although they vary considerably in appearance, the Sidhe are in general more like Tolkien elves than the Tinkerbell. It is said that the Sidhe are

Water Fairy

descended form the ancient race of Tuatha De Danann. These were the peoples of the Goddesses Danu who inhabited Ireland before the coming of man - the Gaels  sons of Mil, also known as the Milesians. They brought to Ireland four great treasures. These four great treasures were; 1.) The Dagda's Cauldron. 2.) The Spear of Lugh 3.) The Stone of Fal 4.) The Sword of Nuada. It was said in the legend of the Gaels, that they battled the Tuatha De Dann and forced them to retreat underground where they are believed to live in  hollowed out hills. The Sidhe are sometimes referred to as the people of the mounds. The Sidhe are also associated with metalwork and smithcraft as well as being the protectors of the hills and forests of Ireland. The Sidhe have various geographic tribes and are usually organised like an aristocratic court with a local king or queen.

Water Fairy 

There are many different types of the Fairy Sidhe with many shapes, sizes and powers too!
These include the daoine sidhe or daoine beaga as with so many of the Celtic Fae, they were rarely the diminutive winged creatures we imagine as fairies today.
Perhaps the most well known were the Welsh Gwragedd Annwn, of the Lake Maidens. Unlike many of the water fairies these were generally benevolent to humans. Another interesting variety of water fairy is the
Asrai. These are delicate creatures that can only exit in the water. If they are exposed to the air-for example when caught in a fishing net-the Asrai fairy will turn into a pool of water and slip away. Its easy to imagine a fisherman seeing something glittering beneath the surface of the water, only to find nothing there when the net is pulled up. Water fairies have also been associated with the changeling legend, which is the stealing of human children and taking them into the depths of the forests for their own.
As it goes for Water Fairies around the World, every body of water, from the smallest stream to the 
vast ocean, it has its own protective fairy, living below the surface being either good Fae or not so nice Fae. 
In Wales, fairy maidens called the Gwragedd Annwn dwell beneath the lakes, are exceedingly beautiful and occasional will venture ashore to take a male human lovers and husband to either, live on land and lake or to

Water Fairy

live under the lake. One such Lady of the Lake was called Vivienne or Nimue which appeared in the stories of King Arthur - Vivienne of the Lake had supplied King Arthur with his Excalibur the magical sword form the Other -world. The sea is as densely populated with fairies as any other place on Earth. In it s depths dwell mermaids and mermen, nymphs and other types of fairy creatures. 
These water spirits can control the weather and the water, raise storms, which can also have the power to cause shipwrecks or keep a ship safe too. In ancient times, it was the practice to placate the spirits of the sea with a sacrifice before setting out on a long voyage out to sea. Like all sea fairies they are personified as lovely and seductive also sometimes very treacherous too.These water spirit's can be either the well known mermaids which origins is the goddesses who rose from the sea, like Venus/ Aphrodite or even the fish tailed Atargatis and Derceto. The sea is associated with the Great Mother Goddesses whose names include Maia, Mary, Mara, Marian, Maria and Miriam; All these names are derived from a root word from the sea. 
Sea goddesses are usually also goddesses of love and the moon, drawing in the tides, rivers,

Jenny Greenteeth 

dew, fog, mists, and the flow of human life thru any type of water. Ancient mariners would have 

Jenny Greenteeth

a tattoo of a star to honour the Goddesses Benus as they steered by her Star. She was also the prototype of the huge sail ships figureheads. Some water fairies are unfriendly and very dangerous too.
Jenny Greenteeth lives in the River Ribble in Northern England. When green weeds are waving in the flowing waters, it is a sign that Peggy is lurking beneath the surface, ready to take another victim. She will haunt the stepping stones near Brungerley and every seven years she will claim a human life by grabbing some helpless
traveller and pull him beneath the water to drown him. Children are warned not to go near the water where this very unfriendly and dangerous fairy named Jenny Greenteeth lives, or if they do she will take them too.
Jenny Greenteeth is only one such fairy. There is much more to here story.. Which I do plan on doing more on her tale so please keep a look out for her post...Eh! hheheh. Another one is Peg Prowler who loves to haunt the River Tees. She is also green with long hair and sharp teeth too. If anyone wades anywhere near the water she will pull on their ankles then drags them down to their deaths. Peg O' Nell also demands the sacrifice of a life every seven years and will be satisfied with a small animal or even a bird, though if this is not offered she will! take a human life whether it be a child or adult human.
The Powers of Water

Water Fairy 

Water has often been considered to be actual living thing, or certainly to have the power of sustaining,bestowing and even restoring life as we know it. As well as being capable of taking it away too! Every ancient society honoring springs, water wells and water sources as sacred. The Celts and other sacrificed 
treasures of the lakes and river spirits. Rivers were worshiped by the Druids and were believed to each have 
their resident water spirits that required sacrifices to be made to them. The River Tweed is said to demand a 
yearly sacrifice, but the Till is more voracious. This is a poem of the River Tweed; 
Tweed says to Till,
'What gars ye Tin sae still?
Says Till to Tweed," 
'Though ye run Wi' speed, and I Tin slaw,
Whaurye droon ae man,

I droon twa'

Water Fairy 

Just as water takes the form of whatever it is poured into, the water faeries have the power to alter their shape to what ever shape they choose. If you anger them by polluting their water, they may appear as a hideous green toothed hags to drench you with a sudden storm, or even drown you beneath the crashing waves of either the ranging rivers or oceans . If they take a liking to you, they might appear as gorgeous golden haired youths or maids, wooing you with sweet fairy music. A 'protoype of water fairies is the Greek sea god Proteus , known as the Old Man of the Sea who is the most masterful at shapeshifter of all Nature. You may 
wonder why? Well its because he is able to assume any shape he desires. Most water fairies are said to be 

Water Fairy

shapeshifters, Perhaps because of the fluid and changeable nature of water itself, which is only given shape by the vessel that it holds it. Another item that Water is ruled by along with the water fairy is the moon. which pulls the ebb and flows of the tides and many water fairies are said to appear by moonlight. Under the full moon is the best time to contact them or even see them from a far. Our bodies too respond to the moons tides, as they are mainly made up of water too. We are influenced by the moons tides almost as much as are fairy friends. Lastly Water has healing powers;especially water that flows east to west is empowered by the rising sun at the vernal Equinox, May Day and Midsummer. Any stream that runs north to south has magick properties as does the place where the two streams meet, these were often the places for magic and otherworlds made contact. Pools and lakes are magick entrances to the other -world. Where three streams meet was always considered to be a especially potent place of magick where people would gather to drink the water as it would have strong magick properties

I hope that You all Enjoyed my post

I am going to show some of the variety of water fairies 

that I found in this post at the end here 

love you all!

Blood Moon Lunar Eclipses-

First of 4 'Blood Moon' lunar eclipses set for Monday night Could be see Here in Seattle!
'Blood Moon' Lunar Eclipse Visible April 14-15 is an Rare Series of a Total Eclipses. 

The Space Needle
in Seattle Washington
with the 'Blood Moon'
Monday April 14,2014 1am

I thought I would share our Images of the 'Blood Moon' that was seen at around
1am last night. I checked out my local King5New hear in Seattle and It seems that the weather was
good to us for a change, which is hard to believe since March we were drowning in rain! Anyway
Seattle got a awesome eyeful in the wee hours of Monday morning, of the total lunar eclipse that turned
into the Blood-red. The same happened on Saturday, Dec 10 and, at long last, the event will be visible form parts of North America too. I found some info about the lunar eclipse if you all are interesting about this amazing and rare happening throughout the world. It happens when the Earth blocks the sun's light from reflecting off the moon, casting a eerie shadow over its surface. During a total lunar eclipse the moon is completely obscured from view.  This is the last total lunar eclipse we'll see until 2014, but its the second of 2011. Another total eclipse was visible from parts of Europe, Africa, Australia and Southern Asia in June. From what they are all saying this is the best time, and the best viewing spots for viewing this 'Blood Moon' or

Image I found taken in Seattle Washington
of the Blood Moon on April 14, 2014 between
12:06am-1:24am 

Harvest Moon as its called to is in the darkening area's will be Alaska, Northern Washington Seattle [Yeah!], Hawaii, Australia and parts of Canada and Asia too, but sky watcher in the Western U.S. also will be able to see the early stages of the eclipse before the moon sets. It seems that when the eclipse appears in the lower horizon in North America you might get more of the eerie moon as they say the very large blood moon. This is because of the Earth's atmosphere will likely make the moon look larger that it truly is, but it is truly a great sight. For all you folks that live in Seattle area like myself I discovered that on Tuesday tonight Eclipse will be starting to brighten up at 1:24 until the eclipse ends at 2:33 am Tuesday. A bit later than Monday night. [if you missed the times it was full eclipse at 12:o6am and staying eclipsed all the way to 1:24am]. In early morning of Oct. 8, starting at 2:14 a.m., peaking from 3:25 to 4:24 a.m. and ending at 5:34 a.m. on the west coast is again. Will be again a good spot to see it once again. weather permitting. You just have to stay up later (or get up earlier.)  
I thought I would write a bit about why they call it a Blood Moon'? There are many different reasons, I will try to cover as many as I can. 1.) Some say the Blood Moon used to be an alternate name of the
Hunter's Moon, which was full moon after the Harvest Moon, which is the first full moon after the Autumnal Equinox. That is just one of many versions. There is also Biblical prophecy with the blood moons lunar eclipses too. They say that the Dates of the Biblical prophecy of the Blood Moons in 2014-2015 are four successive total lunar eclipses in the coming years.
In 2014: Total lunar eclipse Blood Moon: April 14 - 15 
              Total lunar eclipse Blood Moon: October 8 
    2015  Total lunar eclipse Blood Moon: April 4
              Total lunar eclipse Blood Moon: September 28
I hope these dates will help your Moon glaceing for the next 2years.

Map on the Lunar Eclipse

As for the Biblical Prophecy of the Blood Moon, Its is said there is a total of 8 tetrads in the
21st century [2001- 2100], but proponents of this Biblical prophecy regard the upcoming tetrad as
especially significant because it coincides with two important Jewish holidays too! These two days
are: Passover and Tabernacles. Ok! I know its a bit
confusing, but It does have an important meaning to the post trust me. I believe it was important to put this put in the post .. so please bare with me:o)
The April 2014 and April 2015 will have a total lunar eclipse align with the feast of Passover.
The October 2014 and September 2015 total lunar eclipses align with the feast of the Tabernacles of the Jewish Religion.  The Jewish calendar is a lunar calendar that is just how they celebrate within the calendar days. In any year, it's inevitable that a full moon will fall on or near the feasts of Passover [15 Nissan] and Tabernacles [15 Tishri]. Nissan and Tishri are the first and seventh months of the Jewish calendar if you are wondering.. I thought it would be important to include this of the Jewish Religion.  I found it interesting that
three of these four lunar eclipses are not visible in parts of Israel. That seems epic in a not so good way in my opinion. And I found that the only one that they may get to see is the Lunar Eclipses and it is only the tail end of it on September 28, 2015, which will be only

observed for a short while before sunrise. I don't really know how biblical this will mean to us All!
So You are all probably wondering what this all means?
In our 21st century 2001-2100, there will be a total of 8 tetrads, but in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, there were none at all. Curious Eh! If we include all the centuries from the 1st century AD 1-100 through the
21st century 2001-2100, inclusive, there are a total of 62 tetads- This is part of it! There is more...
Well I found a little bit of info: These groups of four, called a 'tetrad', happen roughly once every 10-18years. The last one was in 2003-2004 in the days before twitter and fancy# Blood Moon hashtags so it was largely went unnoticed! and after this current group that spans this year and the next, 3rd tetrad of the 21st Century will be in 2032-2033. There will be eight tetrads this century alone.
Ok, I think I found the Biblical meaning- In the next few years, with these series of eclipses the
Christians have interpreted it as fulfillment of an End-Times prophecy, or a phenomenon called 'a lunar "tetrad' where there are four successive total lunar eclipses with no partial eclipse in between.
the next are in October 8th and April 8th and September 28th of next year. Tetrads are not
unusual. There will have been eight of them in this century, but some believe in the End of Days with an
book written by John Hagee's 'Four Blood Moons' where he quotes from the Bible of book Joel: 2:31 "The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the lord come." 
This is from the bible this I know but I don't understand how a group of Christan's would put such trust in a regular book that was written just about the Four Blood Moons rather and the bible its self? That of course is just my opinion. What I discover more about this doom as these few Christan's feel that these blood moons are to be, other than Joel: 2:31"The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the lord come."
Ok, I found some real Scripture from both on-line and my own bible. I felt it was important to find the meaning of Joel: 2:31 in the Bible rather in a book that was written by just an author about it. 
Here's the Scripture on-line Joel:2:31
'' I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke. "The sun will be turned into darkness. And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the 
LORD comes. "And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD Will be 
delivered; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who escape, As the LORD has said, Even among the survivors whom the LORD calls."
From my own Bible: Joel: 2:31 "The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the survivors whom the Lord calls." 
It also is said to coincided with two important Jewish holidays: Passover and Tabernacles which contributing to the significance to the event above.
The Jewish people have said: 'In any year, it's inevitable that a full moon should fall on or near the feasts of Passover 15 Nissan and Tabernacles 15 Tishri, Nissan and Tishri are the first and seventh months of the Jewish calendar, respecitively. It is somewhat ironic that three of these four lunar eclipses are not visble - even in parts -from Israel.'  
I don't really know what will or not happen I do know it was very inlighting doing this post. I
was hoping to see the moon tonight but I just get to tried. I hope that some parts of this post doesn't

worry anyone. I just like to put the information out there for everyone..Me personally I don't quite believe that the end is coming now! Besides there is also one other meaning that I have forgot which is very important and that is Full moons have dated back to ancient times with the Native Americans of what is not the northern and eastern United states. Those tribes have been keeping track of the season by the recurring full moons for centuries. And there is much more to this story but, I will have to continue on this one on a later day. The Magick Lady has run out of gas...heheh. 

Anyway hope you all have a great evening its late for

me.Love You All my dear Friends and Followers.
