The Nixies-2013

The Nixie's
 Nixes are the water-people that inhabit all  lakes and rivers of Germany. 

Some say if they see any beautiful maidens dancing on the surface of either a lake or  nearby river, it means that someones has downed in the waterway that they are dancing on - These Nix maidens could be naked or with light clothing. In the any culture it is heartbreaking for all to lose a love one due to a downing and to have maidens dancing for joy because of this sad incident makes it that much harder to deal with. But I am sure there were some that took pleasure in seeing these maidens dancing naked or with very thin clothing on the lake or river. 
In German folklore the Nixie's are your typical mermaid. But they are very different in Germany. 
The males Nix have green teeth and wear a green hat, sitting on a rocks near the banks of rivers & lakes. They are probably scoping out the human women to see who looks to be easy prey to enchanted or trick them into coming with them down to their underwater palace, where the ladies are forced to marry these devious male Nixes and  have a lifetime of all eternity serving them.
 Interesting I thought and quite different than the Greek Merman. I did find a bit of information that

you might find interesting - The mermen are also have been depicted as having webbed fingers and toes, also they were said to have green beards and hair too.These Merman were able to breathe underwater like a fish and would rather stay in the ocean where they origins are, and they can cause the violent storms and sink passing ships. I thought this to be all very fascinating  for two reasons 1) because there really isn't much written on the merman - I had to really strength to find what I did on the Mermen 2) I had a very hard time finding any photo's that depicted the type of mermen I describe above.  I will show you the photo's I did find and you can make your own conclusions on this subject..
These are not my own photo's - They are of different fine Artist...
But I have gotten of track of the Nix, so I will continue with the Nixes counterpart the female~
Now the Female Nixes are very different than their male counterpart, the original Greek typical mermaid. 

Although there are few similarities with the female Nixes, you can usually see these beautiful young maidens on sunny days sitting on the river bank or the branches of the trees that over-hang the lakes. They are usually combing their long flowing golden hair and could be either clothed or naked. 
Nixie's Habitat ~
The Nixes live down in the waterways of lakes & rivers, in these magnificent  palace's below the deepest parts of the waterways.  Some say its an enormous castles with many other equally beautiful buildings stretched across the lakes and deepest parts of the rivers in Germany.

In the German folklore history there was a story about a young maiden who lived in a small German

village. She was the maid in the house of this small village and everything in her live there was wonderful for the exception of the food at time. She said that there were times that she would have to ask if she could have the food to not have any salt added to hers . I find this very interesting because in all legends, stories & actual true encounters of the mermaid it is always ocean - not fresh water mermaids and I have never heard of a story of a mermaid asking if she could have her food without salt. 
Another interesting fact about the female Nix - when they go on the banks of the lake & rivers they  always dressed in the finest clothes whatever period their in. This could be either the  1200's or 1900's. They are always in finest clothes that the human woman ware. The only way you might be able to tell if they were a Nix is, by the hem of their dress or some other part of their clothing that might be wet. This is the only sign that you might be able to tell if they are a Nix. But mostly they are never discover when on land. 
Now the male Nix is a very different story. They only go onto the banks of the rivers and lakes to  either enchant or trick a human female into coming back with them below the waters of the lake or rivers where they are usually force to marry and serve the male Nix for a eternity.   

I found this to be a fascinating Magick Creature. And It was interesting to find that there was a fresh

water mermaids and mermen. I also found when writing this blog,  that I couldn't find  much information on the merman.  They mostly had the info on the mermaids which I found to be unfair & curious since it is the 21th century? 
These few photo's I have found of the female Nix 
I hope you enjoy! They are from a few great Artist that I found
Enjoy... Wendy

The Unari Elves-2013

The Unari Elves
These Elves are quite unique. They are a mix of the elf and the magic of the Unicorn, who's origins

are attributed to divine interventions. 
They share the elfin passion for song, dance and poetry, as well as maintaining close ties to their woodland heritage with the animal. The Unari Elves are a peaceful clan of elf's but not pacifists and will take up arms to protect those things that they hold dear to them.
Personality ~
The Unari Elves are a passionate race and are born performers. They like to do nothing better than to entertain an audience and move others elves or humans to the point to great emotion. They are far more excitable than their cousin elfin and are nearly always the eternal optimists. They know only selflessness and have a very giving soul.
A Unari Elf companion would not hesitate to sacrifice himself/herself or and Innocent and would travel to the next life with a contented smile in his/her face to help this person in need.
Physical ~
The Unari Elves are not much taller than their elfin cousins . They typically stand about 5' to 6' tall

and weight up to 135-pound to 250-pounds.
The Unari Elf male are noticeably larger than the female and both sexes are covered from Head to hoof in very soft white fur. Their hair is typically ranges in hues from silver to white to gold. Most all Unari Elves kept their hair in long flowing manes. Men usually have short beards on their faces-
A Unari elves legs are jointed just like that of a horse and move and like that of a horse too.  
Yet their face is similar to that of all the elfin cousin's. 
Though, their faces are a little bigger & longer than most elfin clan's, they still have the same pointed

ears and facial features as their cousins. They also have a ivory horn that projects from their forehead that is no more than 3 inches long, but this all depends on how old they will get. Some Unari elf's  can grow ivory horns to great lengths, it just depends on their heritage of the Divine origins of the Unicorns and how long the elf will live. The Unari foals mature at the age 60-years old and can life quite long into many centuries depending on their life-style and environmental conditions.
 They take great care in their grooming skills over the hundreds of centuries. These Unari elves have been known to live very long and happy lives due to their good grooming skills of caring for their ivory horn and the beautiful white, silver or gold flowing manes that they constantly brush and keeping their tails braided and clean. They are even known among the kin to be particular about grooming and keeping their manes and tails very clean and always braided neatly. They also enjoy clothing that is very loose and has flowing lines. This is probably do to the fact that they are half horse/unicorn. They also like bright and cheerful colors too.  
Relationships ~
The Unari elves get along well with all elf's and can be usually found among them for they are highly

valued as performers and entertainers.
These Elves and half elves share a certain bond for they are both half-breeds. They suffered the same predigest as it is still in the year how 2013- 
I found the Unari Elves fascinating and so refreshing. It was wonderful to find these elves that were both a peaceful, passionate, love of song - dance and poetry. And that they are a kinda divine elfin clan you might say..  In the earlier part of the blog I've mention that they are very selflessness and  giving souls . And would give their live freely to save another whether it being elfin or human.

  

Auric Wings

In this Blog I will continue to talk about the faerie wings and the energy or light they have

Fairies aura's of light

within them~
Fairy wings are described by some people who have witness this delightful sight, as a wing-shape

Fairies orbs of lights 

aura's of light rather than actually a physical essences. The notion of auras or orbs of light gained widespread notoriety among most humans across Europe and Northern American with the 19th century spiritualist movement. 
They thought faeries were an aura, a subtle area that is surrounding the physical body, that only can be seen by those who are suitably attuned to the layers of colors and visual energy fields that is linked to other worlds and realms or forces of the huge universe that is never ending.
This notion of believe is both back in the 19th century and even today - which has inspired many writers like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who's uncle, Richard Doyle was one of the leading illustrators in many of the influential anthologies of faerie tales.
Sometimes and more times then not the aura of the faeries is not a visual one, but a flame, (candle

burning intense blue)this was a common notion in Shakespeare's time or a distinct scent presence. 
In Cornwall an intense floral scent assails those who draw near a portal to faerie land, but its not always a pleasant as one would think. 
The Nuckleavee Faerie ~ 
There are Scottish sea faeries called Nucklelavee which are a type of fairy found in Scotland in the Orkney Islands. It is as far removed from your usual conception of a fairy as possible and its name is still considered unlucky in some parts of the Scottish Isles. 
He is a horrific demon of the seas, the Nuckleavee and a godlike horror

Nuckleavee Faerie 

that will intangible himself  and can be invisible while he's in the sea. Once he reaches land the creepy Fairy Nuckleavee will take a different form - it took was a kin to a living nightmare and was described as either a horse, a man or a fusion of both in both forms. The Scottish fairy was skinless with pulsating veins and muscles exposed. 
The Nuckleavee Faerie was gigantic in size yet its features were grotesquely mismatched with a head so horribly large it would roll to one side and its arms were so long they would drag along the ground. Plus his hands were monstrously huge, with a single cyclops like eye on its head and the horses legs he has had to be a kin to flippers too. 
The Nuckleavee has a gaping mouth, that his full of rotting fangs and a supernaturally putrid breath that could strike living being dead or infect them with disease at any moment.

 The Nuckleavee Evil Sea Faerie

The creature is responsible for the black plague in London, famine, drought and much more.. According to the nuckleavee's power and his legend, he has a undying hatred to humanity.
If anyone was to use the Celtic harvesting of burning and harvesting of the seaweed in the Scottish Isles, this is said to invoke the Nuckleave Faerie's wrath even more than usual and in retribution the evil fairy would inflict the islands horses with a deadly disease known as mortasheen. 
The only known ways of killing the evil fairy Nuckleave is with freshwater and the Sea Mother goddess of the Sea.
Being of Light ~
 Aura's and energy light force...  Shinning or opalescence is a form of light. 

Fairy aura's of light 

These all come from Ireland's legendary race known as the Luminous or Shining ones for their Magical knowledge and Worldly Grace. 
"White as the divine Snow in Moonlight" This is what a 19th century witness of a faerie sighting said.
Other people have testify to formless presences that show only as a whiteness, like some of the wailing Celtic death faeries. 
Spirits of the Sea ~
These sea spirit faeries tend to reflect the play of light on the oceans

surface. The most astonishing being is the Maori Ponaturi faerie whose skin has a phosphorescent glow at night.  
Fairy Lights ~
Then they are the Persian Devas and Italian Candelas which are tiny spheres of lights who appear as a group of tiny twinkles after dusk. 'Like dolls' and one Englishman describing his faerie sighting in 1842 "Dresses sparking as if with spangles but not sold, rather light and shadowy.
Fairy light might be the most apparent in the

eyes, for many can tell it is a faerie by eyes alone, which are strangely penetrating and bright often described as more shinning than ours. Like burning fire coals in a pale visage. 
They recall the intently staring illustrated in the wonderful books of someone who sees beyond the present world and other realms - 
These are the people that really see faeries and know they are really are faeries and some even have entered their World ~
