Apsara Fairies


Water Nymphs of Hindu mythology that were created during the Churning of the Waters and now dance in heaven in front of Indra. They sometimes live in banana and fig trees where passers by can hear them playing cymbals and lutes. They are also companioned with the Gandharvas, the air spirits of music. They give good fortune to those who engage in games of luck but can cause derangement in those that hear their music by enticing them with their smiles. They also live in arjuana trees and live among the peacocks. - See more at: http://www.mythicalcreatureslist.com/mythical-creature/Apsaras#sthash.ZtacPsHP.dpuf

I thought that I would do another fairy for you all my dears friends and followers, I am doing much better this
third week in my nasty cold, I have been trying to answer all your lovely comments:o) And I will continue to Apsaras fairies or spirits, which are refers to as the divine beauties and dancers who populated Lord Indras court in Hindu mythology in Japan. I will try to cover both as best that I can. I hope that you all will find this post as interesting as all of the rest of my stories:0)
try to keep up as best as I can. My next post is about the Apsara Fairies which have many different twist and turns about this Fairies. I found both the Hindu & Buddha Apsara spirits females of the clouds/ And The Sanskrit term for these celestial beings as the 
Besides the two different and other cultural Mythology of the Apsara fairy and female spirits they are also companions with the Gandharvas, the air spirits of music. They give good fortune to those who engage in games of luck, but can cause derangement in those that hear their music by enticing them with their smiles.
These beautiful fairies have also been know to live in the Arjuana trees and live among the peacocks which I have found that are very sacred in their own. I am planning to do a post just on the beauty of these amazing birds the Peacocks at some point.:0)
The Apsaras have been referred in ancient stories, legends as well as in fairy tales. They are variously described as fairies, angels, nymphs and sirens too. Actually they are celestial maidens of exquisite beauty 
and alluring charm, atrtistically blessed with the power of dance and song. They also have the will power so
Apsara Fairy 
that they can change their body shape/ shapeshifters to any form they desire. 
The Apsaras are really the court dancers of the kings of the gods, of Indra. It is Indra under whose instructions the Apsaras seduce mortals, kings and sages, who became powerful enough to threaten the Mighty Indra. It is said that the male counterparts of the Apsaras are called Gandharvas, who are also very 
expert in music as well. The Apsaras dance in Indra' court while the Gandharvas sings and plays the music. 
How that I have given you a little bit about the Apsara fairy history I thought I would go in more detail, because this fairy has a lot more depth to them. 
'An Apsara or Sanskrit is a feminine of either Vietnamese, Bidadari, Malay, Indonesian and Tausug  also known as a Vidhya Dhari. Is a female fairy spirit of the clouds and the waters. In Hindu and Buddhist mythology, the Apsara is frequently translated as Apsara  which are "nymphs 'celestial nymph and celestial maiden." These Apsaras are supernatural beautiful girls; that will appear as young women of great beauty and
elegance who are proficient in the arts of dancing. They are said to be the wives of the Gandharvas, court
servants of Indra. They will dance to the music made by their
husbands, usually in the palaces of the Gods and entertain the Gods and fallen heroes. In their assignment as caretakers of fallen heroes, they may be compared to the valkyries of Norse Mythology. Apsaras are also shapeshifters too and can change their shape at will, specially when rule over the fortunes of gaming and gambling. 

Some of the most famous Apsara fairies were Urvasi Menaka, Rambha and Tilottama. 
Sometimes the Apsaras are compared to the muses of ancient Greece, Also they are associated with 
water so they may be compared to nymphs, dryads and naiads of ancient Greece as well. They are also 
associated with fertility rites. In Hinduism the lower Apsaras are sometimes regarded as nature spirits who may lure men to their deaths; in this respect they may be compared to the Slavic Rusalki or the Greek sirens.
Apsaras 
 In japan the Apsaras in called Tennyo-celestial maidens or Tennin-heavenly beings. Yu usually will find the art work of these Apsaras Fairies appearing most frequently as dancers and musicians who adorn the Budda in statuary paintings, temples and structure of both China, Japan and Southeast Asia. I couldn' t find the attributes of these Apsaras Fairies in Japan culture as clearly but In the paintings it was quite clear that they are almost always shown standing, 
sitting or flying through the clouds in the most graceful poses.




 playing musical instruments or scattering flowers to give praises to the gods.

Mountain Nymphs of Oreads

Mountain Nymphs Oreads- 
Nymphs are in many way like fairies in that they are
unpredictable, playful, delightful, guarded, & at times can be
Mountain Nymphs Echo
a little scary if they feel they are threatened. Now there are Fairies
that are just a bit scary because they just are scary. This is with the Nymphs too.
But more often then not its because the Nymph or Fairy is either protecting their
home which is usually of a Nature origin..
I the Greek Mythology, an Oreads or Orestiads was a type of nymph that lived in the mountains, valleys
and ravines. They differ form each other according to their dwelling; The Idaeae were from Mount Ida,
and the Peliades were from the Mount Pelion. They each were associated with Artemis since the Goddess, when out hunting preferred mounts and rocky precipices.
There was one very famous Oreiad Nymph of Mount Kithairon in Boiotia. Yes! And this Beautiful
Nymph was Echo. Although being probably one of the most famous of all the nymphs has its good/bad  perks. Thoughtout Mythology her voice and name has lived on to modern times even to this day.
Being that she was a beauty of a Oread from the Mt. Kihairon, she would run into the Great Zeus himself quite often. And Zeus loved the Nymphs be it Mountain, water, etc. but he did enjoy the company of the Nymph Echo. So it meant that when Hera came looking for her wayward hubby,
Mountain Oreads Nymphs 
Echo Mountain Nymph
Echo would have to keep her taking until everyone could make a clean get away. Eventually all Echo's taking make Hera even more suspicious of Zeus when she came a calling. His absence in  Mt Olympus, was becoming more and more frequent. So Hera was determined to catch her husband in the act. Well she did find out it was Echo the Nymph of Mountains of Oreads and a couple of others Mountain Nymphs . Of course this is a much storter version., but Hera cursed poor Echo to lose any ability to speak for herself and to only be able to repeat the words of others. And of course the other Nymphs were punished too, Hera didn' t keep her word to protect her voice and she was punished worst of all. Now not being able to speck to for herself and to only be able to repeat the words of others. She fell into a great depression. The beauty Echo had fallen in love with Narcissus. If You are interested in this story of Echo and Narcisssus Please put your comments and If there are are quite a lot I will look it up for you all and  look into the history of their love and what happens to these to lovers.
Echo Mountain Nymphs
Lovers Narcissus
From what I gather what happen in the tragedy love story, Echo despite falling in love with Narcissus- who
was the son of Lirope of Thespia, a blue nymph, and the river God Cephisus. As the tale goes between the two lovers/ poor Echo who could not speak, saw her beloved Narcissus hunting, so she decided to quietly with him through the woods. Well follow him without being seen. She was desperate to talk to her beloved Narcissus. but unable to speak unless he shouted something so she could repeat it, which she felt was not a very good chance of happening! The Mountain forest was very quite, which was odd, Then Narcissus finally figured out that he had be followed. So he finally shouted out the words''  Who's there?!", to which could only be repeated back by Echo," Who's There?!".
So Do you wonder what happened to these to lovers? Humm. Well I have a bit more to tell. This little exercise in the Mountain forest went on for a while until, guess who had the courage to show their self?
A Heartbroken Echo
who Cried the rest of her days
in the depth of her mountains.
And Echo turned to stone
after crying the rest of
her days until her beauty
was incased in this staute
Well? Ok... It was Echo, she finally mustard up the courage to show herself and ran up to Narcisssus and give him a very
huge hug. She was denied as he pushed Echo away and strictly told her to leave him alone.
Echo's Heart was heartbroken, and she left crying; She cried for the rest of her days until finally she became
a stone. Now all that is left of her is an invisible echo And I bet if you go into the Mountains of theMount Kithairon in Boiotia. You might beable to hear if you listen very carefully
the sound of Echo's cry's echoing throughout the moutaintops... Her spirit will always be in those mountains.. This is something I will always believe.
I hope that you will Enjoy this new post my dears. 
I love you all!
