Hello faery lovers!

Water is a very important source of life. We drink it, we use it, we need it to live and half our world or more is made up of water and so are our bodies.

Therefore this feature is dedicated to water.

Water has always been an important element to faeries and most faeries live near it for there magic and bodies cannot live without it. There is an old saying that faeries are derived from water spirits. Elementals of the water is what they mainly are in most folklore. Not only do they gaurd trees and plant life and some humans but water is probably more important since they are so drawn to it. Which is why
I am surprised I did not see more faeries submerged or even near a water source in the the deviations catagory.

Below are some facts and opinions.

FAERY LORE
In the Irish language the word for faery is "sidhe" (pronounced shee). It is
believed to be derived from the Hindustani word "siddhi" that means, "something
which controls the elements." Rivers often divide the faery realm from the earthly
realm and are referred to as "bridges to the Sidhe."

There are many different types of faeries, both good and evil faeries. Most faeries
are believed to be created from superstition or as an explanation for something
strange that was hard to explain. There are a lot of people who believe faeries are
real, and possibly related to the fallen angel myths.

Ashrays: These faeries live in water. They are both male and female and have the appearance of a 20 year old human but they are very ancient. They have whitish, almost translucent skin. They are most active at night and they cannot live on land. If they are touched by sunlight they melt into a rainbow pool of water. They are very rarely seen today and if they are seen at all it is underwater. Their magical and ritual help is unknown and approach with caution if in their underwater world because their intent towards humans is unknown.

Alven (Aka: Ottermaaner)

Origin : Netherlands
Element : Water

Appearance : Alvens have bodies that are so light that they are almost invisible. They can travel through the air by becoming encased in a water bubble. Occasionally they will show themselves while wearing the skins of otters.

Alven are water faeries found in the Netherlands. Their
bodies are so light that they are almost invisible and they
are wingless, but they can travel through the air enclosed in
a water bubble. They have been known to show themselves
while wearing otter skins. Alvens are most active at night
under moonlight. They live in ponds, lakes and rivers and
they protect night-blooming plants and will harm any human
that attempts to destroy one of these plants. Their only
known enemy is fish and they are friendly to nature loving
humans.

Friends/Foes : They cherish night-blooming plants and will harm any human who attempts to pick or destroy them. Fish is their only known enemies, and they prefer to live in water enclosures where there are none

Lore : They are water faeries who live in ponds, lakes, and rivers, but the River Elbe is their principal home.

Anyhow, my point is that faeries always 90 percent of the time live near water, and I am doing this feature because of the importance of this element.

I hope you enjoy these artists and leave them a comment or two on there beautiful, watery work!

Blessings of Light and Love and Magic
