[blockquote] Now, you know of course your last sentence and sign off are just going to get o_dosa_neo all hot and bothered again. [/blockquote] EEW... Seems like he is pretty good at keeping HIMSELF amused. Down through the ages the Sidhe have been in contact with mortals giving protection, healing and even teaching some of their skills to mortals - Smithcraft or the working of metals being one such skill. Also spawn offspring with mortals. Acts of good or bad . Is said that the Sidhe are generally benign until angered by some foolish action of a mortal. Many trees and mounds are considered under their protection and if a mortal destroys or damages these then a curse is put upon himself and his family. In some parts of the countryside people would not build their houses over certain "fairy paths" because of the type of disturbances which would ensue. They are said to reside in underground mounds. This is very generic information that i have typed. The lore is so very complicated and detailed, it would take pages to explain in detail. I love it though, me and my friend share bedtime stories, mine about my witch ancestors and her about her Sidhe ancestors lol its cool. (yes, i said "HER" :wink: ) This has got to be the strangest NEWBIE thread in the history of MD .....
