>fair folk in south PA?

Am close to that area, do you want my 'red pill' on fae? It might not be what the majority will tell you but it has served me well in my time here. Not gonna bother if you just want the run of the mill opinion

Basically yes they are here they are everywhere on Earth. Essentially they are nature spirits, Fae are just one term for them. All cultures will have versions of them more or less. A good analogue are a lot of the lesser Kami of japan.

Yes they are here, and I have some experience with them. I live in suburbia so I dont have a lot at my house but I am close to hiking trails and for sure they are there. I have quite a bit of experiences with spirits in general out there, and I can't always distinguish what exactly it was I dealt with.

When I went out for Halloween (Samhain) there was a powerful Fae/nature-spirit presence though. The most notable experience was a bright green light I saw floating in the brush, and some bushes shaking strangely. They would shake with no wind and not move similarly to the bushes and trees directly around it. It looked like one of the branches in particular was being shaken by someones hand.

I have also given plenty of offerings to various nature spirits, but I hardly refer to them by Fae in those situations.

To conclude, you can absolutely gain some form of contact with them, but don't limit yourself to thinking of just 'fae', you can look to many cultures to gain an understanding and appreciation from them, and boxing them into categories wont help. Native American culture probably knows a lot about what is native here and how it manifests, but unfortunately I know little of that. And don't forget, reality is often stranger than fiction, it might not be how you imagine but you can contact them for sure.

Thank you, this is very insightful. It makes logical sense, considering small folk and nature spirits seem to be a worldwide phenomena in all mythologies and religions. I'll look into native american lore and see what I can glean.

If you find any cool info share it here, I don't know much at all about PA tribes so I'm interested too
