.. Fairy Coloring Pages .

.. Fairies have the ability to be seen or not by altering their vibrational rate. They learned eons ago that humans can't be trusted so now choose who to show themselves too or not..and still go about their Earthly duties. . Fairies exist in most cultures and they stories may vary but the essence is the same. They see humans as 'breaker of promises' to do their part in keeping the Earth safe and healthy. They are tricksters and can cause a lot of problems for those they see as particularly offensive.

They live secretly among us and you can win their favour by doing things like leaving them a little of your first harvest of whatever grows in your garden. Just be sure to not leave meat..as they hate that and will be very angry. Lady Ellen - author of this website, is also the author of "The Persephane Pendrake Chronicles"...Which answers the question..What To Read After Harry Potter?

The books are filled with mythology, tarot, fantasy, fairy folk and all kinds of magic from Arthurian, Egyptian, Asian, Native American and European..what fun!

thought to have developed from the Romany and/or the Knights Templar. There is even some idea that the tarot came from Egyptian origin and are perhaps remnants of the ancient Book of Thoth, the magic book authored by the god. The book was supposedly redesigned as cards...making it both portable and easy to hide. French theologian, Antoine Court de Gebelin, author or one of the earliest works on tarot, published in Paris around 1775 to 1784, suggests that the Major Arcana comes from the Egyptian Book of Thoth saved from the ruins of a burning temple. The book was then rescued and brought to Europe by traveling Gypsies.

A tarot deck consists of 78 cards...The Major Arcana or the Greater Secrets, number 22 and 56 of The Minor Arcana. some practitioners of tarot use only the Major Arcana..22 cards..as it is believed that these cards contain greater mysteries and spriritual depth.

The Minor Arcana closely resemble the cards of a traditional deck of playing cards, with four suits: Cups(chalices),

Pentacles (coins or discs), Wands (Staves) and Swords.

Each tarot suit has the cards numbered 1 to 10 as in the common playing deck and a page (jack), queen and king. However tarot cards also have a knight and that was not copied into the standard deck. One thought is that the knight was excluded because of the destruction of the Knights Templar and another theory is that the Knights have indeed survived although are incognito and underground.

.. Gothic Fairies .

.. Fairies are not just elementals. Those beings can only work with the element they are attached to whether it be earth, wind, fire or water. Fairies can work with them all. . Fairies exist in most cultures and they stories may vary but the essence is the same. They see humans as 'breaker of promises' to do their part in keeping the Earth safe and healthy.

Be sure to visit Charisma for beautiful collectible Fairy items. Tarot cards, developed in northern Italy, some 500 years ago, were used to play a new type of card game, similar to bridge, but with 21 of the special cards serving as permanent trumps, which could be played regardless of what suit was led, and outranked all the ordinary cards. This Game of Triumphs, as it was called, became extraordinarily popular, particularly among the upper classes, and spread through northern Italy and eastern France. As the game spread to new locales, changes were often made in the pictures, and also in the ranking of the trumps, which usually bore no numbers. In time, tarot spread south to Sicily and north to Austria, Germany, and the low countries.

Centuries later, devotees of the occult arts in France and England encountered the tarot and saw mystical and magical meaning in the enigmatic symbolism of the cards. Their fascination with the cards led to the reputation tarot presently has as a divination tool and occult artifact.
