As a Celtic influenced poet and writer, I can honestly say that Jenny Butler is my favorite researcher. Miss Jenny definitely does her homework. This was yet another example of her expertise. Excellent job!

After hearing “The Butterfly” and “Congress Reel,” I was about to ask why “The Fairy Reel” was not one of the tunes used as occasional music in this interview...and then at 28 minutes, there it was! Well done! Loved the interview with Dr. Butler, as I always do. I can’t wait for a book!

I visit a local dolmen every second week and leave an offering and sometimes ask a question. I had this experience (there have been a few) after one particular visit: As I was still asleep but in that liminal space in the early hours I had a kind of lucid sleep. But, this was something off the scale. It was so vivid it was real to me that I knew without words that I was flying through Irish Woodlands. Every detail and colour was 100% crisp and real. I saw the woods covered in emerald green moss. I looked up pictures of Ireland when I woke and saw these similar images that said that this is why green is so accosciated with Ireland. I'll never get over it. I was there - travelled there. Family history? Origin of the people who put the dolmen up?

My Nanna used to tell fairy stories... she was 4th generation in Australia but still had all the old piseogs and traditions.

Part of the project looks at how stories change when people go to settle in new lands - do you remember if your Nanna's stories were about Ireland or Australia in terms of setting?

@@JennyButler She told stories about both countries... and a lot were lacking precise location. I remember her telling some stories about the countryside around Cork, where her great grandparents were from (one about a hill where all the women competed for the king's hand in marriage), some stories about the fianna and a lot about how to not offend the neighbours. 😉 The family were all very working class and had a lot to do with indigenous Australians and Italian immigrants, so I suspect some of their stories mixed in too. There are stories about the Australian bush that are a lot like tales of fairies; ghost gums, losing time and hearing music in weird places... eels in creeks which tell stories and old women who turn into crows during the daytime. Nanna always told us that fairies hated iron because it was like their blood; that's why the iron comes from red rocks... bloodsoaked from when the good folk fought their battles. She knew how to spin her stories, but I don't think she was too convinced by some of them, herself. A lot sound like she just repeated her Dad's bedtime stories... but she still used to cover the mirrors during storms and would open the back door if there wasn't anyone there when she answered the front. Dad still does a lot of these things, actually. I wish I could remember the stories more clearly. She was an amazing person.

George Russell depicted three figures because it is a significant number in theosophical doctrine, the three beings or spirits are emanating from each other so all are equal .In theosophy odd numbers such as three, five and seven have particular significance which is why many of his mystical beings also have seven pointed rays of light emanating from their heads. Blues and purples signify devotion.
