Forever a little mystery. I made this with a stranger over the course of 3 or 4 months. This tree stump sat just off a trail I hiked weekly from 2009-2013. One week I saw an attempt of a small stone stack of 6 or 7 stones. I'm not a big fan of stone stacking but would always look for this one as I passed. One week the rocks were swept off the stump. I collected them and placed them back on the stump. I just made a simple "stone circle" shape like the fairy rings I had seen as a child in Cork, Ireland. I noticed the following week that another stone was added to the circle. I added another one and week by week, stone by stone the circle grew. Fast forward a few months and this heart shape started to form until one week we were done. I wish I had documented it weekly. I wonder if my mystery partner documented it? True story.
I abruptly stopped my hikes there upon the death of my father in '13. Various reasons but primarily I couldn't handle the silence.

Julia: Wait, I recognise you. I recognise all of you!

Fun Guy 1: You must mistake us for some other people.
Tumblr media
Julia: Nope, you're Kit! We met just yesterday!
Kit: Ehhh…
Tumblr media
Kit: Plummit.
Tumblr media
Julia: And I've seen you at UBrite's campus.
Fun Guy 2: Wouldn't think so.
Tumblr media
Julia: I've seen you hanging out with Kit before I knew him, so I'd guess that you're in the Biology Programme.
Eric: Okay, fine. I'm Eric.
Tumblr media
Julia: And I've seen you at Foxbury's campus.

Malcolm: What do you mean "one of"?

Julia: Oh, please, you're a famous family, people know.
Tumblr media
Malcolm: It's just rumours.
Kit: Are you aware that a now famous comedian named Johnny appeared right after Johnny Landgraab "disappeared"?
Tumblr media
Julia: So what're y'all doing?
Kit: If you'd like to know all the details you have to join us. We do need one more member anyway.
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
Kit: We're the Order of Enchantment, a several hundreds of years old secret society, founded by Esther Mudget when she studied at Britechester University.
Tumblr media
Kit: Esther believed in magic, and in her diaries she wrote that she had found small fairy-like creatures around this place.
Tumblr media
Kit: But one day she went missing. No one knows what happened to her, but people reported seeing her using magic.
Tumblr media
Julia: I don't really believe in magic. Can I join anyway, just for the fun?
Tumblr media
Kit: Of course. None of us really believe in magic either, but we think it's a nice tradition to preserve an old secret society like this. You're welcome to join us.
Tumblr media
Julia: This will be so much fun!

i feel like i need to make something clear. when i say “the fairies can have me,” it’s not because i trust the fair folk. it’s because i don’t trust anyone else either. hope this helps ❤️

Hiss like a snake, dress like a poison shroom
Sharpen those claws and keep those fangs
Stay alive to spite your enemies
Live well to drive them to their graves

What is a Fairy Ring 🍄 | Scottish Folklore
Tumblr media
Historically, there are actually two different things that are called “fairy rings.”
The first I believe is exclusive to Ireland, and is now more commonly called a “fairy fort.” These forts are an elevated ring-shaped mound that is quite large. Some say that humans built a structure originally, then when the humans left, the fairies took it over. Other stories have a more traditional story, which I will talk about in a moment.
You can walk around the large rings yourself, but stepping into the center or causing it disrespect it not a good idea. I once talked to an Irish man while I was at a fairy fort in Ireland. He was still superstitious in the old ways, and said he once saw a tourist urinate into a fairy fort, and did not make it very far before breaking his leg.
The second type of fairy ring is the kind most people today are familiar with; it is a mysteriously perfect circle made of moss, or grass, or mushrooms, or some sort of other living growth.
"The trooping fairies can be large or small, friendly or sinister. ‘They tend to wear green jackets, while the solitary fairies wear red jackets. They can range from the heroic fairies to the dangerous and malevolent SLUAGH or those diminutive fairies who include the tiny nature fairies that make the fairy rings with their DANCING and speed the growth of flowers." A Encyclopedia of Fairies by Katharine Briggs (1976)
Both these types of fairy rings are often said to be caused by fairies dancing in a circle, or sometimes by fairies riding horses in a circle.
Tumblr media
Stepping into a ring or causing it destruction could lead to several different things: including being transported to the otherworld, being cursed, being forced to dance, and more.
If you were trapped, dancing there, you would need a rescuer to help pull you out, or touch you with iron or rowan.
‘I remember how an old woman pulled me out of a fairy ring to save me from being taken.’ The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries by W.Y. Evans-Wentz (1911)
So, to sum it up, a fairy ring could be a place of play where a magic mark is left from fairies the night before, or perhaps it is their portal to the Otherworld. No matter the answer, disrespecting one of these places is said to bring bad things your way, even if not immediately.
"He wha tills the fairies’ green Nae luck again shall hae : And he wha spills the fairies’ ring Betide him want and wae. For weirdless days and weary nights Are his till his deein’ day. But he wha gaes by the fairy ring, Nae dule nor pine shall see, And he wha cleans the fairy ring An easy death shall dee." A Scottish Rhyme
Tumblr media
("Plucked from the Fairy Circle". A man saves his friend from the grip of a fairy ring.)

Hi! Reading your blog is such a gift — at least to me, that's how it feels. I've been thinking for some time about what I could research about on the Fae, because it's a subject I want to focus my academic paper on. Do you happen to have any ideas? It would really help a lot if you could.
My Child, you are a delight and a wonder. Researching the Fair Folk is rather like taking a dive into what seems an ordinary pool of water, only to find that beneath the surface it expands ever wider and delves much deeper into the earth than you could have possibly believed. Down and down you swim, searching for the bottom, and you discover instead that there are tunnels and caverns that extend down and outward for miles and miles, possibly even connecting to the far away sea. There is simply an extraordinary amount of things to study when it comes to the Folk. You could look into the language, what words are connected to Faerie and Fae, and how the influence of those words has brought all kinds of strange ideas as cultures and concepts intermixed over time. Perhaps you could choose a particular country or group of people in Europe and study closely their folklore and myths, how those tell of the people themselves and their values and beliefs, as well as what it is they are saying about the Fae. Maybe you might write about a certain kind of Faerie, such as a Nixie, and then travel along on a journey all over Europe, tracing the movements of the idea and the changes of the name. There are more connections than you would ever know from a glance at the surface. What ideas, archetypes, and tropes have been preserved through Folk and Fairy Tales? Created through them? Passed along down through them? Discovered through them? Perhaps you could look at what sorts of things in the world were influencing those Fairy Stories. Cultural and Religious changes such as the rise of the Christian Church. Or perhaps Geographical changes like the slow disappearance of the ancient Hercynian Forest. If a narrower scope suits your tastes, perhaps look at a particular aspect of Faerie stories. What sorts of objects or ideas often show up in those old tales? Even things we dismiss as modern invention have surprising roots, like the origins of Fairy Dust. Despite its flaws, Academia and its systems allow for one of the most interesting opportunities one could take advantage of. Taking aspects from two different disciplines and combining them in order to explore a topic in a more unique way. For example, one could examine the odd behavior of Time in the old stories of Fairy Rings through the lens of Theoretical Physics (For example the work of Itzhak Bars on his theory of Two-Time Physics, which suggests the mathematical possibility of a universe with two dimensions of time instead of the usual one). There are ever so many ways you could approach the topic of the Fae. My suggestion is to find a broad category inside Faerie, then narrow and narrow and narrow your scope until you find something of a more manageable size. If you feel the urge to try and add too much into your paper's topic, resist it. Save that for another paper. Some academic papers can be for your own personal enjoyment too, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people writing them after getting out of school. I offer you all the blessings that are mine to give. Good luck! And I would love the chance to read your paper at some point.

What if I got a ring of mushrooms tattooed around my ankle so it was like I was constantly stepping in a fairy ring
What would happen

So fairy rings are formed by a certain type of fungus feeding on decaying organic matter, right? So can we get a story about some 16th century serial killer who started spreading word that those weird rings of mushrooms were caused by fairies so that no one would disturb the dead bodies buried in them?
