0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:09.280

<v Speaker 1>everything on the other side.

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we are, because once you learn to navigate the energetic,

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>or to some the invisible world, life is going to

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>be more fun and much more serene.

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:35.680

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.519

<v Speaker 2>Just Brenda dash Roods dot com.

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's easy.

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>So I think it's really interesting and my you know

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>elfin way that the irony or this is call it synchronicity.

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>You you beginning this class very soon, and and I

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>just have to say I have been Actually I got

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of lack with my guides. I think have my

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>own personal crap, you know, like well moving and just

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>all that kind of stuff. You kind of get caught

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>up in that stuff. And it's funny because I think

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I was just telling you the other day, I started

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>to get reconnected and it has been incredible, I mean incredible.

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I just encourage people like it's I mean ideally you

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 1>practice it regularly. There are people that do and have

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.359
<v Speaker 1>those conversations. And everybody's heard about my story about Jacob

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>take the Wheel and how he saved my laugh on

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the four or five. But you know, I went just through.

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I went recently to Los Angeles and I saw Patricia

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>and we were back in her weird awesome room she

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.839
<v Speaker 1>has since she closed a Crystal Matrix, and we were

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>both like jiving with our guides talking about stuff and

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>it was just so much fun and it was so

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>healing and like, even though it doesn't feel like you're

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 1>on Earth, but I feel like I'm back to Earth

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>as a result of it, because.

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Of Yeah, it's very grounding, right, yes, yes, And it's

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 2>so interesting because you know, recently I taught the class

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 2>in person at Eslyn in June, and so we just

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 2>had our forty day check in together as a group,

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and it was just so sweet to see everyone and

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 2>everyone was so excited to be reunited, you know, visually

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>and see people and see each other. It was really sweet.

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 2>But to hear about their experiences and how their lives

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>have changed, and you know, with the practices that they

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 2>were given in class, how they're using them and it's

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>just shifting their lives.

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Can you share anything without names?

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's just they notice the difference between when I

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 2>do the practice in the morning before you know, I

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 2>engage in my world and then when I'm done doing

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the practice, or if if you know, something happens in

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>the morning and I don't get my practice in the

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 2>day is just harder. It's a little wonky, it doesn't flow,

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 2>it's not as easeful. I'm not as calm like. It's

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>so just taking that time to connect in with those

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>guides and have them on the ready and feeling the

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 2>confidence of that. And one of the students reminded me

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 2>in a reconnection. She was so sweet, she said, I

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 2>remember you said you teach this class because you want

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 2>as many people as possible to have the experience where

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 2>they never have to be lonely again, that they are

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 2>so connected and loved and supported in their journeys. And

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>when you said it, I thought that was really nice.

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 2>But then I took the class and I really under

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>and I practiced when I came home, and I understand

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 2>now what you're talking about. I didn't really know that

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>feeling before, and how it's just empowered her confidence in life,

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 2>in everything she does, not just in connecting with her guides,

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 2>but knowing that she had you know they have her back,

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>and that you know it's they're going to support her,

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 2>They're going to be there, They're going to make it great. Anyhow.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 2>It was really it was really quite beautiful to hear

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>her new perspective on life.

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 1>And not for nothing, humans like in the in our

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>meat puppet body, we all drag around. Part of that

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>is that we're social creatures, right when we talk about

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 1>a loneeness. And you know, I wrote this in my book,

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like, why why is the harshest penalty for our

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>worst criminals is that they're in solitary confinement because that

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>is the worst punishment for a human, right.

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.160
<v Speaker 2>We're social creatures, yeah.

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, And so it makes all the sense in the

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>world about why it sounded good, right, But then when

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 1>you're your student practiced it embodied what it had sounded like, right,

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Like it's like, oh, this is so much better because

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>now because she feels it. Right, it's not just in

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>the it's not in the in the air and the

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>head kind of thing which is just dawned on me,

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>is that what we call people airheads because the air

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>sign is the mental sign. It's all I'm saying this

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>question for later because I have so noticed. I know

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 1>this is like it's your class, but you know, I

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:33.040
<v Speaker 1>can't help it. I step to keep talking. But you know, Jacob,

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>who was my main man, there are times like I

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>can feel him and it's behind me because when I do,

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>like like my work work with him, he's usually behind me.

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>And that rapping. It's like wings. It's like it's like

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>it's like a safety, you know, even though it's so

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.799
<v Speaker 1>ethereal right, and safety is such a like on mas

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Low it's like number two from the bottom of the pyramid, right,

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>but it's this, it's this safety that is extends humanness.

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't yeah, no, I that makes sense.

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And that's what I mean, like they have your back,

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 2>They literally have your back.

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh my, technically I just told that story. You just

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>said that would even connect it.

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 2>That's what I was talking about.

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Your elf is slightly slow, not at all, because I

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>have to confess I just learned something that was I

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>was a little distraught when I got my haircut. You

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>can't tell I got my haircut, by the way, it's

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>in a pony because I can't wear this hits it

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>with me, right, Okay, not that everybody's listening cares. We're

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>just sorting this out. I got my haircut yesterday, and

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, I'm like, what product I go my hair

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's humid, but I know it's dry here.

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>And she's like, oh no, Julie. She goes, you're eighty

0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 1>five percent gray now, and those are white hair and

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>they're wild and there, and she goes, you could very

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 1>well end up with that, like only I said, I'm

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like a white haired witch, like by the

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>time I'm old and I'm and I'm not even that old,

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>so not even that olde yet. And but it's like

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Okay, she goes, you have a little bit

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>of your natural color, you have gray, and you have

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the wild white hair.

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, well, shit, well you are a wild child.

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>It's just a reminder what the body's doing, you know.

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>It's like, Okay, here we go, white haired witch. Anyway,

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the I don't know where I was going with that

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really matter the most important part of this whole

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>first section is that y'all sign the fuck up. It

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is life changing. And I love that you taught it.

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.319
<v Speaker 1>This an escellent and they're getting back to you and

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>they're sharing these stories with you. Everybody needs to me,

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Everyone needs to find their Jacob. And there's more than

0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 1>just one.

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 2>But yeh, And I would just remind people that you're

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 2>working with your guides anyhow, you might as well become

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 2>aware of it, right right, so you can like have

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 2>a little party and give.

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 1>And they have names.

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 2>They have names, and they have names and functions, and

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 2>it's nice to be able to personalize it, to let

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 2>it be a deep spiritual practice and you know, bring

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 2>you to your best in everything you do. Like that, right,

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 2>It's part of their job. It literally is their assignment

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>that they've they've signed up for.

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.839
<v Speaker 1>And if you care to have your life saved, get

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 1>to know your guide.

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 2>It can come in super handy, without a doubt, without

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:38.440
<v Speaker 2>a doubt.

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>So today we are talking more in our folklore mini series,

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and today we're we're talking about fairies. And I don't

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 1>mean like my gay people fairies. I mean like the

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.559
<v Speaker 1>ethereal fairies, because I could do that all day long.

0:09:55.559 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you all about other fairies which they

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 1>can't be banilla, banillovant, it's a word I hate say

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>it for me, banilla, but bvlla, yeah that too. They

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 1>can be that, and they can be evil. But those

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>are just the gay fairies. So but we're going to

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.959
<v Speaker 1>be back in just a minute and we're going to

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:23.719
<v Speaker 1>talk fairies. Y'all.

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back.

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>We laugh, I mean, just do y'all. Do you wonder

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.080
<v Speaker 1>why we laugh every single time we come back? We

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 1>start every sin. When we restart, we just like are giggling,

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>We just have fun. Ye.

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 2>I love that we have fairies and talking about spirit

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:46.680
<v Speaker 2>guides in the same episode because like they're nuanced and layered, right,

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 2>So what do you know, what did what did nerdy

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.680
<v Speaker 2>el find out about fairies?

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, nerdy elf has stuff to say. But in my way,

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>of course, you know, I like to go I start

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>with movies, so we're going to start there. And what's

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:08.839
<v Speaker 1>really interesting. Out of really all of the folk lore

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>mythicalness creatures, if you want to call them that kind

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:18.239
<v Speaker 1>of category, fairies are funny enough, the most prevalent in storytelling.

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I did not know that.

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I have a list and I'm just going to run

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 1>through some of them. And because I think that maybe

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 1>some people who want to like kind of live this

0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.319
<v Speaker 1>whole little fairy world right now, which ps I have been.

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you guys, it is the greatest thing

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 1>h studying, right because it's like I'm living, like with

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.679
<v Speaker 1>the fairies as I go through this stuff, and it's

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>so much fun. So shrinking down, I mean tiny, y'all.

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be a tiny ass elf, not just a

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>short one.

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 2>It's the movie where they shrunk them down that one.

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Honey, I shrank the kids. I don't think it was fairies.

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, no, but that's I'm thinking for you, Like, yeah.

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Totally, that's me. It's gonna be uh, which I shrunk

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 1>my health or whatever. So you know tinker Bell being

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the most famous, right, it's got it. I mean it's

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>also the oldest, the most famous. Huh. Very global, Oh,

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>totally global. But we also have there's a movie called

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.839
<v Speaker 1>fairy Tale the Dark Crystal. I did watch that and

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I really liked it. It's kind of a it's a

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>little CULTI because it's weird.

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll take your word for it.

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I love I have a I have a

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>long sleeve T shirt that I bought from the Oscars

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 1>dot org. Like they have a store that they had

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>me museum store and they actually sell or did these

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>like dark Crystal themed. I mean it has like the

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>poster on it and the cools. Anyway, I have a

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>long sleeve T shirt of the Dark Crystal because it's weird.

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>So I'm just saying out loud. We had Peter pan

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, come On, which eventually became the movie Hook, right,

0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:58.079
<v Speaker 1>that had.

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 2>So Peter pans a fairy.

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:03.760
<v Speaker 1>There's a fairy in Peter Pan.

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh there's a very yeah, isn't this But.

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>There are two separate movies. I'm just telling it. There's

0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fairy action going on here.

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, okay.

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.200
<v Speaker 1>There's also like a kind of a kid's movie called

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Ella Enchanted. There's another movie which I haven't seen. So,

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.439
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I now have a new movie list.

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna live. But you know it's my fairy

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>movie list. So you'll get your if you if you're

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.960
<v Speaker 1>not driving or do anything important, start writing the ship down.

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>So Willow is another one. Oh, Pans lab lab LABYRINTHA.

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.959
<v Speaker 2>What is wrong with me? It's in its shadow phase.

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 2>We'll just let that go.

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. That's another one. Also weird like it's there's

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>some good weird fairy movies, is what I'm saying.

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:53.959
<v Speaker 2>So when you say weird, do you mean dark?

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Do you mean they can sometimes dark? But sometimes it's

0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>weird like it's not like so when you have like

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>kids stories for fairies like a Peter Pan or a

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 1>tinker Bell, you have them like interacting a lot with

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 1>humans and very much on the human kind of plane.

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>But in some of these they're not on the human plane. Okay,

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Like right, so, like Dark Crystal is not Pan's Lab

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Labyrinth is not. Like that's what I mean, Like it's

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 1>more otherworldly. But it's a very very fine question on

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>my definition of weird. Okay, there's the Spiderwork Chronicles that

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 1>actually if you have Roku, you can watch it on

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Roku based on the books. I can't believe. I know that.

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I just talked to my friend at Roku random. Well,

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I just talked to my friend Jay over there. There's

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 1>there's a movie called It's a Disney movie called Artemis Fowl.

0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 1>There's another. There's several Disney movies that have fairies in them,

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 1>like even Maleficent with Angelina Joli there's fairies in that.

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I even saw there's a movie and I'm like, oh,

0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I need to watch this one. It's called Pirate fair

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what the hell is that? I need to

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 1>watch that. There's another uh uh. I think it was

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 1>a DreamWorks movie and I don't think. I think maybe

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I did work on it called Rise of the Guardians.

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, that was right before I started working on DreamWorks.

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Was called Rise of the Guardians. It's a uh uh,

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>it's an animated film Fairies, and that my favorite one

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 1>is actually The Tooth Fairy. Okay, I have a feeling

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I've never told this story, so we're going to divert

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>slightly because this is one of my favorite Hollywood stories ever.

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 1>So The Tooth Fairy started Dwayne john Has starred Dwyane

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Johnson The Rock. It also had Julie Andrews in the

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 1>movie as well, and so it was the cutest movie.

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>It was one of the first, like within my first year, now,

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe my first few years I worked at Fox, probably

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>my first three. So we have they're called filmmaker meetings,

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>and Dwyane is in the filmmaker meeting and ps in person,

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 1>you don't call him the Rock. His name was Dwayne.

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 1>So we're having this great meeting with him. And afterwards,

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 1>so and you remember when I was around that age,

0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I was in the best shape ever. I had hatch

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 1>my trainer, I was skinny, I was strong. I was

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>like beating boys at work arm wrestling like that was

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>that face so left handed just ps everybody, and I'm

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:30.000
<v Speaker 1>right handed. So after the meeting, Dwayne was like, Juliet,

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>was so great to meet you. I'm so excited. The

0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>marketing plan looks great. We have this really lovely conversation

0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and I said, I cannot wait to see you again.

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 1>And I said, and I have to tell you. He goes,

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>what's that? And I said, next time, I'm going to

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 1>challenge you to him arm wrestle. He goes, oh you are.

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 1>He goes, well, let me tell you some I go,

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.240
<v Speaker 1>what's that? He goes, I'm not going to let you win.

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I said, that's interesting, because let me tell you something.

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>He goes, what's that? Literally, guys, this is that. When

0:16:58.440 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>he goes, what's that, I said, I'm not going to

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>let you win either. That man stood twice my size,

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>giggling like a little school girl. So watch The Tooth Fairy,

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 1>just because he's an awesome dude, I mean, because he

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.120
<v Speaker 1>was like in the movie, he was this guy who

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't believe he was made to be a fairy and

0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 1>that he was kind of a fussy kind of guy.

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 1>And you know this, this is his transition to not

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 1>being a fuzzy guy, you know whatever. So anyway, I

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 1>had to share that story. I'm very excited about The Tooth.

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.679
<v Speaker 1>I still love that movie. So anyway, there's lots of

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:35.399
<v Speaker 1>movies about it. And it's funny because seriously, I just

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to repeat this because I've been I've literally

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:42.119
<v Speaker 1>been saying this. It is the most prevalent. It's like,

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you don't see this many movies about the Lockness Monster.

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.280
<v Speaker 1>You don't see it about Bigfoot, you don't see as

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>many dragon movies. You don't see Elf movie, like you

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 1>see a couple Elf movies. But it's fairies, like they're

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>literally everywhere.

0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's that is the thing about fairies.

0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 1>They're everywhere exactly. So let me tell you my nerdy party.

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Ready for my nerdy part. I know I'm very tatty,

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I promise y'all, and that you're gonna hear from Brenda

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot more. But it's like, I get it super

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 1>excited about this stuff.

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Woice, come on.

0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 1>So it's fucking fairies. Not just fairies, it's fucking fairies.

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 1>So in speaking of I will talk about fucking fairies

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 1>here in a minute. But so for real, there's a

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 1>thing in here about not technically don't use that language,

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 1>but that's elf language. But anyway, so for those who

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 1>might not be totally familiar with what a fairy is,

0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.919
<v Speaker 1>it is in writing what they say. It's a mythical being,

0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:39.560
<v Speaker 1>which we will address that of folklore and romance, usually

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 1>having magical powers and dwelling on earth. In close relationship

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:48.240
<v Speaker 1>with humans. It can appear as a dwarf creature, typically

0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 1>having green clothes and hair, living underground or in stone heaps,

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>and character and characteristic. I can't speak characteristically, good God, damn,

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:03.919
<v Speaker 1>exercising magic powers to benevolent ends. I should not be

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>reading today.

0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:06.680
<v Speaker 2>They're doing great, You're doing great.

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.439
<v Speaker 1>I can't pronounce anything, so I just made it.

0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 2>It makes me giggle because when you do the fairy emojis,

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 2>they're they're green, right.

0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.080
<v Speaker 1>They're green, and that funny. I didn't know that until

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you just made that connection.

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 1>See, yeah, there's also multiple ways to spell them, but

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>we don't have to get into that level of detail.

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:28.680
<v Speaker 1>So here's what's.

0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Actually that just comes from the because it's a global phenomena.

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, well, which is when you go back to.

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 2>The Celtic right, they spell it differently.

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:39.440
<v Speaker 1>This is where we're headed, whichy pooh pooh, pooh wooh

0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 1>is The term fairy goes back to the Middle Ages

0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>in Europe. They appear like they're they're from, like when

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.119
<v Speaker 1>we have our oral history as well, because we know

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:59.280
<v Speaker 1>we start going back, you know, four or five hundred

0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 1>plus years ago, we were dealing with, you know, a

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 1>population that was pretty illiterate, right, So so much was

0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:11.879
<v Speaker 1>through oral history. They also have written history as well

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:16.879
<v Speaker 1>about fairies, and they have them from Sanskrit. There's a

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:22.159
<v Speaker 1>word called gandharva g a n d h a r

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:27.480
<v Speaker 1>v a, which means semi divine celestial musicians.

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that fun like cord gestures.

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.439
<v Speaker 1>But fairies is what they call them. Yeah, And then

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 1>they talked about, of course, the the nymphs nymphs of

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Greek mythology and Homer, and then they also have the

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 1>j I n n i of Arabic mythology. And then

0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 1>there's also similar folk characters of the Samoans, of the

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Arctic peoples and of other indigenous Americans. So you said global,

0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:04.000
<v Speaker 1>and you were fully you got a plus on the

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.040
<v Speaker 1>global because it is. But this is where all the

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, again, whether it's written or oral, this is

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:12.240
<v Speaker 1>where this has been compiled from was all over the world.

0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:14.920
<v Speaker 1>And the different you know, terms they had for them,

0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the names they had for them, and the different parts

0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of the world. So I think it's really fascinating. And

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 1>of course we've certainly talked about how fairies have been

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 1>characterized in like children's movies specifically, and so a lot

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:32.680
<v Speaker 1>of what I pulled up talks about that. What's interesting

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:36.399
<v Speaker 1>is some of them how it shifted from the early dates.

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Is that again, this is like, you know, because modern

0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.880
<v Speaker 1>day we ruined lots of stuff, they have made them

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 1>more sinister at times, right, Like, so we see the

0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:47.280
<v Speaker 1>sinister part coming in.

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Well fairies, can you know we talked about elves and

0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:57.199
<v Speaker 2>how elves can take things into the other realm. Fairies

0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:58.080
<v Speaker 2>can do the same thing.

0:21:58.440 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes they can.

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean they do it a little differently, but they do.

0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:06.680
<v Speaker 2>They do like to hide things on us because they

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:07.680
<v Speaker 2>like to play with us.

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:10.160
<v Speaker 1>They like to play with us, exactly right. So let

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 1>me just tell you. So I'm going to read again.

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully I can say these words so, but but if

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I read it, I'm going to get it right because

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:21.200
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting about how things have how have they've shifted,

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:23.520
<v Speaker 1>And it also gets to the point when I call

0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:26.959
<v Speaker 1>them fucking fairies. So hold on. So fairies are usually

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:32.440
<v Speaker 1>conceived as being characteristic, characteristically beautiful or handsome, and is

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 1>having lives corresponding to those as human beings.

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Mh uh.

0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:42.359
<v Speaker 1>Though they say that the fairies live longer, they also

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>say they don't have souls. So that's one thing I

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:49.720
<v Speaker 1>had a question for you about. And I say that

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the Internet says they don't have souls.

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.959
<v Speaker 2>Is they don't have human souls. They have fairy souls.

0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:59.399
<v Speaker 1>That's what I was thinking because.

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I identified it as like how we identify our human song.

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, Okay, because I read that, I'm like, I don't

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 1>think my wichipo is gonna agree with this, because like

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:15.080
<v Speaker 1>my intuition was, no, that's not right. They're just not

0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:17.880
<v Speaker 1>getting it right. They like, yes, like the human soul

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 1>part for sure. So then it continues. They often carry

0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:28.680
<v Speaker 1>off children and there, but they they will leave changeling substitutes.

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to tell everybody what changeling is, Well,

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:34.560
<v Speaker 1>they'll just leave.

0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:41.199
<v Speaker 2>It's like when they take something they so that you

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 2>don't think like, oh, maybe I didn't put it there.

0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:45.800
<v Speaker 2>They'll leave something in its place, like a calling card

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.760
<v Speaker 2>that says now game on, like now you have to

0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 2>play with me. You have to play with me to

0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 2>get this back.

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 1>That's how hilarious.

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.480
<v Speaker 2>That's how I think of it. I'm throwing down. They're

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 2>thrown down a gauntlet to play, right.

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:03.800
<v Speaker 1>They also carry off adults to fairyland, which resemble what

0:24:03.960 --> 0:24:07.680
<v Speaker 1>they say, which resembles pre Christian abodes of the dead

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 1>what that sentence means. But here's the interesting part. People

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 1>transported to fairy land cannot return if they eat or

0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 1>drink there. It's note if you get carried off, y'all.

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but think about it. Fairies are little. What are

0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:26.680
<v Speaker 2>they going to serve you that you're interested in? Right?

0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's totally fair. Like you can get a shot

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:34.160
<v Speaker 1>of something, you know, like here's a geos seed, here's

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:37.360
<v Speaker 1>a fairy cheese seed. Oh my god, we should start

0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a whole new line of chia seasons. It's call them

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:41.120
<v Speaker 1>fairy seeds and eat them.

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 2>But my point is, like, you know, if you're human,

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:46.240
<v Speaker 2>you get carried into fairy land, they're not gonna it's

0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be enticing to you like that. I'm gonna

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:50.880
<v Speaker 2>have to eat like a hole, you know, a whole

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 2>truckload of that to even taste it.

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Come on, right, Okay, I'm just telling this is what

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:57.879
<v Speaker 1>they're saying, this is what theyself me. Let me tell us.

0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 1>The Internet tells me fair in human lovers may marry,

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:08.880
<v Speaker 1>though only with restrictions whose violation ends the marriage and

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:12.440
<v Speaker 1>often the life of the human. That's why I said,

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:16.640
<v Speaker 1>That's why I said, fucking fairies, people do.

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Not do not be confused. It's not worth your life.

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 1>That's right, y'all. There's yeah, there's no Jdvans. You don't

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>need to do it with a sofa. You don't need

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:27.439
<v Speaker 1>to do it with a fairy. You've been out of

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:31.639
<v Speaker 1>the news, Brenda anyway, you look it up later. And

0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:35.000
<v Speaker 1>it also some female fairies are deadly to human lovers.

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Go girls make black widow sort of situations.

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So, Also, female fairies may tell fortunes, particularly prophesizing

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:51.040
<v Speaker 1>at birth and foretelling deaths. Internet says, what do you

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:51.680
<v Speaker 1>think about.

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:55.240
<v Speaker 2>That, Well, considering that they are black widow lovers think

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 2>that would be an easy they'd be a ringer.

0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I think so too. It's like the fairyland is truly

0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 1>where girls rule. This is what it sounds like to me.

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I love it. There's also there's apparently herbs that are

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:16.840
<v Speaker 1>potent against fairies. Do you know about that? One of

0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 1>them is Saint John's wart, and it's also it's called it. Okay,

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:25.040
<v Speaker 1>it's saying it's a John and it's a wart. I mean, honestly,

0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the name of it makes it frankly potent against me.

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting a no on that, Okay, horse shit. Okay,

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 1>what about ya o y A R R O W.

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:37.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting a no on that.

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So this is a bullshit part. So it Elsa

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 1>says hawthorn trees checking that one too. She's doing her

0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 1>little charley stuff, y'all.

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 2>It depends on it depends on the regional of the

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:52.919
<v Speaker 2>region of the fairy.

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, that's hilarious. Okay, a foxglove and grand cellar,

0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:01.879
<v Speaker 1>oh are also dear to them. Oh and if you

0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 1>abuse those trees or plants, it may bring retribution.

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:12.600
<v Speaker 2>So the fairies do have such a strong connection with

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:16.320
<v Speaker 2>herbs and plants in general. So often if you are

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:20.720
<v Speaker 2>working in a garden or you are, you know, harvesting

0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:27.360
<v Speaker 2>medicinal plants, you would make offerings, right, you would think

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 2>the plant and the fairies that helped it grow, so cool.

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I need to remind Susannah that because she's getting

0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:36.359
<v Speaker 1>ready to do that at our house. Okay, I just

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:38.200
<v Speaker 1>noticed the time. We're going to take a really quick

0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:41.120
<v Speaker 1>break and we're going to come back because I can't

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:42.960
<v Speaker 1>wait to hear what you have to say. Okay, y'all,

0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:52.320
<v Speaker 1>we'll be right back. Okay, y'all, we're back, and Brenda's

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 1>going to fix everything I just said. Except because it's

0:27:57.760 --> 0:27:59.440
<v Speaker 1>a girl's wonderland. I love that. I want to go

0:27:59.480 --> 0:27:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to Faeryland.

0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:03.440
<v Speaker 2>So all I was saying is I asked what Susanne

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 2>will be harvesting. And because it's not always clear what

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:10.679
<v Speaker 2>an offering is, and an offering can be anything that

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 2>is heartfelt. It can be something that you create. It

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:17.280
<v Speaker 2>can be food, it can be song, it can be

0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:20.520
<v Speaker 2>a dance, it can be a prayer. But something that's

0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:26.080
<v Speaker 2>very traditionally an offering is tobacco. Julie's doing an interpretive dance.

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I got a dance man.

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:34.439
<v Speaker 2>My friend Sianna plays a penny flute that she's always

0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:35.720
<v Speaker 2>making offerings. Today.

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I need to get Susanna flute.

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just it can be a little recorder, a little

0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:40.720
<v Speaker 2>penny for yeah.

0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 1>No, no, I'm going to get one off Amazon, like

0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:45.400
<v Speaker 1>literally after we finished recording. I'm getting I'm making a

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 1>note flute and she'll be like, what the hell are

0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you doing?

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be awesome.

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll be like, baby, this is your offer to the fairies.

0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Did keep the soil fertile and vibrant?

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 1>And yes? And I can sit and watching giggle in

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the corner that my girls.

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Play in a flute and helpfully dancing, and.

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll be dancing. Oh my god, I'll dance their.

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 2>A flute exactly. See how he dovetails together?

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:12.840
<v Speaker 1>So good.

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 2>But it creates such a lovely cycle, right, because you're

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:19.320
<v Speaker 2>receiving the benefits of the plant and they're receiving your blessings.

0:29:20.920 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 1>So now I think we've talked about this, but we've

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 1>been doing the show now. It was five years, so

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, long term memories get a little sketchy. But

0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I because of this topic and one of the things

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I remember so much about just getting to know you

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:41.080
<v Speaker 1>over the years has been kind of your your first

0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 1>experience with the other side, Like you were a little girl, right,

0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:48.480
<v Speaker 1>So why don't you tell us, tell us give us

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 1>your version of fairies from your experience.

0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:56.040
<v Speaker 2>So I'm I'm under the age of five, and we

0:29:56.080 --> 0:30:03.640
<v Speaker 2>are in a nineteen seventies station wagon, like the full

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Ford station wagon experience from the seventies. Google it. It's

0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:09.920
<v Speaker 2>and so we have this. We have the back seat

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 2>down and we have the way back seat down, and

0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:15.240
<v Speaker 2>so it's like we've got blankets and pillows and books

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:19.360
<v Speaker 2>and crayons and toys, and you know, it's like I

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:21.320
<v Speaker 2>thought I'd think of it like a moving campground in

0:30:21.360 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 2>the back, right, and is what's happening? And we of

0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:30.240
<v Speaker 2>course this was pre air conditioning, right, So the windows

0:30:30.240 --> 0:30:33.959
<v Speaker 2>are all down and we're driving from Wisconsin. We have

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 2>a family of five, Yeah, driving from Wisconsin to Texas

0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 2>in July, right, So it's just a nightmare. It's hot

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's crazy. And so we were ritsen around

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 2>in the back seat and we're going through Saint Louis

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:54.520
<v Speaker 2>or rush hour traffic, and my mom's navigating from the

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 2>passengers side with this fold out map and telling my

0:30:58.080 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 2>dad where to go, and and all of a sudden,

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:06.560
<v Speaker 2>my feather pillow breaks loose and there are feathers everywhere,

0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:10.600
<v Speaker 2>like it is everywhere, and it's swirling in the car. Right.

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 2>My dad can't see, and he's somehow he instinctally knows

0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 2>that it's my pillow, right, and starts yelling at me.

0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:23.000
<v Speaker 2>How do you know that? But the reason it's important

0:31:23.080 --> 0:31:27.600
<v Speaker 2>of the pillow breaking is because I couldn't stop giggling.

0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was the funniest thing that had ever

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 2>happened in my short life. Like I was just like,

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:33.400
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, this is the best thing ever. And

0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm inhaling feathers because I'm laughing so hard. And when

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:43.920
<v Speaker 2>the feathers cleared, and what I saw were these like

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 2>clear bubbles that I could play with and I could

0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:50.959
<v Speaker 2>move with my mind or I could move with my

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:54.719
<v Speaker 2>fingers before I could touch it, and it was like

0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:59.920
<v Speaker 2>these energy patterns that I was playing with. And someone said, oh,

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:01.880
<v Speaker 2>it's totally what the fairies would do. They would totally

0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:03.920
<v Speaker 2>break a pillow and then want to play with you.

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh, I love that. And you were so young, yeah,

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and how And that's actually what a perfect age, right,

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:14.800
<v Speaker 1>because you know, the all the movies that I mentioned,

0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:17.520
<v Speaker 1>most of them are animated movies, and like it's for children,

0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:21.080
<v Speaker 1>it's for the wonderment right of being a child, you know,

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you during my my beginning of my ghost

0:32:24.240 --> 0:32:28.600
<v Speaker 1>photography and still to this day, I have seen and

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you talked about bubbles, right, I've seen other photos and

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:36.440
<v Speaker 1>it's so funny to me because I've seen them and

0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:40.160
<v Speaker 1>really nice hotels where they just have whatever art they buy,

0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:43.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, and they'll have like if it's at nighttime

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 1>in the street lights. And sometimes when you see that

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 1>photograph you see little round bubbles, there's something inside of

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 1>every one of them. I have stood there at work

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:55.640
<v Speaker 1>meetings and I have brought executives, you know, with me.

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you guys see that in there? They're like, what

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.800
<v Speaker 1>is that? They'll have it there, Holy crap, and they're like,

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>nobody's probably ever noticed this. I said no, because nobody

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>notices the fairies the way they should.

0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:10.840
<v Speaker 1>They don't look the same either, by the way, they don't.

0:33:10.680 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 2>But they have a different charge than the rest of

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:14.160
<v Speaker 2>the background.

0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they do. I've seen little I've seen little elephants

0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and some of the bubbles.

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Not like all kinds of creatures.

0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Right, they can write, like you said, they.

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Can take different shapes and forms and yeah, and colors

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 2>and yeah. But these these were very playful, very joyful.

0:33:35.280 --> 0:33:37.880
<v Speaker 1>So let's redefine a word that I used in the

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:41.360
<v Speaker 1>beginning of this the definition that came from the people

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:44.640
<v Speaker 1>of the Inner Web, and they talk about it being methought,

0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 1>like it's it's a myth and it's just another dimension,

0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:52.680
<v Speaker 1>is what it is. It's not a myth. And if

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you experience things like this, you're not crazy. Obviously we

0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 1>say this all the time. If you do this, you're

0:33:58.160 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 1>not crazy. But it is it is a very real experience.

0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:06.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's the important part of this. Like,

0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:08.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, we talked about elves. You know, people in

0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Ireland they actually changed their their design of their highway

0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>system because of where the elves were very real to them. Right,

0:34:17.080 --> 0:34:21.600
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't make it where it's not. It's not untrue.

0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not a myth. It's real. Fairies to you were real. Yeah.

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:31.920
<v Speaker 2>And often like puppies and babies and kiddies will play

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 2>with things that we can't see, right, oh and a

0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:38.520
<v Speaker 2>lot of times that'll be uh, you know, just energy

0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:39.840
<v Speaker 2>patterns we can't see.

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I love that.

0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Or if you take a picture, sometimes you'll catch

0:34:43.760 --> 0:34:45.439
<v Speaker 2>those those globes of light.

0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I catch those little yeah, little fuckers all the time.

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And it's fun when you get when you because

0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:56.759
<v Speaker 2>I have a picture of my shitsu when she was

0:34:56.800 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 2>a puppy playing with those botts of light that I

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:01.239
<v Speaker 2>couldn't see when I took the picture. When I got that,

0:35:01.840 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 2>got it developed because it was back in the day.

0:35:04.640 --> 0:35:08.799
<v Speaker 1>So Maggie was you get Maggie's magical dog. Let's be honest,

0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:12.480
<v Speaker 1>because I took a picture for your house after it

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:16.040
<v Speaker 1>was her time to cross, and I'm like, girl, I

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:18.120
<v Speaker 1>think this is Maggie. You're like, oh my god, that's

0:35:18.160 --> 0:35:24.080
<v Speaker 1>my girl. She was most magical dog. So anyway, I

0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:27.120
<v Speaker 1>love these conversations. I hope that. I mean, I hope

0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:31.200
<v Speaker 1>we just changed this podcast to like lore and mythology

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:33.360
<v Speaker 1>because this would be It's just so much fun to

0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:36.279
<v Speaker 1>talk about it. It's so much fun, and it's a

0:35:36.320 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 1>part of our world, right it isn't. It's energetic, it's

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:40.279
<v Speaker 1>not just the mythical part.

0:35:40.719 --> 0:35:43.280
<v Speaker 2>And again I love that it goes back so many

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:45.080
<v Speaker 2>centuries and across the globe.

0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, me too.

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:47.880
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's just part of the human experience.

0:35:48.320 --> 0:35:50.480
<v Speaker 1>So yes, it is. Wait till we talk about Dragon Jall.

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:52.920
<v Speaker 1>That's coming up next.

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:56.720
