Fey, And Feitian

The Chinese have this idea about 'Feitian' - the flying fairies.

Yet, their actual descriptions are exactly the same as European stories about these beings.

Although even the words and names used for them - 'Fey' and 'Fei-tiwa'an' are very similar, seemingly, the Chinese word means 'flying' devas, whereas the European 'Fey' implies that they have fair skin.

Fairies like mallow flowers.

Even so, these are basically the same descriptions that the Chinese have as well, for these creatures: fair-skinned, able to fly, light, lithesome, slender, able to perform all kinds of magic. In the Chinese classics 'Feitian' are said to be exquisitely beautiful, so much so that they hide their faces from Mankind, usually, in order not to shock them.

As I have said many times here before, these are the same beings - and which are not of the human species albeit they are humanoid, and capable of interacting fully with humans - as described by Homer as the means by which Odysseus was able to be taken back to his home islands.

The Estonians have a rich culture of witchcraft and nature worship, and there are 'fairy tales' there about how some fairies in fact settled and inter-mingled with the local people. 

The singer Kerli has quite a few videos around in which she discusses some of her own practices that are intended by her to 'get back into her own native culture and traditions.'

Estonian cuisine is typically fairy food.

Typically, suggestions are raised here and elsewhere often, regarding whether or not these ancient traditional cultural narrative artifacts are only the product of an individual's personal internal, maybe, subconsciousness, or complex imaginings.

But there is a secret to fairies, and it is this - as soon as you subject them to human words and language - unless you are a very very special person, and there is some grand reason why they are allowing you to converse and engage and interact on a human-istic level, they will vanish from view and from obvious influence.

In the Persian culture there is an idea about 'master of fairies' (Peri-Khan) but I dispute that there can be such people.

When a human comes into the purview of a fairy, a real one, they will be overcome with a kind of drunkenness, although not from wine or alcohol or any other substance.

The Chinese also say this, and they imply it perfectly in their descriptions when they maintain 'Feitian' possess a certain 'aromatic mist' around them which overcomes the human.

To fully understand, that is, to actually be in touch with a fairy, one should refrain from doing what most people do, which is to read things like the Black Books (of Jung) and rather read the Red Book instead (Kerli also talks about this). For, as I have just now already said, immediately that a person seeks to 'explain' or 'describe' what is going on, the fairy departs.

I could have posted some early music by Kerli to show how this operates, and post it side-by-side with later videos when she has begun to consciously process what has gone on.

But here is, if anything, a better example from Gareth Emery. Here he has taken some African sansa 'thumb piano' music, and transcribed it into the EDM idiom.
