A young woman lay in childbed. In the 1600s in Scotland, that was a very dangerous place to be. So many women died giving birth and often their babies died with them. Tragically, that’s what happened to this young woman. She passed away. Her weeping husband buried the wife he loved and tried to go on with his life. But two years later, something happened that was so shocking it entered the annals of folklore history. One day, the young woman who had died returned alive to their home.
The story she told was utterly amazing. She said that while she had been lying in childbed, beings had come and taken her away. In the bed, they had placed a living image of her which had died and been buried. Needless to say, her husband was absolutely stunned. He knew what he had buried. Over and over, he questioned her about her history. Finally, he was convinced that this really was his wife. But where had she been for those two years? Her memory was vague. All she knew was that she had been taken to what she called a spacious house. It was full of light, but there were no lamps in it or other sources of illumination. She didn’t know what had been done to her there. The whole time her vision had been very dim and her mind in a fog. She could hardly see or clearly perceive anything. Then one day she had touched some kind of liquid and put it in one of her eyes. Instantly, she began to see from that eye. Realizing what she had done, the beings came quickly and blinded that eye. Not long after, she had found herself walking back home. Where was the child that was about to be born two years ago? Unknown. Who had kidnapped her? They went by many names and such beings came in many forms, but in Scotland in the 1600s they were called fairies.
What a bizarre story. Obviously, it was just a fantastic tale buried in the folklore of old Scotland, right? But that isn’t why it was recorded for us to read. The account is in one of the most important books ever written about ancient Scottish beliefs. The title is The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies and the author was a man named Robert Kirk. Born in 1644, Kirk, was a Gaelic scholar who received a master’s degree at St. Andrews. He became a pastor at a local parish, where he continued his scholarly work. He was involved in the first translation of the Bible into the Gaelic language. The Commonwealth is filled with supernatural accounts given to him by people that he knew personally or that came from other reliable eyewitnesses. He wasn’t collecting them as some kind of early ethnologist. He collected them to convince the increasingly skeptical world of the 17 th century that the supernatural was very real. Frightening things were happening to real people. There was an unseen world out of which came beings that interacted with humans often in terrifying ways. Robert Kirk, an extremely intelligent man, believed that the story I just told you actually happened because he had talked to eyewitnesses. Very likely today, we would call the experience an Alien Abduction. Kirk died at just 47 years old before his book was published. It has come down to us as a classic in its field about what has been called the Fairy Faith.
To us, fairies are works of cute fantasy. We have been programmed to think this way by Walt Disney and others. But it was not always so. If you read the original Grimm’s Fairy Tales, they are truly grim and frightening. They have been sanitized and sweetened. In our bright electrical cities, we have lost touch with the World of the Night that our ancestors knew. For many of them in the British Isles and Europe, fairies represented deep fear. Nowhere is this clearer than in their great fear of the Changeling, that fairies could steal your child away and leave an evil substitute. What did they think was one purpose for this Crossbreeding, the creation of human fairy hybrids. To modern minds that sounds absolutely ridiculous. But perhaps we should consider a few things. Because our ancestors did not have modern education that doesn’t mean they were fools. Just as with people today, they had terrifying experiences that they could not explain. From these grew stories that placed those experiences into an established cultural context. All of it caused the exponential growth of fear. Which was a major reason for the phenomena in the first place. Such manifestations have been reported down through all of history and many of them are strikingly similar.
One student of the phenomena, Boze Herrington, noted a number of similarities between fairy and alien experiences: Both involve Little People. Those who saw fairies reported that they had light changeable bodies. Modern alien reports are filled with descriptions of small, mysterious beings that can pass through walls. Modern so-called aliens travel in what are thought to be space crafts. Those who believed in the Fairy Faith described burning chariots that flew through the air and could take people away. In 1768 while on a trip, the poet Wolfgang von Goethe described seeing bright hovering lights in the sky that he called a pandemonium of will-o-wisps. The same kind of hovering lights were reported in medieval times and are reported around the world today. What are these beings doing in our world? One thing they have been doing is clear. In both modern and olden times, they have shown an overriding interest in sex and reproductive activity. In his book, Robert Kirk states, and I quote: “Women are yet alive who tell they were taken away when in child-bed to nurse faerie children. When the child is weaned, the nurse dies or is conveyed back.”
In modern abduction reports, women tell of being subjected to invasive reproductive medical procedures or being forced to have sex and bear hybrid children which are taken from them early in the pregnancy. We’re going to talk much more about abductions in future essays. During almost all modern encounters, people report missing time. They think only a few minutes have passed but discover it has been hours. The same kind of missing time was reported during fairy encounters. Whole days and sometimes years would pass without the individual being aware of it. Those who met fairies described long-term after-effects. While in some cases, a person might receive positive gifts from such manifestations, there was always a catch. The individual wound up spending his life focusing on them, trying to please them with gifts. A definite form of worship. After some fairy encounters, people reported madness, warts, blindness, and serious skin disease. Serious physical problems are often reported from so-called alien encounters today.
Modern encounters often cause paralysis. The complete loss of physical control is a common phenomenon. Victims of fairy manifestations reported what they called Fairy Stroke. In medieval times, people found what they called faerie rings in the woods and fields where these beings supposedly danced. In one purported UFO landing site shrubbery had been set on fire and sand fused together. In all experiences whether ancient or modern, strange behavior has been exhibited by these beings. Both so-called fairies and so-called aliens have done odd, disorienting things to those who meet them. Astrophysicist Jacque Vallee, who has researched the phenomena for decades and has written several books about it, believes that all the encounters throughout history to the present time are from the same source and are designed to shatter old belief systems in preparation for what he calls a shift in human consciousness. His seminal book which I have mentioned before, Passport to Magonia, catalogs a long history of strange occurrences over thousands of years.
In spite of our cartoonish 21 st century view, the medieval etymology of the word fairy is the same as the word demon. In medieval use, they are synonyms. There are two other terms that were considered synonyms with fairy. They are incubus and succubus, male and female demons obsessed with sexual predation. In fact, there is a strange through-line of sexual predation in many contact stories both past and present.
In the Middle Ages in England and Europe, there was a common understanding that fairy incubi and succubae were dangerous sexual predators. Stories about them abound. This one is found in a book by Richard Firth Green entitled, Elf Queens and Holy Friars, Fairy Beliefs and the Medieval Church. I quote: “A certain girl, the daughter of Nicholas of Nevenon of Inglethorp in Norfolk in the diocese of Norwich, has been for five years solicited by a certain incubus demon as was believed. He promised her many and varied gifts if she would allow him to sleep with her, but she, utterly refusing and recoiling from him and defending her body with the sign of the Cross, remained still unharmed despite many vexations. Also, on one occasion, the wicked spirit led her into a certain beautiful place where she saw many wonderful things, among them an ornate table supplied with many varieties of delicious dishes, which he invited her to eat. She was terrified however and invoked God’s aid by crossing herself in her usual way, by which she remained free of these illusions.” There are many such stories in the records of that period. And many don’t have positive endings. It’s important to note that these stories were not told simply as fantastical tales for entertainment. They were told by witnesses and presented as examples of the common spiritual battles being fought by real people of that day. Down through history right up to the present, there are thousands of stories of supernatural sexual assaults.
In Greek mythology, the being that was worshipped as Zeus, the so-called father god, was a serial rapist. A typical story: One day, Zeus, feeling rather lusty, turned himself into a swan and came to Leda the wife of King Tyndareus. Zeus begged protection from Leda because he claimed an eagle was pursuing him. When she brought him in to protect him, Zeus attacked her. This father god did not limit his assaults to women. He enjoyed an occasional young male such as a young man named Ganymede. To overcome him, he became an eagle. After that he took Ganymede to Mt. Olympus to be his cupbearer and lover. Surprisingly, his wife did not appreciate this household addition and voiced her discontent. Zeus was not the only deified rapist. Almost the entire Greek pantheon enjoyed seduced or forced sex with vulnerable humans. Now, clearly, these are myths. But I contend that within all myths there are seeds of ancient memories. Could it be true that in the distant past right up to the present, powerful, supernatural beings have made vulnerable humans their sexual slaves even making them bear hybrid children? That’s ridiculous, totally impossible, right? Perhaps not. In the future, we’re going to look much more deeply into the evidence for such predation and how it may relate to a strange story in Genesis chapter 6 of the Old Testament.
Throughout history, supernatural sexual predation has been codified into religion taking the form of temple prostitution. And this isn’t something of the past. Right now, the clearest example of this horror is in the infamous system of temple prostitution found in India. The practice is called the Devadasi System. Devadasi is a Sanskrit word that literally translates as the female slaves of god. Going back many hundreds of years, at the start, Devadasis were revered as highly skilled, artistic and literate prostitutes. But all such perversion leads to utter degradation. Today Devadasis are poor women and children of the lowest class. Ultimately, what happens to them? They cannot marry as they are married to the deity and by the time they reach 40–45 years old, men don’t want them anymore. They become weak and fall ill, many contract HIV/AIDS and die.
The Devadasi system was finally outlawed in all parts of India by 1988, but that hasn’t stopped it. Every year, thousands of young girls between the ages of five and ten are dedicated to the Goddess Yeellamma. This goddess, so the story goes, started out as a human princess who married a ruSHEE, a very enlightened man. She became a goddess after her son beheaded her at the order of her enraged and jealous husband, the young man’s father. All she had done was think a single, lustful thought and begged for his forgiveness. This enlightened rushee murdered several of their other uncooperative children who refused to kill their mother, before he got their son to behead her with his ax. Now she is considered by those who worship her to be mother of the universe. It is a story of utter female degradation that has been deified. How sickeningly evil and ironic. Yellamma, known for her purity and fidelity before being murdered, is the entity to whom little girls are offered as prostitutes.
To quote one study, the primary reason why families send their young daughters to be Devadasis is religious. Underprivileged people believe that consigning their daughters to be temple prostitutes will bring blessings from the gods to their family. They will be rid of poverty and their status will improve in society. Being married to a god, their daughter will not be ill-treated as lower-class. What satanic lies. The national commission for women in India reports that there are more than 400,000 Devadasis in that country today. Where did this hellish system originate? All religious rites that are performed in India began because beings that were considered gods required them. It is clear from records across many cultures that these beings get great pleasure from the sexual degradation of humans, especially women and children.
Whether they appeared as the “gods” of ancient paganism, the ancestors, star beings, totem animals, Burmese evil spirits called Nats, fairies, trolls, demons, supernatural hags, monstrous creatures, aliens or in thousands of other forms, I propose that they have all been different manifestations of the same beings. From ancient times to the present, stories about them abound. Certainly, all of the stories do not represent actual experiences. But that doesn’t matter. Out of actual experiences thousands of stories grow. These culture specific stories are planted for a purpose and they all point in one direction.
Three thoughts: First, we are not alone. Whether we choose to believe it or not, around us is an invisible world populated by a vast number of sentient beings who are not our friends. Second, as I have said before, based on millennia of dark activities, their goal is to dominate us and focus our worship on themselves. What do I mean by worship? They want us to honor and obey them. At times, these beings appear friendly and concerned for us. Believers in the Fairy Faith sometimes told delightful stories about fairy meetings. Such entities, both in the past and present, may even give what appear to be wonderful gifts, such as physical healings. We’ll talk about all of that in the future. But those gifts come at a steep price. To receive them, we humans must do as we are told. Beyond all else, these beings attempt to exert control through fear. Third, none of their manifestations are random. All have a larger purpose.
Along with Jacque Vallee, I believe that for thousands of years these entities have been working toward a worldwide shift in human consciousness that will give them far greater control. I believe that shift has begun. Why do they want a massive change in human consciousness? Because God is at war against them and they know that the final confrontation is not far away. This shift will center on a great delusion that will be presented as incontrovertible fact and proven through overwhelming personal experiences. The nature of that delusion will be the subject of a future episode. Now, I’m not a prophet. I’m only a storyteller. But stories rule the world. When you see the same lying stories presented over and over again in different cultural contexts, as you see cultures congealing into a unified world culture as is happening today, that should tell you about the great lying story that is yet to come.
But in the middle of the growing darkness, I want to underscore the most important fact that you will ever hear. The name of Jesus Christ and the symbol of His cross, which represents His death and resurrection, have the greatest power over all the manifestations of evil beings. Why? Because in the sacrifice of His life for us, to save us from our sins and give us eternal life, he also destroyed the foundation of their dark kingdom. It has been crumbling ever since. They know that their days are numbered and their desperation is increasing. That’s the reason that their manifestations will continue to increase. Now the most important question you will ever hear? Do you belong to Jesus the Eternal King or to them? There is no middle ground.
