When I was a very young child I used to tell my mom all sorts of stories about fairies. I'd tell her how they changed the colours of the leaves and brought winter, and vivified all things in nature in their way. I was probably 6 years old at this time and my mother of course was astounded and proud of my vivid imagination. Little did she know I didn't invent these stories but on a nightly basis passed through a whirlpool in my mind only to break the surface of some pond in some other world where I was known and had friends. I don't recall their names or what they looked like but they were always there to greet me.

The fae played music for me once, I had been setting food out for them and made them an alter then one night I was lying in bed trying to sleep and I heard a short snippet of music it only lasted about 3 seconds but it was as though there was an orchestra in my bedroom it was that loud, i can't exactly describe the sound of the music but it was the most beautiful sound.

Love this video. Faeries are real! When you are in Ireland you understand it!

So I am a "Faerie Witch", non-wiccan. I work with the faer-folk, and in my experience they can be broken down into "clans/ "types"/ "Courts" even. The Sidhe, such as the Banshee, the Dullahan, and other faeries associated with death. The "elves", which are human like in height, and the "Little People" / "Wee Folk", which are your leprechauns and goblin-esque. Even then you have your domestic faeries, which as your Brownie / Hob-Goblin and such. - Though you bring up the Alchemic Elementals: Undines, Slyphs, Slalamanders and Gnomes. Those can be "faeries" but they come from Alchemy. - I'd love to chat if you have the time or interest still.

For me...having seen a few 'somethings' in a few woodlands in the British Isles or the mountains of Europe...I do sense that there is something else to this existence and that there are 'others' both diminutive and much taller than us in stature...And I do feel that they are as old as the earth...Another thing though is that the Tibetan concept of 'Tulpas' comes to mind, creatures or beings actually created via the energy of us thinking about or imagining them and over time this 'thought-energy- or 'conscious energy' crystalizes if you will into the being itself which can become mischievous or troublesome (or benign) once it breaks free of the one that created it and go about creating it's own life...There is a saying I remember that goes something like "Fairies are dyeing because less n less people believe in them" Hinting that they are as much a manifestation of our inner or conscious existence as they are of nature/physics/the cosmos itself, after all at the end of the day, it's all one thing from the cosmos to dna to the supernatural to beautiful music, or multiple dimensions, it's all one thing.

OMG, I just stumbled on this seven years old amazing video. I do believe in Faeries, and this is such a treat. Thank you, Jonny Enoch.

I used to make the faeries, in the hedge row tiny houses of rocks and moss... They dropped me cherries. They weren't ever mean to me. I think those who react in a startled fearful manner scare the tiny creatures! I've been called, "You poor thing!" I always thought of them as Guardian Angels waiting to be assigned a new Child to watch over!

I’m Irish......I’m descendant to the Okane,and O’Conner clan.They originate from North Antrum Ireland.

I 100% believe in fairy's. My husband (a brutally honest man) told me that him and his older brother seen a man fairy when they were kids about 6 and 9yrs old while outside playing. He said the fairy flew up to them, kind of tipped his hat, bowed then flew away. His brother told me the same exact story when I asked about it. Made me a believer.

W. B. Yeats who wrote "The Stolen Child" was fascinated by early Irish legends and the occult, including the widely held belief in changelings - babies that were secretly stolen by faeries and replaced with non-human creatures. In some versions, they were odd looking babies that only the mothers detected, and were actually very old faeries nearing their death. In other cases she might rescue her child from a sacred spring or well after some kind of test or ordeal - or if the changeling revealed itself by showing some ancient wisdom far beyond the child’s experience. Some people believed that human milk was necessary for faerie children to survive. In these cases the newborn human child would be secretly switched for a fairy baby to be suckled by the human mother and later switched, or simply taken back without warning. Some stories tell of changelings who forgot they were not human and proceeded to live human lives. Changelings who do not forget, returned to their fairy family, abruptly leaving the human family without warning after many years. The human child that was taken may often stay with the fairy family forever not knowing their true identities. There are historic reports of families feeling defeated to the fate of their changeling, leaving their infants near sacred groves or springs. Some modern folklorists believe that fairies were cultural memories of inhabitants of various regions in Europe who had been driven into hiding by invaders. They suggest changelings had actually occurred; the hiding native people would exchange their own sickly children for the healthy children of the occupying invader to ensure survival.

You can't help yourself but move your feet when that old boy's playing his whistle.

Back in the ‘70s I worked in an hotel in Frinton-on-Sea, there was talk of the hotel being haunted. The night porter claimed to have seen a ghostly figure of a woman in a fireplace, in the small 2 man lift there, scratched in the wood between floors was “Free Angela”. I myself heard a woman’s voice calling me by name, this was at a time when I knew for a fact that I was the only person in the hotel. I once enjoyed a motorcycle tour of Ireland, you couldn’t find a more friendly people anywhere. At one point we stayed in a B&B on a farm, the farmer called Michael Flahtherty insisted on driving us, at breakneck speed, to a nearby town where most pubs had wonderful music played by locals, all impromptu.

I am Portuguese, but I love Irland and its beautiful stories. It reminds me so much of where I grew up here. Beautiful video❤

These are our ancient gods reduced to the image of infantile children its a shame. Lest not forget the eternal ones. They're not gone they never were. Recognize them for who they are. The guardians of Éire.

When I was a little girl my dad and I came upon a circle of mushrooms. I was about to run into it when he grabbed me and told me never to ever enter a faery ring. And we hurried away from that spot! And we live in the midwest, USA. Doesn't matter where you are, don't mess with the other people!

I do believe in faeries! What a lovely film ❤️

Fantastic really good video i wish there was more 👍 🍀

I've always wanted to live in an old castle.

The fae are as real as you and me, and look like us in most ways, They like to mess about and have a good time in general, Never mock them Never ask them for anything, show the land respect and respect you shall receive from them. They know whats in your heart even if you don't. When your out in the countryside I guarantee your never alone so Respect is key.

Hi Jonny, A pity you didn't get to meet Eddie Linihan, when in County Clare. He is a great storyteller and THE expert in Fairies !

Faeries are the reason for my boyfriend always loosing something we can literary put something like keys somewhere and no one lives here but the two of us and the item gets moved💫✨they are little tricksters for sure✨🌸🌟❤

That was wonderful!

Fairies are like people, there are good and bad types. They are all doing what they can with the ever changing world we humans are doing/creating. As long you leave them alone and respect them, the majority of them will leave you alone and respect you too. Some are mischievous and will play games, but overall respect and care for their land/realm and they will do the same in return. They also seem to be protectors and guardians of the natural world, so keeping a garden tends to please them and they will stay neutral or protect you in return. I don't think all are good or bad. Respect them and you'll be alright. ... and for all that is holy, don't go around polluting or building roads on fairy sacred lands. Modern humans can be so arrogant and stupid to disrespect sacred lands. Sacred lands aren't just in the Americas, African nations or other places outside of Europe. Europe had indigenous nations too with sacred lands of their own, many of which are homes to sacred beings of other realms. There are so many sacred lands being removed on this planet, and yet we wonder why we have so many tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes that are ever more powerful than those of the past. I'm not saying this is the only reason, but there is possibly of being one of the reasons for Nature attacking with such forces growing stronger by the day.

Love the tone, ambience, and magic of the intro.

We believe in these people and have stories in New Zealand. Some believe there is a link to Ireland. We call them Tūrehu and Patupaiarehe. Fasinating history. My research has led me to this video. Thank you for your video.

I enjoy research and stories. Folklore. I'm A big Tolkien fan so I guess I'm not so different after all.

This was amazing! Thank you. Loved the flute music and the stories. Very insightfull

I too believe in fairies; another great video Jonny - THANK YOU!

SOO TRUE Your AMAZING

Ive seen a fairy with my own two eyes on my inferred servelience night cameras on my property and it was clear as day and I also saw orbs with faces in them. Fairies are as real as it gets and once I saw it with my own two eyes all bets were off. I was a believer. I live in the Cascades of Washington state 30 miles east of Seattle and so let it be known that these creatures live in all forests. Elementals. Btw... I was sober and watched the Fairy for over 20 minutes. Wings and hair, long arms and legs. Mind blowing.

" no, I don't believe in fairies...but I'm not touching that" lol, love it

YES THEY ARE REAL.

Such beautiful music :)

This is a fascinating video, thank you for creating it, Jonny. I would love to learn more about this subject.

We have the same phenomenon here in the U.S. The man that went missing in front of his family in Gallatin, Tenn in the1800's. The Wyoming Mummies, 15"-3' tall, you can see their bodies, this is documented. The missing people from all of the State parks, see David P investigation on this, here and across the world. Fairies and such are across the world. I live around so called fairy forts in Middle Tennessee. It is peaceful quiet and a surreal feeling while you are there, we leave no trace when we travel these areas, and are respectful. We have fools holding seance and doing stupid thing in and around these areas and they bring on mental illness and curses on themselves their families and others. They call spirits into a good place which causes turmoil in this world and theirs, it is TRASH that does this!! Only a few of us see and know what they are, and where they are. If you believe in The Most High, you do well to leave these thing alone. I HAVE SEEN, HEARD and FELT!! And I believe.

love this video! Well done!

Love this one thank you ❤️

we have a fairy fort on our land... You don't want to be there at dawn or certainly not dusk.I was one night we were loading sheep , I was alone waiting longer than I should have been. Its a very strange place, the sea mist covers it often ,it did then too.You couldn't see but a few feet in front of you. The sheep were silent , only the breeze rustling old trees that lay plucked on the borders of that strange place , and the wind was very cold and damp. Never forget the feeling that came over me that evening I felt as if I was with someone ,not a friend nor enemy but something observing me. Imagination is a funny thing, but believing such things is no less imagination than our new Abrahamic blow ins.

Love the supernatural class Thanks eddwords

Brilliant. Well done brother.

oh Fairies are real alright!.. be careful, their job is to trick you they cant help it. Be very respectful to them and never ever ask them for favours! that always ends badly.

I've experienced Fae or fairy I've had the invisible cobweb I've seen n heard them too usually to announce good things they're so beautiful bless them but I've also seen the washer woman and the hellhound n those were woefully painful experiences that followed yea I believe I believe n mine believe because we are smart enough to know that it's not what people just physically see that's out there no sit there's a lot more out there than meets the eye

Love this ...

This is amazing 😍 been searching for this video every where. Thank you so much for sharing this. I would love to visit place. The flute wss absolutely beautiful. Like a dream I once heard in a lullaby 💙

I believe in Faeries and Love them, I descend from the Hill of Tara

I have had several experiences with the Good People. I don't talk about them much any more as things are best left alone. We can't see them, we can't protect ourselves from them, If you cross them you will pay a price. Sean Ryan was not at his best, I feel he was, passing time with you. He did not tell you about the little girls that he and his daughter have seen. He did not tell you about the Elemental Spirit that inhabits the castle. Nor did he mention that one brother killed his own brother ( a Priest ) for starting mass with out him. That was in the bloody chapel. The Ban-shee is the most common known Faerie. She appears in and around the time of a death in the family, it Can be any family and she can appear as an old woman. She might appear as a Raven or Crow tapping on the window , flies off then returns again and again. Some people have told me they hear knocking on the walls of the house, it is loud and rattles windows. 3 knocks, then later 3 knocks, and so on. She does not bring death she just announces it so you will be prepared. Pity you did not talk to Eddie Lenahan Co Clare , he has 10's of thousands of stories from the old people of Ireland. He is on KZfaq check him out and he will give you the warnings and the stories. Go raibh mait agat.. I have so much more but !!

Excellent!!

metaphysicalsource great share thank you.

I was Faerie touched when I was younger. I am a little odd. I have a whirl on my hairline above my right eye. It gives me momentary foresight. It allows me to know a lie. It also calms vicious animals and makes wild animals almost not scared. For all that it has done I am grateful. However if it would bring me money that would be wonderful.

We Filipinos believe on these Nature Peoples (Fairies, Elf and etc.) usually they lives on wooded area or lives in a old tree and some of them lives in a mount that look like termites mount. So when you walk in a wooded area or releave yourself Make sure you talk to the Wooded area that you are asking permission to cross thier area or releaving yourself. So that you don't harm them or pee on them. Or they will curse you and you will get very sick and we usually go to Albulario for healing.

While else here is OBSESSED with learning about the fae?!🤗

Storytelling - especially tall tale telling - is a characteristic of the Irish people. No doubt much of their folklore is fanciful superstition... but not all. Gaelic blood seems to have a psychic component - a predisposition for accessing the 'otherness' and a readiness to go with flights of imagination that often feel more real than what we are fond of calling 'reality'. We hear stories from believers in fairies who have never seen one and some who would not want to. So, being for the most part Irish, have I ever seen one? Yes. I have - on a late summer morning in Cornwall. How real - how solidly three dimensional was it? Good question. The word that springs to mind is 'smudged' - like a wet watercolour brushed by a careless hand as though part in this world and part in another but with a forceful presence that was anything but joyful. I drove back down the narrow country lane to see it again but it had gone leaving me with a memory that persists to this day - decades later - when all other memories of that holiday have faded.

One thing I've learned about the gentry from experience is you can't trust their size. Their forms based on what they want you to see. Definitely not the same nature spirits you see in media.

I love this man who shut down all the New Age rhetoric about 'faeries'. It has very little to do with Ireland, the Irish traditions and the Irish experience of na daoine sidhe. Nowadays people just keep mixing up the different culture's stories and they want to make things very shallow and romanticise it. Have respect for the others, don't try to learn about them through a perspective of Wicca or any of that stuff.

Great Video ! \m/ Cheers from Norway!

For some of us it's not a matter of belief, but a factor in life to be kept in mind. It's possible to arrive at that destination, as I've done so myself

Perhaps the ideas about faeries change from one region to another. I know an Irish person who told me that leprechauns were something that Americans made up. She talked instead of 'little people'.

thankyou for your presentation. Faeries are indeed real. They are not human, they are themselves. They are found everywhere in nature. I think that there are some places that are more special than most, and a lot of these places are in Ireland Iceland and Scotland. A sort of; portal places. That is why it is good to learn about them in these places. Sometimes not good to seek them out. Just let them be. If they want to , they can come to you. You may, or may not like that though.

O yeah. My own Irish mother knew several of them over a 30 year period. They are very real.

I love all the Good People a lot and I am happy I found out about them and can learn about them 💘💝💖💗💓💞💕💌❣❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤💟

The Brazen Head pub are pretty good at telling Fairy tales, themselves. The pub knows that the oldest pub in Ireland, and the World, is Sean's Bar in Athlone, but insists that the Brazen Head is the oldest pub in Ireland.

I've seen a faerie, only once though. The weird thing is that it doesn't look like anything any of the storytellers described. The one I saw came from a spirit worker's aura, which became visible to me suddenly while she was giving a lecture, and it was the same green color as her aura. There was no visible body (like say, a little person) but rather it was as if it was green colored energy that was more or less in the shape of a butterfly. It fluttered about for a moment, came towards me, but disappeared before touching me. It was a really odd experience, and while it was my first time seeing a faerie, it was only my second time seeing a spirit. The world is a weird place.

The Stolen Child (excerpt) by W. B. Yeats Where the wandering water gushes, From the hills above *Glen-Car, Into pools among the rushes, That scarce could bathe a star. We seek for slumbering trout, And whispering in their ears, We give them evil dreams. Leaning softly out from ferns, That drop their tears of dew, On the young streams. Come, Oh human child! To the woods and waters wild, With a fairy hand in hand. For the world's more full of weeping, Than you can understand. *Glencar Lake (Lock Ghleann A’ Chairthe) is located north of Sligo in County Leitrim. Fed by Glencar Waterfall, it remains pristine and full of brown trout to this day. There are also remains of two early crannogs (man-made) island forts.). In the 6th century, Saint Osnat, the sister of Saint Molaise of Devenish, founded a church here. Devenish Island is located in County Fermanagh. “ Ghlean A’ Charthe” is Irish for “glen” or “valley of the rock”. This may have referred to a megalithic structure located near where the church of St. Osnat was first built. In 1886 when Yeats just 20 he wrote this poem while visiting Glencar.

Perhaps the music lures us into the Faire realm

St. Patrick, Pray For Us 🕊☘🇮🇪🇻🇦

So heres the deal, i grew up Christian. Ive struggled for about 4 months now with this. It started with a dream I had. I must preface, i had never had any interest in "paganism" before this dream. That is nearly zero research aside from school when we read the greek myths. So i have this dream, its a couple getting "married" or bound at an alter. They had a priestess saying words over them. Dont remember what was said honestly. As it were, I was observing this as an outsider. Its a sudden snap to the next portion of this dream and the husband is at the end of a long stone walkway, overlooking these magnificent green and golden hills. He kneels down to a basket filled with hay. I view his wife at the end of this walkway, she is looking at him, slowly approaching. He pulls out of this hay filled basket a fruit or vegetable of some sort. He holds it up to her and as soon as she sees it she has one golden earring drop out of her ear. It lands on the stone path with an echoing thud. The skies turn a reddish grey hue and i hear a voice. At first its a low hum. I hear, Og...og...og. it gets louder and louder. I gaze upon the hills and see an army coming down into this valley. Over the horizon a great beast. He is black. Smoldering almost. One great eye. Fiery, yellow eye. I hear a roar come from the opposing side of this valley, an opposing army im assuming. They are both rushing into this valley to do battle i assume. Then i wake up. When i woke, i had such an uneasy feeling. As if i had experienced this before, but had no memory of it. I start doing some research on the "Og" i heard in my dreams. And come up with this God Ogham (sp?) And a Balor a one eyed beast or God of some sort. This has shaken my faith to its core. As i have absolutely zero experience with these things (promise). So here i am. Trying to figure these things out. Perhaps someone can help? It would be mich appreciated.

Jonny, I've been watching your older videos and you have such a knack for interviewing. Great work. I love the topic of fairies, and I recognize the close similarities between fairy abduction and UFO or other entity abduction ( because I guess we can't be sure if these are actually aliens we are encountering). I've recently been reading Stage Of Time, by Mathew LaCroix; and he refers to the Emerald Tablets in his research as you know, and Thoth (great information!). My point is, he describes the Annunaki as concurring dimensional travel and even death. These Annunaki can reincarnate and live among us, etc. * Not sci-fi! * I love that you addressed this connection. I think that you must have a pretty global understanding of this stuff to being to SEE the bigger picture and unfortunately, the kind folks that your interviewed are singularly focused on Ireland folklore and, only on their own interpretation of the folklore with no other ideas aloud- so to speak. But even if they don't agree with the folklore, their personal belief is where they build their wall. A quote from the book about the Annunaki, in the Stage Of Time is, "They were the keepers of time and knowledge". With that said, is it so far-fetched to believe that there are other entities that exist between dimensions? Great classic content! 😊

If the author of this video is interested. Another good spot would be the Appalchian mountains. It's part of the Irish mountain range and split apart when the continents shifted. There are stories of fairies here as well. I'm of the opinion that there just as many here. But there's more wilderness so they aren't seen as often.

Once, long ago, in class I pronounced "mischievous" as "mis-chee-vee-ous" - as the narrator did in this film - and the teacher said, "No. It is never to be pronounced that way. Say 'MIS-CHIV-US.' *That* is correct." From that day to this, I cannot hear the wrong pronunciation with an easy mind, my dears.

The comment about hearing a crowd of people - I remember this. .

Thank you

I lost count of the number of times he said "little people" AFTER the very first guy told him "don't say little people ... they're not little ... tinkerbell, pffft." There were a lot of flaws in the filmmaking and narration. Should have stuck to letting the knowledgeable locals simply tell what they know, and not intercut lame footage of "battling" mediaeval knights, etc. I really wanted to like this, but couldn't.

Interesting video. You summarize a lot of the main themes as to where they came from and who they are. The fact that many say they were the Tuath De Dannan who went to the otherworld when the Fir Bolg arrived is a theme I find very interesting in my own research. I'm not a fan of the fallen-angel theory because across the world, the fallen angels always pretend to be the characters they are not. It is a rich an complex story that interweaves with the legends of Atlantis, Egypt, Scandinavia and Sumeria. Very cool subject. We will be visiting some faerie forts in the near future to shoot one of our podcasts and get in some mediation and exercise. Should be great craic. Maybe we'll meet one for an interview and he can set us straight! ;-)

The gnomes have learned a new way to say...ho0000oooraaAAaaayyyy.

Nice.

I gave gifts to the Fae in our local forest and we noticed white feathers covering the forest floor. When we returned home, our front garden was also covered in the same kind of feathers. A few says later I crashed my car so decided to avoid playing with the Fae as I've heard they can be easily offended and often bring bad luck.

They're basically the same as the djinn;free willed interdimensional beings,who can do both acts of evil and good.

Saw one in my back yard up in a tree, Washington State.

Wonder what the faries think about the destruction of Eire.

This sounds really way to complicated! They live where they live! I know they love Lilly of the Valleys! They must give off sweet dew. I replanted some in the hedge's shadows and that's where they loved being. I'd mist the little bells and they'd seem to listen to them as if they were ringing...

Love your documentary i love watching it over and over

Hey,I’m Michael Kane,in Fl.Im American,with Irish Ancestory.They were from North Antrim.They came over after the Potatoe Famine.How ya been?/

❤️

If Sean was taught that song by the Faery then alot of people have had that fortune as well including some Irish punk bands lol. It's an old tune. No disrespect. I just know the Irish love to spice up a tale.

25:50 right side of screen, orb floating

Weird, there's an envelope containing some items I need to open and distribute, I've been putting it off and was thinking about it not 25 seconds before clicking on this video. Jonny Enoch is the name on the envelope.

I have often wondered about the clothes knomes or fairies would wear. Would they have a way to make clothes with small needles? Would they have some kind of factory to make them. Its hard for me to conceive how they would do that. That i do not understand.

Can't say I've ever heard Buddleia pronounced like that lol. Nice video though 👍

Why does he continuously use the term little people when it was established at the beginning that that is not a respectful way to refer to them?

Dear Mr. Enoch, Most people say there are only five families with the benefit of a Banshee, as in the Readers Digest Folklore, Muths and Legends encyclopedia. Would please ask Mr. Ryan who the seven families are?

Wow you are zhe first person in years that I have heard pronounce Mischievous correctly. ...its never ever been Mis Cheev ee us but just plain Mischif us...loved the video I'm Scottish and very into our fokelore and we have plenty but maybe not so many believers anymore. I come from Aberdeenshire/Morayshire and we have the highest concentration of stone circles anywhere. Personally I believe that there are other entities that inhabit certain places and that some are 'nicer' than others. I think I will sub because I really enjoyed this xx

OOO-GAM!!! lol

Why do you keep saying " little people " when told they do not like that?

Thousands of years ago at the end of an age and the beginning of the Kali-Yuga, these faeries left our world; as depicted by the elves in the Lord of the Rings who left middle earth at the end of an age. This is the age where our hearts are like metal and our minds like fire. These faeries are nature spirits; personifications of the trees, the rivers, lakes, plants, flowers. It was a more beautiful world. Herbs were also more effective. Ancient people communed with these spirits and the shamans learned from them, giving them various knowledge. Such an example is when the nature spirits gave the teachings of how to make Ayahuasca. And now we face Sauron and his so-called New World Order. His influence stretches to all nations. He has bribed the entire world. He gave the rings to all the kings of this world. It's all corrupt. Who then will save this world? We seem to be waiting for a savior... But who is this simple man who bares all the sin and suffering of his people without hesitation? Who will take the one ring; that thing that lives within us all - that which represents all materialistic power and ego, to destroy it from whence it came? Is it you? Because it 'aint Jesus. Divine Blessings~

i think its sad no one takes this subject serious im kinda new to all this fairy folk stuff im trying to learn but alot people are joking about it

My buddy here in the USA can find four leaf clovers like no other he just looks an finds them I can’t believe it and he has frozen them In water to show our friends 🤦‍♂️I never can see one

.....mushrooms🍄🍄🍄.....

omfg lep castle, 3 full cartloads full of human skeletons of many dozens of people were taken out of the houbliet the pit they used to throw people in that was right there you should have asked him about it

Those chocolate coins at 17:00 look delicious! Great video though...

Is it just me, or were a lot of the people he talked too kind of stand offish with him lol
