MYSTICAL ECSTASIES


Mystical ecstasies, a thought went through my mind, while I was reading a fairytale to my niece. Do fairies exist? Growing up, I remember reading, Enid Blyton's book of fairies, and was wondering, do all kids imagine a world inside them, a world full of tales and characters? And how little imaginations can create stories and questions.. Fairies (fay, faerie, fae) an oldest fable in the world, creates an innocence in the child's mind, and takes you into adulthood of losing that very essence of innocence. As we get older, these little stories, and tales loses it's grip somewhere in our minds. Sometimes just imagining the mystical, takes you on a mystical journey from here and beyond. I know it sounds funny and silly, to admit about it, but logically fairies have been in folktales and mythology for years. Every culture and language out there, has the imagination of it. It is believed fairies, possess an Etheric body, so it kind of makes you go HMMM.... If we really think about the enigmatic things existing in this world, it's quite interesting, and to be honest nothing in this world that's enigmatic has been proved or not proved to the uttermost, and yet we tend to live on those mystical imaginations and convince ourselves to live with hope and faith. Imagination is very important for mental growth, I call it the  "Vital signs" of Life.. It's been proved that Imaginative and Creative people have a healthier outlook in life than an average human being.
 Fairies appear as significant characters in William Shakespeare, A Midsummer's Night dream or
writer's such as Sir Walter Scott
and James Hogg were inspired by folklore that featured fairies, such as the Border Ballads. So as you can see there's no conclusive answer to fairies, but the faith is surely instilled. My niece brought back the fairytale innocence, and can't wait to read more books to her. And on the flip side, it has brought a child in me to go back to the world of fables.
