Talk about the dead because you innumerable stories stories involving the food taboo people will be At the fairy banquet they walked by a fairy fort and they're invited inside because it's opened up this one day a year and they go inside and they're always and then they'll see somebody that they recognize And it's a dead friend or a dead neighbor and they're the one who says don't don't don't eat or drink this because you're going to be trapped here, but that sort of mode of of mechanism of of of Metamorphosis is something that took me a long time to wrap my head around
And so the way that Claude LeCouteau, former professor at the Sorbonne, described it, he just passed away this past November, but he writes my favorite UFO books because he never uses the word UFO, but it's just great stuff.
But he wrote a lot of books on household spirits and spirits of the land and such.
And he described the process as you have someone who is revered by the community, a chieftain or a soldier or a priest or priestess,
And then they're buried in a certain place.
And that place becomes revered as their burial spot.
But over time, as we are wont to do as a species, we sort of forget, we sort of treat those connections more loosely, and it becomes sort of a spirit of the place.
And from there, they sort of get syncretized with fairy beliefs as being these sort of spirits out in the wilderness.
We see this really clearly, actually, in some cultures, even in the more modern era.
Burriette shamans.
would be interred in one place and then later exhumed and then specifically buried in a new location to serve as the spirit of that place.
So this genus loci idea, which is very closely related to spirits, you know, that's a fairy glen, that's a fairy pond or whatever, these ideas sort of start to merge together.
Burial mounds and things like that?
Yeah, I mean, that's the other thing.
It's like so many of these...
sites that are associated with fairies um again i feel like i say it all the time but in western europe but arguably worldwide are our sepulchral sites they're sites that involve burials sure i mean the serpent mount in ohio they see all kinds of stuff over there yeah and and but thinking specifically to like um you know ireland and the british isles these burial mounds are unambiguously burial tumuli you know but they're also where the fairies are just so happen to be um they're uh
You know, there are many traditions that say that the dead live inside hills.
Not coincidentally, you know, that's where we put a lot of our underground alien bases in modern UFO mythology.
But there's a strong connection through that that even, you know, does extend, especially in my part of America, with the Cherokee.
There's a strong association between some of the burial tumuli and the tumuli down there, and the Nunyanahi, their fairy variant, one of their fairy variants.
