To Catch Or Not to Catch One of the Fey Folk

If you are a believer in alternate realities and planes of existence, then you may have a belief in the Fey or what would be referred to as fairies. Even if you are not a believer in these creatures, then you may have heard the stories ranging from Tinker Bell in the famous story of Peter Pan to other books of that ilk that have long been a part of both literary history and folk tales pass from generation to generation. |
For those who believe the question of what to do about the Fey have surfaced in recent thought, albeit with a little tongue in cheek humor. There is even a kit on Amazon that purports to allow you to catch the Fey for inspection. Because of the interest there have been serious and not so serious questions about the capture of the Fey in forums, blogs and Q&A sites around the web.
Some contend that they capture is good natured and meant as a means to study or friendship. Others object that the capture of any living thing against its will can and will lead to reprisals from any intelligent creature. The Fey being magical in nature, if the texts and folklore are to be believed, can make life somewhat interesting for the purported capturer. Such abductions are often leading to such vengeance as missing keys, missing toys, scratched and noises to keep you awake at night and afraid…or so the objectors say.
All in all, when fantasy meets reality things can change. Even as the monster in the closet or under the bed are imaginary, so too could the imaginary creatures of the mind be slotted into the category of childhood fantasy. But how far our imaginations can take us is spelled out in our understanding of science when we believed that the world was flat and the sun revolved around the earth. So too could be our understanding of the Fey. We might be on the cusp of multidimensional revelation if we follow the Golden rule to both perceived beings and as yet unrevealed beings in our midst.
