The Realms of the Faerie

The Heavenly Realm
This is the Multiverse created by the Great Cosmic Mother. It is the realm of the great unknowns of existense, the place where the stars are born, exist and die.  It is in thegreat cosmos that Spirit becomes Material, and creates the underlying structures of field and form.

The Plains of the Heavenly Realm
These are the plains of the Tuatha de Danaan before they descended to Earth.  It is in Sen Magh where Dana gave birth to the Tuatha.  No mortal has ever been triumphant in achieving the Heavenly Plains.

The Plain of the Earth
The Heart Center of the Earth Plain is in Eire (Co. Meath, Ireland).  It has been know by different names through the Five Waves of Invasions and the sixth being the modern age.  This is where the Tuatha de Danann dwelt alongside the human children of Earth.

The Earth Plain (and in the Underworld) is where humans learn to live with and understand their physical being and environment.  This is where spiritual and psychological development occur through the experiences of our lives, and the choices we make.  Our consciousness of Earth, the Cosmos, the Directions, and our inner selves is all begun through being born into the Earth Realm.

The Realm of the Underworld
Here we find the mirror  balance of the Overworld or                   Earth Realm.  As above, so below.  What one sows, one reaps.  We learn to release the concerns of the ego and develop clarity of intension and purpose.  It is the inner work of the soul.  What is wrought in the Underworld is reflected back to us in kind, both within the Underworld Realm and in the mirror of the Earth Realm.
