Фейри – понятие собирательное для огромного количества нечеловеческих существ, описываемых в мифологии различных народов. Эту лекцию мы решили посвятить попытке разобраться в том, что это такое и какие виды этих созданий существуют и активно коммуницируют с человеком. Первая часть лекции была посвящена нечисти – квазиразумным духам природы и городов. Мы говорили об особенностях этих существ, наличии и отсутствии их привязки к местам обитания, а также о технике безопасности при контакте с ними. После перерыва разговор пошел о ши – воплощенных фейри, с давних времени живущих бок о бок с людьми, но имеющих возможность переходить на тонкий план. Мы обсудили их историю, прежде всего в Европе, рассказали о трудностях, с которыми сталкиваются эти народы при контакте с людьми, а также поговорили об основных крупных расах: альвах, цвергах, гоблинах и троллях – и их отличительных признаках. 18+ Данная запись является частным мнением по философским вопросам и не предназначена для тех, чьи чувства могут быть оскорблены.
