Many of us, especially in these times, sense a longing for a world that seems close, but not quite here. The innocent freedom of nature calls to something in us. We sense that the Earth is alive and conscious, and that we can cooperate with it. There are moments when we glimpse the possibility of living in flow, as if dancing or singing ourselves into being. Is this possible or an impractical dream?
The Sidhe (a Gaelic word pronounced ‘shee’) are a living reality and not just mythical creatures. They are part of the subtle realms and even closer to us than angels, devas and nature spirits. They figure prominently in the myths of many world cultures, such as Scandinavian ones (where they were called the ‘huldra’).
Yet for centuries people have dismissed the ancient stories of the Sidhe and considered them inventions of human imagination. In our time, the underlying sense of wild harmony and freedom that the Sidhe realm brings can seem buried under the pressures of a modern vision of the ‘real world’. But some among the Sidhe are reaching out to connect with us, reminding us of a shared past and fractured wholeness in the challenged world of today. Their offer is to help us reclaim our lost wildness and become dancers in living wholeness.
