Why Goblins/ The Goblin Trader.
At one time some people believe Fairy served as a depositary
for all those things we see in ourselves
that are Dark and make us uncomfortable.
Those appetites and desires that we are afraid of looking at too closely
because they reveal to much of our true selves and fears. The belief is Fairy was made up of these
things and a why for us to look at them with some "distance" so we could come to terms with those parts of
ourselves. Fairies where lustful and
ruled by their emotions. They could look scary and creepy but hide a gentile/healing
soul beneath that scary exterior full of creatively if only we dared look
beneath the surface. The beautiful
fairies often hid a much darker truth beneath their surface when we really
looked closely.
Over time Fairy has
become sanitized. The modern idea of
fairy is much different. When asked
about Fairy most people think of winged pixies and nymphs dancing in the sun
light and fields covered in morning dew.
The Light and The Illusion, the seelie court.
Forgotten is that the truth is what is beneath the
surface. Those Dark parts of ourselves
that teach us about our true selves, that used to be what fair was made
of... They have been given to the
Unseelie court/The Goblins. This the
Goblins have become a better mirror for
our modern subconscious. If we are willing to look beneath the surface and face
our fears. If we are willing to face the
truth about ourselves we no longer look at fairy,,,, we look at the GOBLINS!
If you want Pretty
words and Dances Go play with the Seelie .
We are the Unseelie. Our dances will leave you bloodied and our words
may not be pretty, but they are Honest and not clouded by Sarcasm or double
meaning.
Come to the Unseelie...we have brimstone cookies.
