THIEVES IN THE NIGHT: A Brief History of Supernatural Child Abductions Aug 2, 2018 by Joshua Cutchin
Kevin mentioned hormone receptors in the eyes. These turn out to be estrogen and progesaterone. What I find very peculiar in this book's presented fairy lore is the preference for 'the female'. Not too far out to assume 'female hormones'.
Another passage that struck me is the part where a fairy could not give birth without the touch of a human female. Perhaps I'm interpreting this wrong, but there are certain 'touching' techniques to stimulate oxytocin levels in a more natural way (in stead of western medical science injecting it directly into the vain) to push/stimulate birth during labour.

Now what if some(?) Fae reproduce through parthenogenesis? We would see introduced male/female hormones creating an effect on the Fae child leaning towards the feminine or masculine as the case may be. For example fairies are said to be predominantly feminine where gnomes are often said to be mixed communities.
So far, one theme touched upon in the book I can relate to is the importance of not leaving small children alone. Loneliness is perhaps the loudest of all emotions. Loneliness calls out for company. I would think it a lottery as to who turns up first.
I am up to the part about Changelings.

My softcover copy just arrived in the mail. Haven't opened it yet.
The cover reminds me of one night as a five year old. Woke up in the night with the bed a yard off the floor and getting tossed about until terrified and screaming. Then on the left side of the bed all these stars appeared and the bed upended me into it. Don't remember any more.
Maybe reading the book will precipitate something. I'll let you know if it does.

It's an intriguing book. A few things stood out to me already:
Kevin mentioned hormone receptors in the eyes. These turn out to be estrogen and progesterone. What I find very peculiar in this book's presented fairy lore is the preference for 'the female'. Not too far out to assume 'female hormones'.
Another passage that struck me is the part where a fairy could not give birth without the touch of a human female. Perhaps I'm interpreting this wrong, but there are certain 'touching' techniques to stimulate oxytocin levels in a more natural way (in stead of western medical science injecting it directly into the vain) to push/stimulate birth during labour.
I was still sitting on an unhatched post regarding patterns and data models, but this offers a very interesting view. It's at least food for thought or discussion.
- Wikipedia
The androgen receptor (AR), also known as NR3C4 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 4), is a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding any of the androgenic hormones, including testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in the cytoplasm and then translocating into the nucleus.
I was only looking at Testosterone..so I wasn't wrong, but I should have given this better reference.. it was an off the cuff response.

If I recall correctly I remember being on a guided tour on a historical site in France with an underground staircase where, according to the guide, you could meet the faeries. One can imagine the experience going down alone being obligated to stay there for a long time. I’ll need to check where it was exactly.
Looks like you and NobodySpecial summoned my inner slough and gave me some things to study!
But you can't even say the word 'kundalini' without discussing testosterone. At least when discussing the original thing, not the corrupted nonsense you read about in new age blathering. That's why I'm always keeping testosterone in mind when examining the human body. Really Cortisol, Oxytocin and Testosterone. Dopamine too for the reward loop portion.
Tell me more about the stars. Were they in the bedroom, or were you 'engulfed by them' ?
Loneliness and a cry for companionship is truly a form of 'summoning'. Abused children will often cry out and accept *any* form of companionship. At least that's how it worked for me, and it seems to be a recognized pattern.
Parthenogenesis, like fission and budding that I mention are much safer.
It seems to be what 'faeries' do. I mean, they do the overshadowing first,
to have part of their essence take on new characteristics first, THEN
do the parthenogenesis.
When I 'died' due to meditation, had blood pooling in my lower body and all that, right at the very end before 'i returned', i was surrounded by a vast field of stars, only they weren't actually stars. I still don't know what they were, but I suppose one might call them 'faerie lights' (some would say it was due to my dying brain of course.. but studies like that always say 'tunnel of light'; I never saw anything like that). So pretty interesting, eh? You'd probably say that I'd been 'spirited away'. UFO people might say that I'd been abducted or 'spiritually abducted'. A yoga head might say that I'd transcended. But the critical point here, is that I think it's all the same thing. One might reasonably assume that the 'faeries' run the whole show. Now, this doesn't take into account what I learned about ' threads', but even so. Kev

Interesting yes, and I have no idea what the stars are either.
All the same thing? I think so too.
What you wrote about the 'threads' rings entirely true to me at some level. Though I can only speculate like anyone else would.
