I wouldn't shrug it off like that... I thought we agreed on diffrent cultures diffrent appearance...
But in order to see if there are similarities, a more in dept description if that mushroom goddess would be helpful.

yeh its exactly what you think it is
I just wonder what connection if any there is between the fae and the mushroom goddess
being both nature based entities would be interesting to know.
it seems humans have a rich history with psychedelics and contacting beings
wonder if these are connected in some way.
Sure i always forget about t&c especially considering that particular section. It's interesting that a conspiracy site is not allowing discussions about a Fundamental conspiracy so old and damaging for our society just because it is illegal, which is part of the conspiracy. you can't really go into the full depth without breaking t&c, which in today's day and age is a shame.
Which brings up couple of question.
if fairies are the gardeners why would they embed doors in plants?
Maybe because mirrors are rather new?
Maybe they want animals too?
Maybe just another error on the loose?
maybe the intellect wasn't always dominant enough to actively steer our thoughts in between and these natural nodges were necessary?
My suggestion is to put those thoughts into some sort of context.
I'd rather not, unless you want me banned, what a dilemma
the thoughts in between as a gateway. call it door, whatever, it is something that allows your mind to cross
You know what I find interesting is that the way you have drawn that line reminds me of what locals say that there is a cave on each side and they are connected and they are fae caves
wouldnt be surprised if the line you have drawn goes from one entrance to the other
I think we will try and go before the end of september before the weather turns
I will take pictures and will see if I can see anything interesting or feel anything odd
I have no intentions other than simple curiosity, I love nature so Im very interested to know more about it and the fae apparently are so entwined with nature that it makes sense to learn about their role with nature.
The reason I brought up the mushrooms is because mycelium form networks from tree to tree and act as a communications grid between trees, so I am curious to know the connection between mushroom and fae if any , as mushrooms appear to be intelligent so they must have a role to play with the fae , mushrooms are apparently one of the oldest organisms on earth so it would make sense that the fae have some sort of connection with them.
I mean in old illustrations they would always have the faerie depicted sitting on a flyagaric mushroom.
thanks again for taking time to reply and provide us with more information
I love this thread and its made me feel good about things at present
which is nice because the world is in such a bad state right now Id do anything to try and make it better
and to get our species more in balance with nature
The flyagaric, well . . . some more speculation: it would not surprise me to learn that the fairies can make use of the flyagaric's unique properties when they cast their glamours on humans. That may be a key there to understanding how the fairies work some of their magic when it comes to altering human consciousness.
That of course would be on the fairy's terms and they would no doubt be experts on what to bring out of the mushrooms to achieve their intentions. I would think that the fairy would greatly refine the flyagaric properties.
That idea would explain how a fairy can alter a human's perception so people could see into, and interact with the fairy realm.
That concept fits in with my studies into what fairies "eat" from my orchard and garden.
A Vision Of The Dead
There once dwelt in Nithsdale a woman who was enabled by fairy aid to see the spirits of the dead in the Other World. This was how it came about. One day she sat spinning wool in her house. Her baby lay in a cradle beside her, listening to the soft humming sound of the spinning wheel and her mother's sweet song. Suddenly a rustling, like the rustling of dead leaves in the wind, was heard at the door. The woman looked up and saw a beautiful lady, clad in green and carrying a baby. She entered, and smiling sweetly, spoke and said: "Will you nurse my bonnie baby until I return?"
The woman answered: "Yes, I shall do that."
She took the baby in her arms, and the lady went away, promising to return. But the day went past and night came on, and still she did not come back for her child. The woman wondered greatly, but she wondered even more next morning when she awoke to find beside her bed beautiful new clothes for her children, and some delicious cakes. Being very poor she was glad to dress her children in the new clothes, and to find that they fitted well. The cakes were of wheaten bread and had a honey flavour. It was a great delight to the children to eat them.
The lady did not return that day or the next day. Weeks went past, and the woman nursed the strange child. Months went past, and still the lady stayed away. On many a morning wheaten cakes with honey flavour were found in the house, and when the children's clothes were nearly worn out, new clothing was provided for them as mysteriously as before.
Summer came on, and one evening the lady, clad in green, again entered the house. A child who was playing on the floor stretched forth her hands to grasp the shining silver spangles that adorned her gown, but, to his surprise, his hands passed through them as if they were sunbeams. The woman perceived this, and knew that her visitor was a fairy.
Said the fairy lady: "You have been kind to my bonnie baby; I will now take her away."
The woman was sorry to part with the child, and said: "You have a right to her, but I love her dearly."
Said the fairy: "Come with me, and I shall show you my house."
The woman went outside with the fairy. They walked through a wood together, and then began to climb a green hill on the sunny side. When they were half-way to the top, the fairy said something which the woman did not understand. No sooner had she spoken than the turf on a bank in front of them lifted up and revealed a door. This door opened, and the two entered through the doorway. When they did so, the turf came down and the door was shut.
The woman found herself in a bare chamber which was dimly lighted.
"Now you shall see my home," said the fairy woman, who took from her waist-belt a goblet containing a green liquid. She dropped three drops of this liquid in the woman's left eye, and said: "Look now."
The woman looked, and was filled with wonder. A beautiful country stretched out in front of her. There were green hills fringed by trees, crystal streams flashing in sunshine, and a lake that shone like burnished silver. Between the hills there lay a field of ripe barley.
The fairy then dropped three drops of the green liquid in the woman's right eye, and said: "Look now."
The woman looked, and she saw men and women she had known in times past, cutting the barley and gathering fruit from the trees.
She cried out: "I see many who once lived on earth and have long been dead. What are they doing here?"
Said the fairy: "These people are suffering punishment for their evil deeds."
When she had spoken thus, the fairy woman passed her hand over the woman's eyes, and the vision of green hills and harvest fields and reapers vanished at once. She found herself standing once more in the bare, dimly-lighted chamber. Then the fairy gave her gifts of cloth and healing ointments, and, leading her to the door, bade her farewell. The door opened, the turf was lifted up, and the woman left the fairy's dwelling and returned to her own home.
For a time she kept the power of seeing the fairies as they went to and fro near her house. But one day she spoke to one of them, and the fairy asked: "With which eye do you see me?"
Said the woman: "I see you with both my eyes."
The fairy breathed on her eyes, and then was lost to sight. Never again did the woman behold the fairies, for the power that had been given her was taken away from her eyes by this fairy to whom she had spoken.

aww man its like they can give you the ability to see them freely and then take it away at a moments notice
if they have the ability to alter our perception so easily they must be very powerful beings indeed
its a wonder they require our help with anything
which leads me to believe we have some ability or something about us that they cant do or wont do for reasons unknown and they need our help.
Which is totally baffling
