Nunnehi and Other Spirit Folk

I think this stuff is pretty intriguing...

There are a lot of parallels here that can be drawn with European folklore such as finding Sidhe "wraths" by the sound of music coming from them and the sometimes helpfulness of some fae.

On top of that, the Nunnehi resonate similar to myself, like something in the realm of the cousin. I have no way to describe it like I do for Sidhe and others though.

Enoch

CHAPTER VII.

1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. 6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

The height of the giants in this is crazy. I can't take that seriously, it's either an exaggerating book or there is some ancient idiom at play that it would take more research than I can do right now to discern.

But since the basic idea is found in other texts and even in other cultures (sumerians) I tend to take that seriously, if no one could tell...:p.

Additionally, this describes a possible source for some vampirism perhaps even therianism?

...1. And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals 〈of the earth〉 and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. 2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl,

p. 36

[paragraph continues] (taught) astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, 〈Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun〉, and Sariêl the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . .

The Treasures of the Danaans

Tuan mac Carell says they came to Ireland "out of heaven." This is embroidered in later tradition into a narrative telling how they sprang from four great cities, whose very names breathe of fairydom and romance - Falias, Gorias, Finias, and Murias. Here they learned science and craftsmanship from great sages one of whom was enthroned in each city.....

The Angels taught their children, and this went to their children's children etc....IMO.

...And to Gabriel said the Lord: 'Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have....5. And from henceforth you shall not ascend into heaven unto all eternity, and ⌈in bonds⌉ of the earth the decree has gone forth to bind you for all the days of the world. 6. And (that) previously you shall have seen the destruction of your beloved sons and ye shall have no pleasure in them, but they shall fall before you by the sword....

The Dannan arrive in Erin and battle the Fir Bolg. The Fomorians follow the Dannan to Erin. They battel, along with some Sidhe (according to oneversion), Balor (a giant?) is slain. The Dannan are driven from Erin, in battle, by men. IMO, the words given to Enoch seem to come true.

Yet, the Watchers had to remain on earth long enough to see this all occur. How long did it take? What did the watchers do during that time? think this could explain a lot.

....8. And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. 9. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, ⌈⌈and⌉⌉ from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; ⌈they shall be evil spirits on earth, and⌉ evil spirits shall they be called. [10. As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.] 11. And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, ⌈but nevertheless hunger⌉ and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded ⌈from them⌉.

The Shedim of Sheol. Some scholars would prefer it read "in the earth" as the dwelling, meaning they seem to be able to come and go from Sheol. This explains a lot for me too, though it is a tangent. Here, IMO, I find the explanation for the seemingly pointless and destructive "demonic" activity I have seen in my life. I say this because i would expect a fallen angel to be more sophisticated, to have more of an agenda...and I think they do. Thus I think the other inane crap comes from these other things. Back to the main topic line though...

...2. And the women also of the angels who went astray shall become sirens.'

Wha?????

There's a lot in this apocryphal text that jumps at me. I wonder what manner of angels transgressed in this way. Different types? it doesn't say. perhaps some seraphim? I wonder because fiery serpents with wings is some draconic imagery, or at least could parallel that idea.

Underhill...?

Years ago I asked YHVH to show me a fae land. I don't bring this up much because I had no repeated results of this like I did with other information i asked for.

I dreamt it. I think of it now and again because it was the most emotional dream I have ever had. It started out as some normal inane head trash, I ended up deep in some cavern where a passage went through a goofy looking statue of a fish. I know, one might be thinking Disney's Atlantis, I thought that too...

Anyway, once through that things changed. I became lucid, i walked out into daylight, only without a sun in the sky. odd formations of beige sedimentary rock, like limestone, created overlapped circular terraces that stepped down to what I think was an inland sea due to the more gentle lapping of the water. Thick green grass grey on their flat tops. However, stacks of the same rock stood out in the water, formations shaped by wave action. Off in the lake a thick mist stood, I got the impression it was a boundary, the edge of this place somehow.There was a wooden fort there. I explored it. It was old, hadn't been used in a long time. No one was here.

I went back down to the sea front and got all emotional. I felt so strongly that I didn't deserve to be there and was thanking God for showing me. And that was the end of the as far as I can recall.

Was this "underhill?"

I don't know. I have trouble with that idea. I believe in an underhill of sorts, in Hebrew it's "sheol." It's not generally a good place to be, though some parts are not especially bad in the literature that features descriptions of it. The descriptions don't really say much at all though. It's quite ambiguous.

So what was this place I saw? I am hesitant to conclude.

Gold

My wife has Dannan gold in her. I recall when I first met her. It was in a friends car port. We were all going on a trip, she was a friend of a friend. I noticed the feeling when I first saw her, the undertone. Later i saw her in the sunlight. It seemed to go into her skin, then radiate back out in gold.

I can't tell her this though.

Kids

I had a previous marriage, she had better places to be.

Anyway, we have three kids. They are all technically half Navajo. The middle one, however, looks quite anglo. She has honey colored hair, light skin and grey eyes,.... with shovel shaped incisors though.

What's odd, for me, is that she has the same gold energy thing going on as I described in my last entry. Mine is silver, my daughter's is gold. How is this so if things pass down from aprents to children like I think is going on?

One possible clue is in the biology. Biologically speaking there is NO possible way for my daughter to express recessive traits like that unless they were carried by her mother. Now her mother looks the part. FBI (Full Blooded Indian) as the joke goes (it's on a movie called Thunderheart). Complete expression of dominant traits. Dark skin, hair and eyes. According to her grandmother, there was some white guy in their past though. This would be the most likely source for my daughters recessive expression on her mother's side.

So why is she not silver like me? yes, my perceptions could be flawed, but I am going to go with them for now. There is two possible things, IMO

1.) I can't rule out reincarnation. it would be only under specific conditions and could work hand in hand with traducianism, the idea that spiritual components come from the mother and father. It could be that certain spiritual components passed down allow for reincarnation...? That opens a can of worms though as it wouldn't be the spirit that reincarnates, but something else...we could call it the consciousness I guess.

2.) The spiritual components mirror the biological, or the other way around, in that some are dominant and some are recessive. In this case, I think Sidhe might be a recessive spiritual trait. If pitted against Dannan gold, it is the Dannan gold that expresses.

I lean towards #2 simply because I find it odd to have a dannan reincarnate directly following what would be sidhe reincarnate (me) if that is the explanation. Also, I tend to see a lot of physical paralleling or mirroring the spiritual.

Lastly, there are my other kids from that marriage. They look half Navajo and I can't get a bead on their resonance for some reason. I have no idea concerning this part of it all.
