Looking for Fairies
What is the Christian equivalent of a fairy? I cried in earnest.
I don’t think my husband ever expected to be asked such a question. It is a strange question, I suppose. But after reading Paracelsus’ theories on supernatural beings (which we’ll cover next time), it was a natural question for me. Paracelsus goes into great detail about how supernatural beings serve a divine purpose, which includes “water women” – our sea maidens. I think most of what he says is wrong, but it made me think: what is the Christian equivalent for middle-ground forces?
Christianity has never been good at the both/ands of the world, even though it’s so crucial to our faith. We split everything into light and dark, good and evil. And yet, there is a middle ground where the two seem blurred.
