  Title: "The Sidhe", by Shawn Tribe

  They have been known by many terms:
  the sidhe, the hill people, the faeries,
  and countless other guises to many people,
  depending on your persuasion.

  The Sidhe are a magickal creature
  by their very nature,
  as old as time itself,
  and are said to represent
  the 4 elemental kingdoms:
  Earth, Air, Water and Fire.

  We have seen the four gifts
  of the Tuatha DeDannann,
  who live beneath the Hollow Hills
  of Olde Ireland.

  We have heard of Lammas Tide,
  held upon the seventh day,
  of the eighth month,
  when the sidhe move to a
  new faerie hill;
  those who are lucky,
  may just see the shows
  of brilliant light they put on.

  It is said that you may best see them,
  in the hours of midnight, noon, dawn or dusk,
  or upon Beltaine and Samhain.

  But be forewarned!
  If you do see such a creature,
  be humble and gracious,
  for the faerie have no reason
  to trust or honour us;
  For we have ignored them for too long,
  and have done irreversible damage
  to the very elements they represent.
