Faery Aptitude Test

      Many people have experinced the faery realm many times without even realising it.  For our ancestors who worked more closely with nature and were less skeptical the fae were a part of life.  Even today for some individuals and in some areas (such as the Isle of Mann) the wee folk are still well and active.  However, for most people at least some part of the faery realm interacts with them on a fairly regular basis, but this is not always recognised.  This is a test that will let you know how often you may have experineced contact with the faery realm.  If you answer yes to many of the these questions you most likely have.
