The Sluagh-Sídhe have long been accredited with wonderful yet terrible powers. They are immortal and may have lived in Celtic lands long before the Celts themselves arrived. They are great magicians, diviners of the future and craefty herbalists who can whip you up a cure from the plants growing wherever you are. But watch out! If you are healed by a Faery, you will be indebted to them. If you do a favor for one of the Sluagh-Sídhe, however, they will be indebted to you. Either way, this can be a beneficial relationship for the both of you, if you treat the Faery with respect.

Mortals may engage in communications with the Sluagh-Sídhe at wells (1) in order to learn their magical arts and philosophy, (2) in the hope of learning more about ancient Celtic worlds (which the Faery remember, being immortal; at least by our standards) and (3) as a way of deepening one's knowledge of folklore and thereby increasing one's "store of ancient verse." Contrary to later Christianized ideas about them, the Sluagh-Sídhe are not generally malicious or vindictive; nor are they 'demons.' While they like their privacy and do not usually appreciate being ordered around or interrupted (especially when they are sleeping or singing), they don't generally object to being asked serious questions about the past, about magic and myths or about how to deepen one's mystical communion with Earth & Cosmos. Approached with caution and a certain politeness, they may become devoted allies.
