There are a number of dates which hold particular significance with regard to those who wish to find (or avoide) the fay. March 15: Ides of March A day holding no significance to humans, it is the fesival of river nymphs and water faeries. Swim at your own risk. August 7: Lammas Tide On this date faerie hills and dwellings are revealed and rise above the ground on great pillars. The homes of the fay are set ablaze with great light as they go trooping off to another nearby hill. September 29: Gwynn ap Nudd On this day the Lord of Faerie opens the doors that stand between our world and the faerie realm. Although a mortal may wander into the faerie realm, he must be careful to leave before the doors close once again. November 8: Gwynn ap Nudd Once again the Lord of faerie allows mortals to take a glimpse at the world of the fay. November 11: Hollantide This is the tradition date during which the Hillmen or Hogmen move their homes. Since they are some of the most feared of Manx Faeries, most folks will avoid leaveing their homes on this night. This day is also Lunantishees, the faerie festifal of the spirits who gaurd blackthorne trees, a sacred plant to faeries.
