Another (Possibly Weak) Theory

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Oh, no problem. I am very much on the fence and can't keep abos and Shadow Children straight any more than I can keep the various Hiero-dudes straight.
I'd note that "racial memory" memes once were very popular and seem to be indirectly played on here---someone mentioned the Dogons. Also, Sandwalker always reminded me of an Australian aborigine, so the Dreamtime (very long time ago) is not a stretch ?for me. And Australian aborigines came from Africa as much as India.?Fairies are often pale and blond, but before that, they were brown.?
There really are strong hints of the Shee as interstellar travellers. But then, in our real world, there are also "memories" of their existence. Yet, they are not actually real outside those stories! So what does this say about the Gondwanaland hypothesis?
It's maddening.

David: If you did, I missed it; I've been skimming a lot recently. My apologies.

Shapechangers from the green planet, yes.

Actually, this is where it gets interesting: the faerie don't
just _steal_ children: they _replace_ them with changelings.
And so we get to at least a weak form of Veil's Hypothesis.

H'mmmm. I am extremely dubious about "racial memory"
theories, but will mull on this.
