LEPRECHAUNS : LITTLE GREEN MEN
EXTRATERRESTRIALS : LITTLE GREEN MEN
MANKIND MINUS THE ABILITY TO COMPREHEND TRUE SCIENCE = THE ABILITY TO NOT UNDERSTAND ALIENS AS AN OTHERWORLDY FORCE AND CREATE A MYTHICAL EARTHLORE EXPLANATION FOR THE LEPRECHAUN PHENOMENON.
SO LITTLE GREEN MEN BACK IN THE OLD WORLD OF IRELAND WERE ESSENTIALLY MISUNDERSTOOD ALIENS WITH A HANKERING FOR GOLD - WHICH IS A POTENTIAL UNIVERSAL POWERSOURCE FOR ANTI-GRAVITY PROPULSION.
THE END OF THE RAINBOW WAS THE ACT OF ALIEN SPACECRAFTS LANDING AND THE SEARCH FOR GOLD MAKES EARTH INTERESTING BECAUSE OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE METAL IN CERTAIN AREAS. THIS WAS AN ANCIENT MINING TECHNIQUE THAT MAY VERY WELL STILL BE GOING ON.
PLACE YOURSELF IN THE SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE NO SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUE PROPERTIES OF PHYSICS, BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY. YOU WOULD PROBABLY BELIEVE THAT THESE LITTLE GREEN MARAUDERS WERE SOME MYSTICAL EARTH CREATURE WITH A PENCHANT FOR GOLD AND MAKING SHOES ALSO.
NOT SO THE CASE IT MAY APPEAR.
THE CRYPTICON (info@crypticon.com) IS CURRENTLY SEEKING FUNDING FOR A SCREENPLAY OF THIS POTENTIAL REALITY.
IT WILL BE TITLED "GOLD" AND EXIST IN THE OLD WORLD OF IRELAND IN THE 18TH CENTURY. A PRE-INDUSTRIAL SAGA OF A TOWN AND THE INVASION OF AN ALIEN SPECIES THAT THEY CANNOT COMPREHEND BECAUSE OF THE TIME IN HISTORY.
ENTER THE TALES OF THE LEPRECHAUN... ENTER THE REALITY OF GOLD AND ANTI-GRAVITY... ENTER A TWISTED FAIRY TALE.
AS A BACKGORUND FOR LEPRECHAUN LORE, HERE ARE EXCERPTS OF THE IRISH FAIRY TALE:
Ireland's national fairy - the leprechaun is often brought into the limelight on St.Patrick'sDay; yet there is quite a bit of mystery surrounding this little elf.
Leprechauns are about 3 feet tall and proportionately built (they're not dwarves). They dress plainly & carry two coins with them - one magic replenishing coin that will always return to the purse after it's spent, & one dummy coin that will turn into a rock once the leprechaun has given it away. Leprechauns are solitary, anti-social & hard-working - often found behind bushes or trees smoking pipes or making shoes.
In addition to cobblery, their other trade is "banking" because they're the only fairies who are thrifty. Leprechauns are the protectors of fairy treasure and they're responsible for keeping it safely hidden. Rainbows reveal where pots of gold are hidden, so leprechauns sometimes spend all day moving their crocks from one spot to another to allude the tell-tale end of the rainbow. If you capture a leprechaun, you shouldn't let him out of your grasp or your site before he reveals his gold. He'll try to distract you or use any ploy he can think of to get away. In the blink of an eye, the leprechaun can dash out of sight.
There is another side to leprechauns. In spite of their surly dispositions they can also be generous to those who do them good turns. They may repay a kind deed with a replenishing coin, some gold, or wishes.
There isn't any mention of female leprechauns in traditional Irish legend, so there are different theories as to how they come about. Perhaps they are defective offspring of other fairies, or maybe they're the products of unions between fairies & humans.
Another topic of speculation is the relationship between leprechauns & cluricauns. Are cluricauns close cousins of leprechauns? They look just alike, except cluricauns have slightly pink-tipped noses. They dress very dandily in garish colors & they have no desire to work. Cluricauns are almost always drunk & cheerful. They never have any money, or any idea where treasure is buried. Cluricauns steal what they want - they raid wine cellars & pantries until there is nothing left. Then they wreak havoc in the house before running off into the night. Cluricauns harness animals & race them around while damaging private property for amusement. Leprechauns denounce cluricaun behavior, but it has been said that cluricauns may just be leprechauns on drunken sprees.
In Ireland, not far from the town of Thurles, in a picturesque part of Tipperary, is nestled the enchanting Glen of Cloongallon. To the north rise the Silvermine Mountains, and on a clear day it is possible to see the fabled seat of the kings of Munster. The mighty Rock of Cashel dominates the surrounding the plain.
A fairy ring lies in the heart of the Glen. This prehistoric earthwork, some 500 ft in diameter and averaging 10 ft in height, encloses a neolithic dolmen. It is here, following mysterious events on a nearby farm, that the area has earned the reputation as a haunt for supernatural beings of various types. These include leprechauns, sheeries and pookas. They are regarded as being particularly active in the spring.
The Glen of Cloongallon is in the townland of Ballyseanrath. In a slight hollow lies the fairy ring itself. It is not obvious to passers-by as it is by hedges of hawthorn, ash, blackthorn hedges and early flowering gorse. There are trees ranged around the perimeter, mainly chestnut, with one magnificent specimen of oak. The oak is believed to be over 600 years old. Its magical reputation may stem from its providing leprechauns with acorns for their pipes. The tree is thought to be protected by a skeaghshee or tree spirit. Thus it may well have been spared the axe in Tudor times. Many of its species were felled to build Men O'War for Henry VIII's navy. "
