I've used this or similar for almost 20 yrs since IVillage days.?
fey means 'one who sees beyond the veil', i.e. a pschic who percieves other levels of reality. I fought it for decades-- was alienated enough without that, plus i do have a lot of respect for science and logic and i question evetything including my own.perceptions, thoughts, experiences. By the time i was in early 30's i'd had enoigh experiences the were evidential to me that i relaxed and excepted it. Even began to appreciate it. So my fey side 'won'.
When internet came along it seemed like a natural. And if someone got the meaning without my explaining it told me.something about them.
