Irish Faerie Narratives
The Irish Catholic Church is by far, the most powerful institution in both Northern Ireland and Ireland, which are technically separate countries since the schism one hundred years ago. Irish Catholics created communities for themselves the world over. Some of the saints in the Irish Catholic Church have origin stories that are told as part of the Irish fairy story cannon. Catholic Church's hagiography of a saint's life is usually very dissimilar from the folk tale version, but the names and themes are often the same.

Higher Altitudes
My name is Rae, and when I was 19 years old, I traveled to Himachal Pradesh to trek the borders of Pakistan, China, & Nepal. Between hikes, our driver, Hanji, drove us between drop off and pick up points; he was our guide while we were in India. I traveled with three companions; one older indian man, one older indian woman, and an older caucasian woman. I was young, blonde, beautiful, and adventurous. I was offered the opportunity to make a documentary while trekking the borders of India, and I just jumped at the chance without thinking of the dangers these regions have; Human Trafficking, rape, & extreme racism against white people. In some areas, I was treated like a white famous supermodel; everyone wanted to talk to me, take pictures with me, touch my curly long blonde hair and white pasty skin... others pulled me out of our trekking vehicle, stripped me down to nearly nothing, dumped out all of my camera equipment and pointed guns at my head. The Pakistan border was not a fun zone to travel through for me.
