Dryads (Tree spirits, Tree Ladies, Druidesses, Hamadryads, Sidhe Draoi): These færies come from Celtic countries but are still a worldwide phenomenon. Their element is air, contrary to what may be believed. These particular færies are active all year but are most active at full moons. They are tree dwelling spirits from whom the female druids took their name. These creatures are only referred to as female. They are playful creatures but only seen as enchanting wisps of pure light. When a dryad does make contact you can't be sure whether they are there to help, play, or tease. If they help they are supposed to help you contact divine forces or even work on your magical abilities. They play wonderful music, as well as sing it. No one yet is known to have been harmed by following the music but it may cause you to stay too long in the astral world. If you want to find them go to a grove of trees, preferably with sacred trees of the druids such as willow. Maybe oak, ash, thorn, rowan, birch, and elder trees could find them near. They might be found in the physical plain but also, and mostly in the astral.
Sorry. I can't help you on the butterfyl ^^'

What is the barathary gland?
In Nuwaubian folklore, the barathary gland (sometimes seen as "baradjedi", "barithary" or "barathory") was initially a gland of the human brain that was later maimed by the Anunna (those who came down in sets of 50) in the creation(s) of mankind when they were mutated from the ape. This gland provided four higher senses 1. telepathy, 2. clairvoyance, 3. intuition, and 4. psychometry, enabling direct communication to the Annunaqi/Elohim/Neteru. Nuwaubians teach that the barathary gland can be reinserted today via advanced medical operation preformed on a sham (UFO) at the submental area of the lower chin. Some Nuwaubians believe that some people have already recovered their barathary glands in this manner.For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below.

The significance of RED and GREEN porch lights or exterior garage lights is a maritime reference to port and starboard lights of the ship. Sailors place red and green lights on their home as a significance that they are 'Captain of their ship' ie, their home. Or simply put, "It's an inside thing with all sailors" Additional folklore of the red and green light on display goes as follow; It is said, that when there is a missing sailor out to sea, the dock in which he departed is illuminated at night so that he may find his way home.
