- Daphne Charters and the Fairy & Human Relations Congress
Daphne Charters wrote down her adventures with the fairies over a span of four decades. She could see the fairies and carry on long conversations with them. The fairies told Daphne about their lives, their exploits, their work and their spiritual development. As such, they are stories about the lives of the fairies told in their own words.
One of the most far-reaching outcomes of the friendship between Daphne and the fairies was the establishment of their annual Fairy & Human Relations Congress. The story of the beginnings of the Congress is found in Chapter 3 of "A True Fairy Tale" and in Daphne's preface to the Report on the 1985 Fairy & Human Relations Congress. The Congress was a success from the very first one, (held sometime in the early 1950s) which 3,000 fairies from around the world attended, along with the high devas assigned to help keep it organized. The only humans present were not in their physical form with the exception of Daphne.
Daphne passed on from the Earth plane in 1991, after asking Michael Pilarski to publish her Collected Manuscripts. In 2001, the first Fairy & Human Relations Congress on the earthly plane was held at Skalitude in Eastern Washington. It has been an annual event ever since.
