One time, when I was training a friend in outdoors stuff, I had a rather interesting experience with faeries....
Music does seem to be their thing, certainly in stories. If you hear it coming from the fairy hills, you'll know they're about. Funny that you heard music before she came and 'chose' you. As far as seeing them goes, you have to wonder what it is we're seeing.
How many times have you thought you saw something, until your brain figures it out, and then you realise you're looking at something else entirely? I wonder if that's what happens with fairies, and ghosts and aliens or whatever you want to call them.
You 'see' them but you can't make sense of what you're seeing and so your brain presents the picture that comes closest to what is actually there. So religious folk see one thing, UFO enthusiasts see another etc etc. But the 'thing' they are all seeing is the same. Whether it's a wave, energy, different bandwith, however you would think of it.
This idea was brought up earlier, I think, but it's only starting to register with me now.

Your language is fine, you're good at describing things, I just like to translate them into my own 'language' so that I can remember them. So that would mean they have their own 'Melissa'?
I'll need to read your Jaques Vallee books, they sound good. I'll put them on my list.

Hmm, I don't know if they glow or not. The only gold I can think of is their money. If you get money from them, their gold, it turns to tin or dust when they go, or you leave the otherworld. It's valueless, rubbish but it seems worth something for a while, in their company. Actually a bit like leprechauns' pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Their gold is a trick, funnily enough.

What about the Tuatha De Danaan?
They were called 'The Shining Ones'...was that an association to light, I wonder?

Interesting in that I almost understand at a non verbal level what you're attempting to convey, but maybe try to more define the relationships of the colors to concepts... though I also feel like it's trying to verbalize why a symphony makes one wistful, but ... ?
eta: and see that you beat me to it in the above post.. . almost there, Kev, but not quite. I guess the relationships of the concepts/beings need reminding/defining?

I know, I was agreeing with the tricky trickster part.
