Hi Dante, that's the kind of faery I heard last May- right while I was waking up! I heard his/her wings vibrating over my head near my bed's headboard. When I went to sit up, the room was still dark- and I heard it zoom away from me –just as a hummingbird would with that vibrating wings sound.
That is so cool that you heard one of these Beings too!

Hi Faebelief, I'm not familar with Gerring and these other Beings.
I read that Pan is a faun, but I personally believe there is only one God. I think that Pan is a being that was given some authority over Beings like him-just as many different Beings out there in authority and leadership- but they aren't really "gods"– just considered as Gods for lack of a better word for them.
hugs
Lisa

Pan is an extremely powerful spirit of the woodlands. He does occasionally appear to people in fact of the ancient dieties he's the one most frequently seen by people. I personally have never seen him. He also appears in celtic lore probably is the same spirit as the greenman or Cernunos. He usuallyappears as a horned diety with goat's legs which are symbolic of fertility. He is also a shape shifter and may appear as other animals as well.

I'm not sure, but I've been looking up information on fauns so this might help.
From what I've read about Fauns they are associated with a Roman deity named Faunus, who is one of the Di Indigetes, local gods who were not taken from other belief systems. He was associated with cattle, fertility, and nature. Originally there was no visual depiction of him, but the Romans believed the sounds of the woods were his voice and that that he was a prophetic god, one that would whisper the future to you in your dreams. Eventually, Romans identified commonalities between Faunus and the Greek god Pan which led to him and his Fauns being depicted similar to Pan and the Satyr – goat legs and horns.
Faunus may have been a king of Latium ( an area within Italy) who was deified after his death. There are also some stories that say he originates from Arcadia, which is also said to be Pan's homeland. I haven't read the Aeneid – yet – but apparently the author Virgil portrays Pan and Faunus as separate entities which was a common belief.
I think Faunus could have led a group of Satyr who migrated from Arcadia to Italy; the group naming themselves Faun after their King. Pan being the the leader of the Satyr, who at the time, remained back in Arcadia.
In Roman myth, Faunus was possibly the husband Bona Dea, a Goddess of healing and fertility. Only her female worshipers were allowed to know her true name, but she sounds as if she could be the same spirit as Danu. So if Pan and Faunus are the same entity, I think that might support what Bluefirephoenix said about him being the same spirit as the Greenman.

Are vampires real ? Yes and no. There are creatures out there that take your energy and leave you weaker and may even kill you but there is nothing that I know of that literally drinks human blood. That's fiction – great fiction, but fiction nonetheless.

I saw a lilac light floating near my face then it flew to the other side of the room. The top of one of my mums wooden boxes was off after i'd seen it closed just an hour before I asked and none of my family did it.
Was this a pixie?
If not what was it?

Father Christmas evolved out of Norse mythology about the Norse god Wotan flying through the night sky on the evening of the Norse holiday Yule.
Christmas is made up of several pagan holidays. Christ was not born on December 25. That was the date of the birthday of the Roman god Mithra. It was sometimes said to be the birthday of the Egyptian god Horus.
The Bible never says anything about celebrating the birth of Christ. I love Christmas, I am a Hindu Christian and I love the sacred music and everything about the holiday. It is not Christian though.
When people were trying to get people to convert to Christianity from pagan traditions people did not want to give up their important holidays.
The festival of Mithra and Yule were very popular, no one was going to give them up.
So Mithra's birthday became Christ's birthday.
At some point St. Nicholas was associated with the holiday. At some point he began to be portrayed as looking a lot like Wotan. Father Christmas looks like Wotan. People combined Father Christmas with St. Nicholas.
Instead of Wotan flying through the night sky on Yule giving gifts to the worthy, Father Christmas, or St. Nicholas flies through the sky on Christmas eve. yule became another word for Christmas.
Kris Kringle is a bastardation of Krist Kindle, the Christ Child in German dialect. The Lutherans taught that it was not Wotan flying through the sky on Yule, nor St. Nicholas at Christmas but the Krist Kindle (Christ Child) flying through the sky on Christmas eve giving gifts to good children.
English speaking people eventually started saying Kris Kringle instead of Krist Kindle. Then, somehow they started saying that kris Kringle was another name for Santa Claus ( St. Nicholas)
During the 19th century the famous poem Twas The Night Before Christmas ( A Visit from St. Nicholas) was written by Clement Moore and he described St., Nicholas as "a jolly old elf" He probably said that for two reasons, 1) to rhyme with the following line: "And I laughed when I saw him inspite of myself" and 2) referring to him as an elf as a way to say that he was short, to mean that because he was short, he was elf-like. I don't believe that there were any previous traditions about him being an elf. The real St. Nicholas was a Catholic bishop in Turkey in the 4th century, so he was not an elf.
I believe that The Faery bible was written by Cassandra Eason or Theresa Moorey? I believe that she is incorrect in the statement that Father Christmas is an elf.

I also saw a hummingbird this year, except it looked a bit odd because it was "Standing" in the air ( it's body was vertical) and I looked a bit different.
