I know I've dwelled on fairies for quite a while in my articles, but this mostly due to their constant reappearance, in some form or another, as times go by despite how much our world changes and becomes more modern. This last aspect of their existence, called "The Lands Beneath" by the Reverend Robert Kirk in his book, ties in very well with other legends that our Earth may be hollow.
Hollow Earth Theory, if you are one hearing this term for the first time, is the concept, thought, or belief that the Earth is hollow. Normally it is believed holes exist at the poles of the Earth that can lead one inside. While no modern account really exists of anyone actually entering the Earth and returning to tell the story, it is had long belief across the globe in various forms as the times changed.
"The Lands Beneath" is what the beings Robert Kirk encountered in Aberfoyle, Scotland, called where they live. A place under the Earth. His books are really worth checking out, a lot of his writing lives on today as the basis for what we typically widely regard as fairy life and culture. The place, described by Kirk, is said to be as real as it is to you reading this article now, filled with forest, mountains, and countryside much like our fairytale vision of that today. He would have no feeling of traveling far if he did with his companion, and believed the world around him was thought into existance. Even the things he saw he was unsure were really there later, figuring that's how he thought it should look. It was a dreamlike world, seemingly controlled by thought.
Before getting into other areas here, a basic difference should be noted. The fairies of Kirk's writings went back to The Lands Beneath through passages of their own design in the hill and land forms where Kirk lived. The Hollow Earth Theory almost exclusively cites the poles at entrance points. This is a small, but I think important, detail.
The Greek's belief in Hades, Christianity's Hell, and the Egyptian's Underworld are great examples of how beliefs and thought of a place beneath us has changed over thousands of years. Another theory has been proposed that our Earth exists in layers. Us on the surface, caves and tunnels with their own culture and cities in the next layer, and finally the existance of a world like ours in the center. The idea of a dimly lit sun suspended in the center of the Earth seems to reappear in what seem to be unrelated stories and accounts of strange happenings to people, though few exist today. There is the idea that aliens are landing their spacecraft under the Earth as well, taking off and landing at their own leisure.
Without actually going inside can we find out how true any of our current theories or past beliefs are. Like many paranormal things a hollow Earth has many avenues of tradition, legends, and stories, even if they don't directly say so. By looking between the lines we are bound to fine bits of truth, maybe enough to discover if a place under us really exists.
