"To journey into the Underworld of the Faery, one must be pure of heart, honest, and steadfast of will, which may be why children more readily see and hear the Faery. Journeying to the Underworld involves intentionally stepping between worlds. This is termed "walking between worlds: or "twinkling"; it involves a physical translation into other realms and, one hopes, the subsequent physical return to ordinary reality. Many stories tell of those who entered into the Faery mounds never to return or only to return several years after they left. 

Underworld experiences liberate and unify our energies and perceptions rather than rationalize and separate them. The deeper we reach into the Underworld, the closer we come to the Earth Light. To the Celts, the light within the earth was direct light, that of spirit living within matter."
