Personally speaking, the faeries, and diety aspects didn't come into real play for me until I reached Teacher Master. Speaking as a psychic (which Reiki III opened up for me) faeries, angels and gods/goddesses aren't flaky. They are living viable entities that frequently assist me in healing. I see and speak to them and they speak to me. I used Atlantean entities to mega charge the protective field around me when I'm under attack. Flaky is a matter of perception. You don't percieve that which is perfectly normal and even mundane for me, and others, but you are warned. if you advance through Reiki levels your perceptions may change and you too will one day be a badge carrying flake like myself.
