We walk the line between imagination and a level of reality. When our senses fail to confirm what we imagine, the level of reality is difficult to ascertain. We look for confirmation from others. I lean too much to the scientific approach. Magic does not lend itself to scientific analysis. They are two different categories of reality. I admire those, such as yourself, who gain confidence in their intuitive senses, and thereby can comfortably access the world of the Fae.
Humble respect seems called for.
