'The immortality ascribed to them by the ancient Irish is only a relative immortality, their space of life being much greater than ours. In time, however, I believe that they grow old and then pass into new bodies just as men do, but whether by birth or by the growth of a new body I cannot say, since I have no certain knowledge about this.' _Sex among the 'Sidhe'._-- Q.--Does sexual differentiation seem to prevail among the Sidhe races? A.--'I have seen forms both male and female, and forms which did not suggest sex at all.' _'Sidhe' and Human Life._-- Q.--(1) Is it possible, as the ancient Irish thought, that certain of the higher _Sidhe_ beings have entered or could enter our plane of life by submitting to human birth? (2) On the other hand, do you consider it possible for men in trance or at death to enter the _Sidhe_ world? A.--(1) 'I cannot say.' (2) 'Yes; both in trance and after death. I think any one who thought much of the _Sidhe_ during his life and who saw them frequently and brooded on them would likely go to their world after death.' _Social Organization of the 'Sidhe'._-- Q.--You refer to chieftain-like or prince-like beings, and to a king among water beings; is there therefore definite social organization among the various _Sidhe_ orders and races, and if so, what is its nature? A.--'I cannot say about a definite social organization. I have seen beings who seemed to command others, and who were held in reverence. This implies an organization, but whether it is instinctive like that of a hive of bees, or consciously organized like human society, I cannot say.' _Lower 'Sidhe' as Nature Elementals._-- Q.--You speak of the water-being king as an elemental king; do you suggest thereby a resemblance between lower _Sidhe_ orders and what mediaeval mystics called elementals? A.--'The lower orders of the _Sidhe_ are, I think, the nature elementals of the mediaeval mystics.' _Nourishment of the Higher 'Sidhe'._-- Q.--The water beings as you have described them seem to be nourished and kept alive by something akin to electrical fluids; do the higher orders of the _Sidhe_ seem to be similarly nourished? A.--'They seemed to me to draw their life out of the Soul of the World.' _Collective Visions of 'Sidhe' Beings._-- Q.--Have you had visions of the various _Sidhe_ beings in company with other persons? A.--'I have had such visions on several occasions.'
