Changelings live in between the world of banal reality like us, and the world of dreams blending with what we see and what we imagine. Often awakening to this life as children, as they grow older, they lose touch with their dreams and thus their Fae selves fade away. Some may hold on longer, but some choose for themselves to shorn that side of themselves away sooner--and there is a ritual to help them do so. Who comes on this sacred Beltaine to pass from the world of dreams into the worries and care of adult responsibilities? Who needs to forget or misremember what once gave them joy?
