In ancient Greece, Puck rode in a boat that sailed backwards.
The people named this voyager ‘Hubris’ for they held great fear of it reaching places that the mortals were not meant to go - the very ends of the earth - where, it was said, one could meet face to face with the gods.
Of course this was only partially correct, as the vessel would take him and his passengers through the channels, and further on, to find passage into the lands of Faerie.
He travelled to those most special of conjunctions, a nautical wormhole, where ships could disappear into, never to return.
In reality, the boat would sail its weight right into the harbours of the etheric realm, emptying its occupants right onto the shores of Faerie land.
It was not so easy these days to take human beings on board, or into, an adventure such as this.
It seemed that those gateways on earth and sea had closed - and at best when found, they could only inspire visions of the faraway dreamlands … no longer providing a proper en-trance in, anymore.
