Faith Healing
Mole people have resilient immune systems and don’t get injured easily, but when they do, they’ll want to get back their health as soon as possible. They can visit Herbal Gardens to seek medicine and treatment, but if they’re lucky enough, they might know a fairy who will be willing to offer them their faith healing services.
What is faith healing?
Faith healing is a power that some fairies possess that allows them to heal illness or injury through the power of faith. As Glitter God’s servants, they are more connected to him, and able to channel some of his all powerful energy into healing, but faith healing is a skill difficult to learn even for them. Many fairies do possess some level of faith healing powers, but only a few truly learn to master it.
The process of faith healing usually consists of the fairy placing their hands on the injured body part of the patient, and prays to Glitter God to heal the said patient. This requires complete focus of the fairy on the task, which can be difficult to achieve. Depending on the severity of illness or injury this can be done quickly, or take a long time and multiple faith healing sessions.
Faith healing can be used for just about any illness or injury, from simple headaches, to broken bones, but the result heavily relies on the skill of the faith healer, and even the most skilled might take a while to heal the most serious ailments. But those who are lucky to take advantage of a fairy’s faith healing powers have reported their minor problems like headaches or tummy aches being gone in the matter of minutes, if not seconds, and many have reported extraordinary recovery after major illness and even broken bones.
Learning faith healing
Faith healing can only be learnt by fairies, since only they have this kind of strong connection to Glitter God. Fairies are usually taught this by their fairy parents, who are already faith healers themselves. If your fairy parent isn’t a faith healer, they won’t be able to teach you, though there is a small chance you will find another fairy to teach you.
Young fairies start learning this from a young age. They start practicing prayer and meditation through which they establish a connection with Glitter God. With hard work and training, by the time they enter high school, they should be able to channel Glitter Gods benevolent energy into healing, and be able to heal some easier stuff, such as headaches or light sickness. From here, they still have a long path ahead of them to practice and improve their skill, and one day hopefully become one of the few who learn to truly master it.
Who gets healed?
Because faith healing is a tough skill to master and mentally draining to perform, it’s not something they will use recklessly. It’s something that’s reserved only for one or maybe a few special people the faith healer fairy is especially close with; such as a partner, BFF, parent or a child. Exceptions can be made according to the fairy’s own judgment.
In Herbal Gardens you usually will find at least one fairy willing to help you out, but this absolutely will cost you money.
Faith Healing vs Doctors
Faith healing can ideally be a lot more effective than regular medicine. Who wouldn’t prefer a fairy praying over you until your sickness goes away over uncomfortable medical treatments that can take time and cause other side effects you now have to deal with as well?
But the main problem with faith healing is its availability. As already mentioned, faith healing is usually reserved only for the closest ones of the faith healer fairy, and even then there’s no guarantee your fairy will be very skilled at it. They may know how to heal common scrapes and bruises, but won’t be any help with broken bones. Because of all this, many people still opt for regular medicine, or are sent to doctors by fairies themselves. But if you do find a particularly skiller faith healer fairy, you better make sure they stay in your life as they will make your life a lot easier.
