FAIRY

A fairy (also fay, fae, fey, fair folk, or faerie) is a type of

mythical being or legendary creature found in the folklore of multiple
European cultures (including Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, English, and
French folklore), a form of spirit, often described as metaphysical,
supernatural, or preternatural.

Myths and stories about fairies do not have a single origin, but are
rather a collection of folk beliefs from disparate sources. Various
folk theories about the origins of fairies include casting them as
either demoted angels or demons in a Christian tradition, as deities
in Pagan belief systems, as spirits of the dead, as prehistoric
precursors to humans, or as spirits of nature.

The label of fairy has at times applied only to specific magical

creatures with human appearance, magical powers, and a penchant for
trickery. At other times it has been used to describe any magical
creature, such as goblins and gnomes. Fairy has at times been used as
an adjective, with a meaning equivalent to "enchanted" or "magical".
It is also used as a name for the place these beings come from, the
land of Fairy.

A recurring motif of legends about fairies is the need to ward off

fairies using protective charms. Common examples of such charms
include church bells, wearing clothing inside out, four-leaf clover,
and food. Fairies were also sometimes thought to haunt specific
locations, and to lead travelers astray using will-o'-the-wisps.
Before the advent of modern medicine, fairies were often blamed for
sickness, particularly tuberculosis and birth deformities.

In addition to their folkloric origins, fairies were a common feature

of Renaissance literature and Romantic art, and were especially
popular in the United Kingdom during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
The Celtic Revival also saw fairies established as a canonical part of
Celtic cultural heritage.
Who first discovered fairies?

The oldest fairies on record in England were first described by the

historian Gervase of Tilbury in the 13th century. In the 1485 book Le
Morte d'Arthur, Morgan le Fay, whose connection to the realm of
Faerie is implied in her name, is a woman whose magic powers stem
from study.

Do fairies harm humans?

Typically, fairies only want to harm a human if the person has touched

question. There are very forgiving fairies, such as house fairies, and
there are parts of the Fae Folk who will hurt humans for no reason at
all, such as the Unseelie Court.

What is a fairy's enemy?

Traditional fairy enemies include hags, goblins, fomorians, and fairies

of the opposing court (Seelie Court vs).
It was just an introduction. In our real live are also fairies but not as
you know as a supernatural, paranormal creature made of light. The
fairies are thought of as a form of spirits that wander in the world,
where they were between humans being kind. Fairies are evil and
wicked in real life.

Fairies are evil?

Yes, fairies belonging to European folklore are very evil. According to
ancient folklore and manuscripts, the fair folk was very evil as they
played tricks on people. These fairies and their ways are totally
opposite of the fairies we see in animated movies and cartoons today.

So, what is actually true? We, humans, have been living on this Earth
for quite a while now. We have had uncountable calamities befall us.
The narrators of the ancient time have done a commendable job in
collecting, narrating, and preserving data for the generations to come.
Likewise, much evidence can be found regarding the nature and the
doings of fairies.

The fairies are odd creatures of the world and the world seems to be
divided by the nature and abilities of the fairies. The question still
remains why there is a difference between the fairies of olden and
new times. To answer this question, we must look at the concept of
fairies in much more detail.
Wicked Abilities of Fairies

Folk is a commonly described word for the fairies in European culture. As the
European culture is very rich and widely spread, its folklore contains a lot of
stories and anecdotes. Among all of them, it is very evident that the fairies had
supernatural abilities and could affect the psychology of humans if they wanted
to.

The fairies are described as creatures who loved to play tricks on humans. These
tricks could be harmless or maybe even deadly, hence people used to keep
themselves safe by using various protective materials.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are tricks the fairies pulled:

~kidnap kids from their cribs

~led travelers astray to dangerous routes
~stole important things from the houses
~disappear without leaving a trace
~made people go insane by showing unreal things
~used to destroy relationships by pitting people against each other
~crediting for bringing famines, droughts, and all sorts of sicknesses to the
region
~destroying natural beauty and sites on wonder
~made children cry at night for no reason and when the mother got up, the child
used to stop crying
~ruining the beautiful wedding dresses of the brides just because they were
jealous
Fairies have haunted humans since the start of time; hence their
abilities of fairies are still a mystery to man but we can assume that
they were very powerful and dangerous. Some might also argue that
the fairies were made of light and that is why had the power to
control the sun.
