All About Fairies

People generally describe any super natural power with fairies
and gnomes. These supernatural being and sprite is also called
with other names in folkloristic traditions such as wee folk,
fair folk, good folk, people who gives peace, etc.

These are imaginary things that people believe that they come
to this world to protect and destroy the meanness and jealous
in human beings. This modern era has gave fairy an image and
describe it to be very young, beautiful with wings wearing
a white frock and holding a star stick in their hands.

Moreover, they appear similar to that of humans. However,
few of them describes them as tall, angelic, beaming, wizened
troll, etc. These are the two ways in which people image the
fairies to be.

Celtic people have described these fairies as the tiny individuals.

These individual are driven into concealment by the invading
beings
Fairies are generally described as the living things which look
similar to that of human beings but have magical ability. The
folklore describes this as completely different species who
does not appear as human beings or angels but they are the
dead people turned into devil or sprite.

The word fairy has emerged from the English folklore and later
with the blend of Germanic elves and with the influence of
French folklores these are defined as tiny species and eventually
they are now familiarly known as fairy tales by the youngsters.

These creatures are called as fairy in all the other cultures
too. These fairies are having their own historic origin in
middle French medieval romances which a knight-errant has come
across. This fairy name is used to describe the enchanted beings,
since Middle English period.

These fairies are being changed as what we understood today
in the romanticism literature during the Victorian era. Many
of the famous writers has used fairy as the being with magical
abilities in their stories. This has inspired and still inspiring
many kids today.

Most of the kid’s stories available in the market today are
of fairy tales.
According to folklorists they origin of these fairies may be
lying in the conquered race or it may be a religious belief
which has lost its validity with the emerging of Christianity.

However, these fairies do not have their own origin this has
emerged from folk beliefs, shaped by the writers, and learned
speculation. If we observe the folklore we can see them as
natural but indefinite species such as spirits of the dead
ancestors.

Few people describe them as angel and few as devils.
Fairies look alike as human but have supernatural power. Their
origin has not clearly described in the folklore but their
diversely looked as indefinite species or species who does
not come into human category or angels.

However, these fairies are described as the combination of
Celtic, Germanic and Greco-Roman elements.

Earlier people use to worship fairies as minor goddesses like
nymphs or tree spirits. With the existence of Christianity,
the belief about these fairies in people mind has been diminished.

The beings described as Goddesses in the earlier tales are known
describing them as fairies in the same stories. If we observe
the Irish tales, we can see that the author is described the
creatures as fairies, it means that in ancient days they use
to describe them as deities.

Here the author has described that they have come from the
island that is towards north side of the world and few described
that they came from the sky.
After fighting with some non-natural beings and with the ancestors
of the Irish people, they were buried in the fairy mounds.
