Do You Believe in Magic Fairies? Some Reflection on the Background of Faery History and Lore

So what, or who, are fairies? Are fairy tales real?

Fairy tales have been handed on from generation to generation, through the quite mutterings of magic creatures who come to us both day and night.

Fairies can be found in magical locations around the world. They are quite small and very powerful, to the point that they can transform themselves to look like us.

The live in very different habitats, from dark forests, to lakes, to meadows and flowery gardens.

We know them by different names - pixies, fairies, gnomes, elves, nymphs, sylphs, undines and sprites.

It doesn't matter where you live in the world, fairy tales have been with us since the dawn of time. This seems to back up the idea that faeries are real, and that they used to play a far more significant role in our day to day lives than they do now. Could it be that with their habitats changing, that average faery is harder to find?

Ireland has leprechauns, Britain has brownies and Germany has the kobold, but most of us will have a garden fairy in our very own yard.

In faerie law, we know that fairies are mainly charitable to mankind. They are also known to be a bit naughty. They are playful and love to play tricks on us mortals. It is important that you speak well of them and treat them with respect. If you don't, you run the risk of making them angry. one of the easiest things to do to make friends with real fairies is to leave little gifts for them such as beads and special sweet treats.

I like to make treats for myself and the kids, and leave a little for the garden fairies who gather in our fairy garden. It's been working so far - lots of happiness and laughter exists at our house.
