Definition Of Faeries
Faerie
From The Latin Term For "Fate" (Fata)
Faeries (Or Fairies) Are A "Host Of Supernatural Beings And Spirits Who Occupy A Limbo Between Earth And Heaven"
This Is In Recognition Of The Skill Faeries Had In Predicting And Even Controlling Human Destiny
Faeries Could Be Either Good Or Evil Creatures
And At Various Points In History Have Been Confused With Witches And Demons
Fairies Are Small Supernatural Creatures Of Human Form
They Live In Everyday Surroundings
They Are Generally Thought To Be Beneficial To Humans
However, They Are Known To Play Pranks And It Is Best To Treat Them With Respect
They Are Small, Beautiful, Airy, Nearly Transparent In Body, And Can Assume Any Form

Fairy Superstitions
Ancient Arrowheads
Called Elf Stones Are Used As A Charm To Guard Cattle
People Born In The Morning Can't See Spirits Or The Fairy World
But Those Born At Night Can See The Spirits Of The Dead
Eggshells Are Favorite Fairy Homes, Please Don Not Break Them
In A Fairy Ring, Never Eat Or Drink What Is Offered To You

If You See A Fairy Ring
In A Field Of Grass
Very Ligtly Step Around
Tip Toe As You Pass
Last Night Fairies Frolicked There
And They're Sleeping Somewhere Near
If You See A Tiny Fairy
Lying Fast Asleep
Shut Your Eyes
And Run Away
Do Not Stay To Peek
Do Not Tell
Or You'll Break A Fairie Spell
