WHAT DO YOU THINK OF FAIRIES WHEN SOME ONE ASKS?
Some people when some one asks them what fairies mean they usually think they are small and nice etc. well they are not for the fairies some are very tall or very small. Some are the ugliest and some are beautiful. Evil than any thing in the world. For what I ‘m saying don’t go looking for them if you don’t know any thing about them.
The fairies are one of the most real things in the world. Which in the whole world there have been stories of them in Africa, Europe, Asia, the Americas and many other continents?
England: brownies, buccas, and pixies France: goblins and ankuo Germany: kobolds and nixies Scandinavia: elves and trolls Hawaii: includes stories about dwarfs called menehune, who work at night. Japan: includes stories about of “water demon” known as the kapper. Africa: abatwa, yumboes, and bakhna rakhna China: hu hsien Den mark: ellerkong
The Spanish word hada comes from the Latin fata which, in turn, derived from fatum, meaning fate or destiny. In the middle ages, it was defined by the gentiles as a divinity or unknown force which had a fascinating effect on the other divinities and on men and events. The French word fee has a similar origin and resulted in the English words fey and fairie which, as time went by, suffered spelling variations from fayerye, fayre, farrie, faery and fairy. According to its ethimology, it is a fantastic being pictured as a women known to have magical powers. For the Saxons, the word ferie refers to the world of fairies as an entity, being a geographical location. In Spanish it turned out to be feerico. Depicting something wonderful or fantastic, as applied for example to musica feerica {fairy music}
In the olden times, when the fairies’ numbers were far greater and their powers far more potent, people were certainly wary of them, even afraid of them. Fairies have a strong code and are easily offended. The common people were worried about the magical mischief they might have to endure should they say or do something to insult or hurt the fairies. They gave them names like The Gentry and The Good People and such, especially when they spoke outdoors. Because they knew that the wind carries every voice to the fairies’ ears, and people hoped that if they spoke of the fairies respectfully, they would enjoy the goodwill of their powerful, elusive neighbors. Women are more likely to be carried off because men are more likely to sleep with a fairie. So for a fairie male to get his object of desire, he will just carry her off. Also they will also carry some one off who they desire. 1. never put both feet in a fairy ring 2. Never take food, drink or flowers, no matter how politely they offered. Those who do remain captive in fairy land. 3. it is wise to have the last word in a conversation with them. Often, such talk ends up becoming a rhyme, and if so then you had best rhyme your answers to each point they make. They respect this sort of courage and cleverness.
