What is a Fairy?

Posted in Mixed Bag Wednesday, 22 October 2008 at 6:22 pm by Kate

According to one dictionary, a Fairy is an imaginary being who is supposed to have magical powers.
A faery is a small being that has wings such as butterfly wings, dragonfly wings etc..
Fairies are said to have magical powers, such as the ability to change the seasons, weather, or other features of nature. Where did the word “Fairy” come from?

Fairy comes from Faerie (French) Faerie comes from Fa’ae (Gallic) Fa’ae comes from Fata (Latin, meaning the fates) Fa’ae or fae or fay all mean about the same thing: a group of special magical beings that look a little human with powers that go from good to evil.

The Fairy Handbook tells us that most fairies are delightful magical spirits with likenesses and kinship to flowers, insects, and other small creatures. Fairies are problem solvers, helpers, fixers, and protectors of nature. They get along well with gnomes and most other living things. Fairy spirits are given to select girls at the moment of their birth. When they are old enough to handle the responsibility that comes with being a fairy, young girls are told about their fairy spirits, and are guided by fairy mentors (usually older fairies) to learn how to use their powers and gifts in accordance with their job as fairies.
