The Fairy/Wee Folk Thread

[Man in Black]

The following description of Fairies was taken from This Wikipedia Article

A fairy (fey or fae or faerie; collectively wee folk, good folk, people of peace, and other euphemisms) is a spirit or supernatural being.

The fairy is based on the fae of medieval Western European (Old French) folklore and romance. Fairies are often identified with related beings of other mythologies. Even in folkore that uses the term "fairy," there are many definitions of what constitutes a fairy. Sometimes the term is used to describe any magical creature, including goblins or gnomes: at other times, the term only describes a specific type of more ethereal creature.

What, in the world of fantasy, is more magical than a fairy? Who doesn't love Tinkerbell? I personally love the artwork these mystical beings inspire. There are some really fantastic pieces with fairies as the subject.

Yeah there is some strange fascination with faeries huh? And Tink doesn't even talk! Geez! ;D They are going to make a CGI film of her and other faeries soon. Last I heard, it's going to be voiced by Brittany Murphy.

I'm Irish-American, my ancestors the Celts believed in faries, dark faries, so who am I to say they don't exist!
