Your Basic Fairy Primer


A still from a video of about 18 fairies taken by Da-da in his backyard. Though this
was taken through a screen, they actually twinkled like that, in silvers and golds.

While we're all waiting and transforming, we thought some of you might be interested in this. We saw some questions in the comments on Lynn and Da-da's latest Five for Friday and wanted to chime in about fairies. Yes, there really are fairies and elves and minehunes and leprecauns and all sorts of elementals. In terms of fairies, several of us have firsthand experience with our "Good Friends" (how fairies like to be referred, they hate the name "fae" as it sounds like 'fey' which means 'doomed to die' in the old UK variants). All of the information below is our actual knowledge of fairies, based on direct firsthand observation, it's not an opinion or something we've read in books.

Note: We were granted permission to use the above photo (by the fairies themselves), but they asked that we please delete the video. In it, they twinkled just like Disney fairies.
