The belief in fairies and other supernatural beings – Part 8

Faries-are they real or just childhood fanasty? Personally I do believe in faries a milions of people do. Faires have been recorded throughout history. In apperance faries are often describe as small and human like with colorful wings and sometimes carrying a magic wand. They sometimes have waist long light color hair. But always they are depicted as having supernatural powers(such as the power to fly, heal, ect.)

Changleings are fairy babies that have been left in place of a human one. Faries are often placed in the catergories of the undead or some form of an angel. It is dangerous to eat food in Fairyland and in Hades. Eating the fairy food can trap one in fairyland or Hades. Some returned three centuries later: others were to remiand there forever. One can even try to summon a fairy by this simple poem from Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book:

Sit where the cat sits.

Cross your toes.

Close your eyes.

And smell a rose.

Then say under your breath:

“I believe in fairies,

sure as death.”

Gadflykins! Gladtrypins!

Gutterpuss and Cass!

Come to me fairily

Each lad and lass!
