Are Fairies born or created? Can Fae have kids? Can fairies breed with humans? How do you date a fairy? Do fairies have feelings? What are fairies scared of? In most versions the humans reconcile themselves to their unwanted housemates, often giving up the move entirely. In the Shropshire version, the humans take matters to their logical conclusion.

Some other nymphocides at least seem to be crimes of passion or are committed in the heat of the moment or in self defence. On the Hebridean island of Benbecula a mermaid was accidentally slain by a stone thrown at her head during an attempt by some fishermen to capture her. In the ballad, Lady Isabel and the Elf-knight, the heroine lulls to sleep the fairy who plans to kill her and then stabs him to death; in another version she drowns him- but the ability to kill is the point.

Campbell relays a story concerning the killing of a gruagach with a sword Popular tales of the west Highlands , vol. We know that iron is a good defence against fairies and it seems only reasonable that it should be fatal for them too. This evidence may surprise and shock some readers, but it fits with the general tenor of traditional fairy lore.

If the fairies are dangerous and untrustworthy beings, it seems inevitable that sometimes a person will conclude that the only safe and permanent solution will be to do away with the perceived threat. Perhaps this will be the subject of a future posting….

An expanded version of this text will appear in my next book, Faeries , which will be published by Llewellyn Worldwide next year. You are commenting using your WordPress. In addition to the fictional fairy character created by J. Barrie , the franchise introduces many new characters and their home of Pixie Hollow , and expands substantially upon the limited information the author gave about the fairies in Never Land.

The characters are sometimes referred to as "Never Fairies". The franchise includes a line of Disney Fairies books , graphic novels, a web site , and a series of Tinker Bell films featuring the famous character and several of the Disney fairies as supporting characters. Much like the story of Peter Pan with the play version and the novel version fighting for primary status, and a couple movie versions probably trumping them both , there is something of a conflict between the various media in which the Disney Fairies appear.

The books were released first, and give an earthy, organic presentation to the fairies, decorating them in flower petals and other bits of nature. With a few tent-pole books and lots of chapter books, they introduce a host of characters, with Tinker Bell often reduced to a supporting character.

The digitally-animated movies came later, and focus on Tink as the box-office star. Rather than developing the same "best friends of Tink" supporting cast from the books, they raise a handful of fairies who received less attention in the books to "best friend" status, and the digital animation gives the whole world all brighter, slicker, more sparkly feel.

As the updated logo reflects, with more money at stake and more people involved, the franchise has become "more Disney". Tinker Bell had originally been included in the company's "Disney Pricesses" franchise, which was built around the theme that so many of Disney's female protagnoists were princesses or princess-like. Including Tink only made sense if you weren't familiar with the character; Barrie specifically described her as being "common", and she never set her sights on a prince.

Even Disney's version was less than lady-like. Well, there are different sorts of fairies, there are air fairies, water fairies, earth fairies. So they represent different things by what different type they are, but some fairies are just normal fairies that don't represent anything really.

Woodland fairies are called sprites. Water fairies are nymphs, and regular fairies are called fairies. Fairies do not exist and it is impossible to become a fairy. He doesn't. It is Titania who orders the fairies around, saying things like "Fairies, skip hence" and "Fairies, away.

The collective noun for fairy is a herd of fairies. A collective noun for 'mystical fairies' is a 'frolic of fairies'. Fairies are deffinetly not real. But butterflies are like fairies.
