Description
I love Celtic folklore and its varied creatures, however I thought it was appropriate to choose the most characteristic of Ireland and one of the most beautiful, the fairies.
A fairy is a mythical, magical creature. Most fairies in stories are described as looking like tiny humans with wings.
Fairies show up in fables, myths, and fairy tales, usually as kind and lovely creatures with magical powers, although sometimes fairies are mischievous or even spiteful. In the folklore of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, a fairy was actually a malicious spirit. The earliest spelling was faerie, which meant both "the home of supernatural creatures" and "something incredible or fictitious," from the Latin fata, "the Fates."
