Does a real fairy exist? Are Fairies Real? - Of course." Fairies are nature spirits that love all forest plant life, but they are particularly fond of flowers. The Fairies of today are believed to be small, delicate and very feminine. While most people can't see them, some do, especially children. Some people see actual fairies, and some see a white misty shape, other people see colored lights and some sense their presence. They like to live near meadows or gardens or in a fairyland. They do interact with humans sometimes, but with only good intentions. These are difficult times for the spirits that guard our gardens and plants. Humans destroy our woodlands and meadows to build large homes and shopping malls. The garden or meadow with its natural beauty is the chosen place for fairies to live. They live in and under loved, nurtured and well-maintained garden. The fairies help the flowers to bloom in many fantastic colors. They enhance the fragrance of the flowers so all can enjoy. Fairies usually come out to play at sunrise and or sunset or later at night. You might see a magic fairy circle, which is ringed by mushrooms in rainbow colors. Folklore states that fairies must know that you believe in fairies and their magic before they are willing to show themselves. If you are

motionless and whisper to them in a sing-song voice, they might appear to you as they are very shy. They like playing fairy games, singing and dancing. Fairy magic is a special talent that is seldom used. You must never ask a fairy to do a magic trick. If you ask, they will probably run away to hide. Once you make friends, sometimes a wish will be granted for a relative or friend, but only if you ask nicely and are a caring person. They respond to those that put the needs and wishes of others before their own. Early Fairy History shows that the belief in the existence of fairies was first known and is based on the fae of medieval Western European folklore. Fairies history often identifies a variety of other beings from other mythologies. Fairy History shows some of the theories that speculate on the origins of these fantastic little creatures: 1. They are souls caught up in a nether land, not good enough to enter heaven, nor bad enough to deserve hell. Such a place is frequently referred to as limbo. 2. These creatures are the fallen angels. They were among the angels loyal to Lucifer. They were cast out of heaven with him to plunge into hell, but suddenly God stopped them in mid-flight and condemned them to remain where they were. Some were in the air, some in the earth and some in the seas and rivers. Such belief is widespread in folklore of Ireland, Scotland, and Scandinavia. 3. They are nature spirits. Somewhat analogous to the fallen-angel theory, this theory holds that they are among the many spirits that populate all things and places in the earth. 4. They are diminutive human beings. There is evidence that small-structured races populated parts of Europe and the British Isles in the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, before the spread of the Celts. In Ireland, they were known as the Thuathe de Danaan. Belief in these mystical creatures is thought to exist in almost every culture throughout Fairy History and is most prevalent in Europe and the British Isles. This belief spread to America during the colonization period and is still strong in the Appalachians, Ozarks, and other remote mountainous regions. Originally the elusive nature of these races were regarded with suspicion by larger races. Belief in them was thought to be superstitious. However, gradually more people began endowing these little people with magical characteristics. The races such as the Lapps, Picts and Romano-British-Iberian peoples, were not so small as to be unable to mingle with the Celts, Normans and Saxons. Although many became servants and serfs, others

married and mixed bloodlines. Until the 13th century, having fairy blood was admired. Fairy History literature about these creatures was very common from the Middle Ages on. They appear in the writings of the English poet Edmund Spenser, The Dane Hans Christian Andersen, the Italians Matteo Boiardo and Ludovico Ariosto,the Frenchman Charles Perrault and many others.
