Fae, faerie, faery, fey, fay. There are a millions ways to spell it, but they all fall under the same topic, Fae. I myself am a faerie, and i have to warn you right now there are many MANY diffrent kinds of fae. And its very confusing, so please try to hang on here.
First thing is, just because something is called "Fae" doesn't mean they are the actual winged kind creature everyone always thinks they are.
"Fae" is the name for millions of categories of creatures. Fae range all the way from the regular faerie (the winged creature) to gnomes or goblines. By me saying this, you can tell how big the range of speices that are listed as Fae are.
I said that wikipedia is NOT good, but this page will give you a lot of information about faeries. This one page gives you info on faeries (the winged creature) not mermaids, dryrads, or naiads.
So here is the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy
It covers almost everything on faeries. It even covers religion, and what people believe. Most people say that faeries are not in the catholic religion, this is were they're wrong. Faeries are believed to be Demoted Angels. They are to bad for heaven, yet to good for hell. So, they get stuck on earth, and this is were the legends cam from about faeries being so close to nature. Because when the faeries got trapped on earth, they took care of nature and "became one with it."
This blog entry is sort of like a crash course, because there is a lot, and i mean A LOT of information if you want to cover all of the Fae categories. And this is what im going to do, if anyone has any questions: What are the other types of Fae? Can you go a little more into detail? A little more into the magickal explanation?
Yes, i'd love to answer any questions, but you have to ask them. ^ _ ^ Any questions, please comment, and i will have a entry answering your questions soon. :)
