A fairy is a tiny being with wings such as butterfly wings, dragonfly wings, that looks like a person. They are said to have magical powers, such as the ability to change the seasons, weather, or other aspects of nature.
Fairies move swiftly and can become invisible blending into the woods. They wear green clothes and tend to live on hills, in woody dells, underwater or the Otherworld where they frequently war with insects and reptiles. Fairies eat fruit and are capable of producing things like shoes and bows. They enjoy music and dancing and love to play tricks and brawl with each other. Capable of taking human lovers, fairies have been known to enchant humans and trap them in the fairy realm. More frequently, they just steal household items.
Fairies are rarely seen by humans. There are a few tricks one can use in order to see them: * Legend says that if you pick a four leaf clover and lie quietly in a field, you will soon be surrounded with dancing fairies. * You can also look for a stone that has a hole naturally bored into it by running water. Just look through the hole and you will see fairies. Fairies are said to appear most frequently on the high days of the Celtic calendar. Beltane (May Eve), when they fight; Midsummer Eve, when they celebrate; and Samhain (November Eve) when they dance with ghosts and lament the coming of winter.
