Fauna from East
                                     

What is it? 

  Faeries are usually thought of as small, shiny beings, with great charms and tinkly voices. This could be true, but according to mythology, faeries can range from small creatures to large, human-sized beings. Often, they are given names such as “the wee folk” or just, simply put, “they”. Faeries are usually seen most frequently on the British Isles. 

  More famous faeries are the Daoine Sidhe of Ireland. They are strikingly beautiful, and are of human size. They are devoted to hunting, riding and fighting. Humbler faeries are smaller sized. Some of these faeries are attached to places, areas, or families. They are supposed to protect the family they are in charge of, and can be heard weeping when something bad happens. 

 Some faeries take human babies away, and replace them with their talented babies, called changelings. Also, time spent with faeries is sped up at an alarming rate in the “real” world. There have been tales of people having large and extravagant feasts with faeries, only to find themselves in worlds several hundred years later when they return home. 

  However, not all faeries are good, kind-hearted souls. Some, like goblins and trolls, are evil, or just mischievous, and can wreck havoc. Some even took their victims to the water, drowned them, and devoured them. 

What could it be?           

  Faeries could be the relatively modern idea of gods, deities that came to the British Isles  many years back. Also, the Daoine Sidhe are supposed to be the race that supposedly went underground when the Celts came. Also, faeries are afraid of iron, which ties in with the fact that the Celts were the ones who introduced iron to Britain. 

Scientific explanations

  There are no scientific explanations for faeries, but it is widely believed by scientists to be a hoax, although faeries have their scientist advocates.

Conclusion 

  Faeries may be real. Maybe they’re fake too. One of the most famous faery photos have been admitted to be fake. Only time will tell whether others will confess, or keep to their own secrets.
