| Fairies,
Fairies are generally described as human in appearance and having magical powers.Much of the folklore about fairies revolves around protection from their malice, by such means as cold iron (iron is like poison to fairies, and they will not go near it) or charms of rowan and herbs, or avoiding offense by shunning locations known to be theirs. In particular, folklore describes how to prevent the fairies from stealing babies and substituting changelings, and abducting older people as well. Although in modern culture they are often depicted as young, sometimes winged, humanoids of small stature, they originally were depicted much differently: tall, radiant, angelic beings or short, wizened trolls being some of the commonly mentioned. These have been depicted as ranging in size from very tiny up to the size of a human child.Various animals have also been described as fairies. Sometimes this is the result of shape shifting on part of the fairy.  | |
