Faerie. Not "fairy". Fairy's are pixies like Tinkerbell and benevolent. Faeries are Sidhe and often malevolent. Both words have different etymological roots, "fairy" coming from Latin and "Faerie" coming from Gaelic

​​@@davek89666well, if one ascribes to the Italo-Celtic sub-grouping within the Indo-European languages, then both would most likely derive from a shared root. Also, I'd wager that given the phonemic similarity between the two language groups, that there may even be a PIE root, or possibly a Centum-PIE-split root for the concept or related phenomenon. Edit: upon some basic initial research, (read: googling) It appears as if Fairy comes to English from Latin via Old French Fae, and Faerie enters in the 16th Century Via Spencer as an Pseudo-Archaism.

I recognize a similarity between that Welsh story of the woman leaving her husband and a Japanese one: A man is saved in a snow storm by a beautiful woman. She spares his life and says that if he tells anyone what happened, she will return to kill him. Later on, he marries another beautiful woman. Years go by and they have children (I believe they have three children as well), until one night he begins reminiscing to her as their children sleep. He is reminded by the woman's appearance from his wife. His wife reveals herself to be the woman in the snow, and cannot bring herself to kill him, so she resorts to leave.

It's fascinating how certain beings/creatures that were originally considered quite malevolant by pre Christian & early Christian societies evolved in pop culture as child friendly fantasy. Mermaids, Unicorns, Faeries(The Fae), Elves, etc. My inro to faeries was probably Disney? You mentioned Tinkerbell & there was also Cinderella with a Fairy Godmother & Pinochio had The Blue Fairy.

Actually there were two kinds of faeries, the seelie and unseelie court. Faeries as I understand it were forces of nature, part of the balance, and chaotic or wild creatures, not specifically malevolent, but had tempers and when they didn't receive consideration they were known to punish that treatment of them.

Or maybe the fae folk are as individual as human beings and also have many of the same flaws? Or maybe it’s like American hunters who go out killing animals for fun but when one acts defensive they call them ‘aggressive’. So any negative interactions for any reason were just blamed on the fae?

I have a great knack for finding four leaf clovers. I’ve found hundreds & hundreds over the years, no exaggeration. At one place I lived there was a three by three patch of grass & clovers that was always filled with four leaf & even five & six leaf clovers. I collected hundreds there alone over the two years I lived there. Anyway as a kid I would dig under every four leaf clover I found searching for the leprechaun underneath. I swear as a kid I saw one once (I mean kid self me swore I did). I was amazed by leprechauns but I never believed the teachers in school when the school leprechaun messed up the room. I believed they played little tricks on us individually instead & I often thought they were messing with me.

I'm as well . I often see faeries on old photographs among vegetation ; usually flowers. And sometimes buzzing around amongst dragon flies and hummingbirds. I always get a good FEELING when I think of faeries; I believe they are inherently good and get a bad rap from giving "Bad guys" what's theirs. Like destroyers of Mother nature getting their just desserts. They flit and zip around just a bit differently than Any other flying creature and are protective of children and some of those that really believe! I also believe they can inter-dimensionally travel and shapeshifter into other small creatures; other magical tiny creatures, animals and insects...The Spanish book " El Labrinto del Pan " with English sub-titles is a great film! The faeries aren't so beautiful by human standards but are so magical and beautiful in helping an abused CHILD...

Enjoyed the episode and can certainly appreciate the effort you took to produce it. I can't cite the source ("The Mabinogion"?) but I distinctly remember reading a story about Queen Mab being the reason Caridwen's son , Morvan, was so hideous. (Don't remember if Mab used magic to make him hideous or if Morvan was a changeling). I just remember Mab was in a snit. Since I was researching Taliesin I didn't pay close attention to Morvan's backstory. As Shakespeare often "borrowed" plots & stories, it's not a stretch to imagine he might have heard or read about Queen Mab prior to his mentioning her in "Romeo and Juliet". Do we know where Shelley first heard about Queen Mab?

As drawn to mythology as I have been my whole life, I NEVER felt drawn to fairies! I was raised catholic which may have something to do with that? Also American and I don't think they are talked about as much here other than Tinkerbell. But I remember the first time I saw a mushroom circle one foggy early morning. I was in awe. But still, I wasn't thinking fairies. More like...just another world or relm. But as a witch you hear about fairies quite a bit and just as I do with dieties, I retain the information but it doesn't pertain to me. Or....so I thought. A couple weeks ago I was actually watching a funny video where another witch had asked "What are the craziest things you were told as a new witch?" She was reading the answers and commenting on them, and something was said about fairies. Something about gifting/offerings to fairies. The witch replied "I've never been drawn to fairies myself, I know almost nothing about them, but even I know that you NEVER accept a gift from a faerie!" - I did not know that. And something just.... clicked. And I wanted to learn more. Not from some random people talking about them, but something exactly like THIS video. Well researched. The lore, what people actually have been saying about them for thousands of years, from people who have this so ingrained in their culture. Now I can't get enough and I truly truly in my heart know that they exist. And when I heard they made a video on DRAGONS?!?!?! Well... I surprised my teacher in 4th grade when we were assigned to make a 4D castle craft and bring it in to present and be graded. I did as much research as much as an 8-9 year old could do (in an age where it was not yet required to have a computer in your home). I always loved Dragons and felt so drawn to them and believed them to be real at a very young age..when I was researching them I discovered Wyverns which I was extraordinarily drawn to as well. So I added one to my castle. But my teacher asked me where the dragons other legs were, to which I replied "Ms. Cox, it's a Wyvern and they only have two legs!" She was quite confused and did a quick search to discover what I had read in a library book. I don't think she was expecting to learn something from an 8 year old about the lesson she was teaching 😂 To anyone who took the time to read all of that, just remember to trust your gut and if you feel like you're being pulled toward learning about something, enlighten yourself!

The only example I can think of in the Zelda series of fairies giving physical items is in Link to the Past where a specific fairy fountain upgrades items that you throw into it. This is refined in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom where the Great Fairies upgrade your clothing. That specific instance is based on an (I think originally Greek) story about a woodsman who drops his axe into a pool, and the nymph who lives there offers him a silver or gold axe. When he honestly answers that they aren't the axe he lost, she rewards him by letting him keep all three. So there's nothing to do with traditional fairy folklore in that usage. (There's also the Great Fairy Sword in Majora's Mask, but that feels like a pure video game invention)

I recall a reference to that in one of the Gameboy Zelda games! At least, I think it was, although I can't remember which one. If I remember correctly, there is a hidden cave with a pool in the centre, and I think a sign hints at you to throw a bomb in the water? When you do so, a fairy pops out and asks if you threw in a regular bomb, a silver bomb, or a golden bomb. I don't remember exactly what happens if you lie; I think you get attacked and lose rupees (it has been years since I played it)? But if you tell the truth, she upgrades the size of your bomb bag. I had no idea it was based on actual folklore, that's really fun!

Watching this made me recognise the notable fairy inspirations that Brandon Sanderson draws on for the 'spren' creatures in his Stormlight Archives series! Similar to fairies, spren are bound by rules made between them and humans, and they will leave you by cause of those rules. Most notably, some spren can take the form of small humans who float without the use of wings. Spren also have correlations with eastern folklore, and it's great to see how he used aspects from each mythology to create something entirely unique!

For the tooth fairy (She) is known in Germany as “Zahnfee” (tooth fairy) known for the same things as in England (but at least in my family she is not really described but more carried by other descriptions of fairy’s) in my imaginations she is a white coloured fairy with wings, she’s got a bag where she keeps the teeth and one with coins (which transform into the correct amount of money under the pillow) she is able to change her own size to fit into smaller spaces but is mostly in her pretty much human (child) sized form. She mostly works alone on outside missions but got a Treebase in the woods where she has some helpers mostly male. Thanks to this video I actually thought a bit more of my own image of the tooth fairy and it’s quite interesting Love this type of content and even more your voices

In regards to holding on to an enemy while they shapeshift, in Tolkien as the mortal Beren is being rescued a massive hound holds Sauron by the throat as he tries to shapeshift in an attempt to escape the hounds grip. It’s fun to hear some of the potential sources that may have helped serve as Tolkiens inspiration for some things.

Reminds me of Philomena Cunk on Santa. "Santa has a list of good and bad children. The good children will get lots of presents, and, it turns out, so will the bad children. In fact, the ones that won't get very much are the poor children. That's because Santa judges a child's goodness largely on parental income."

@1:16:01 On the subject as to why a brownie may take offence to direct compensation/reward for being themselves, I think it’s because they don’t deal in tangible transactions. They deal in emotions. They do what they do for two reasons; love/nurturing/appreciation and mutual benefit. They care for you and your home as a family member would and expect to be treated as such, so to them the relationship is sullied by a direct transactional reward, you can give them meaningful, emotional gifts and make an effort to get things for your home and pantry that they’ll like, the same way you would for any other family member, but to be rewarded or paid for their presence and efforts to be a good family household member is like indirectly calling them a servant, which most people would take offence to in such circumstances. It’s a “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” situation, similar to cats and dogs, but Brownies know that if someone pays you to scratch their back, they have no intention of scratching yours.

This idea that "people believed in this stuff more in the past" is really interesting. It's an unfalsifiable idea that creates permission to continue passing these stories around more as a matter of heritage than something anyone ever actually much believed in. You see something similar carrying on to today as a sort of explanation for why it is things like gods used to communicate with people in the past but no longer appear to. It also ties into that obnoxious reverence for the past many people seem to carry around. As though those past people were much more spiritually aware/tuned into nature/ritually pure or whatever.

Let me show you something, in Irish, Macalla means Echo, in Hebrew, its Bat-Kol, mac means Son, as bat means Daughter in Hebrew, alla is Shout, and Kol is Voice, as Bat-Kol spells Voice of the Daughter, Macalla means Son of the Cliff, oldest mother goddess was known as the Mountainous Uras, wife of the Sky God Anu, Bat-Kol is associated with "Voice of God", and the Cliff you find on the side of a mountain. To hear the voice of god, culu your words, it means play them in reverse. The Golden Gate of the Gods is found in Sagittarius, the center of our galaxy, The Silver Gate of Man is found between Gemini and Taurus, Orion stands in the center. Have you ever listen to their names played back in reverse? Play "Say There Is A Guest" in reverse, you hear it Echo, Sagittarius, known as Pabilsag, his name means "Chief Ancestor", known as the father of the dying and rising god of rebirth, called Damu, he was associated with the head of Draco, the seed cup hanging on the world plough, called the Swine Star. Damu means Blood, Brother and Relative. Would the Guest be "The Swine Star" Damu. Play "Say Oath, They All Rule, Beyond The Mist" in reverse, you hear it echo "Gemini, Orion, Taurus", the echo of the Sliver Gate of Man, now lets use their months. "Her Message, Say There Is A Guest", it echoes "Sagittarius, December", now play "Yam, Say Oath, Newest, Beyond The Mist, They All Rule", they echo "Orion, Gemini, June, Taurus, May" Yam is from Yama, it means Twin, Yama was sacrificed by Manu "First Man", his body was used to create the world a mankind, Yam, Yama is God of the Dead, as is Osiris (Orion) God of the Dead. Haya means Grain, Draco gets his name from Dagon the fish head grain god, inventor the plow, Damu is not the Cup, Damu is in the Cup, Haya is the God of Scribes, known as the Door-Keeper, his name found in Hatysa, meaning Slaughter, Gohatya means Cow Killer, the bright star at the tip of Orion's Sword, in Hebrew, haat means 'to sin, yasa means 'savior', Hatysa read backwards "Savior of Sinners", play Hatysa in reverse, it echoes "iosa" the Irish name of Jesus. Hatysa is found on the Thigh of Orion, Sagittarius is known as the Hips and Thighs. Puller of the plough was Ursa Major, but was also known as Thigh of the Ox Leg. In Sumerian, Ur means Dog, Ursa Minor was known as the Dog's Tail, consort to the Ox leg is Taweret "The Great One", associated with Draco. The goddess Taweret, portrayed as a bipedal hippopotamus with limbs like those of a Lion. Her hand rests on the sa sign, 𓎃, a hieroglyph that means 'protection' or 'lifesaver', or a Hatysa. North of the gates, is the Lion Man, the gate keeper, the bull slayer. "Her Mithras, Boy/Girl" played in reverse will echo "Virgo, September" Look at that, "boy girl' echoes Virgo, Latin for Virgin, ah but 'vir' is Latin for Man, gin is from 'gyne', Greek for Woman, the word Virgin hides Man/Woman, like Virgo hides Boy/Girl. "Way, I'll Open It, So They Go, See God", played in reverse they echo "August, Regulus, Denebola, Leo". Who made the heavens speak this way, what I revealed was a tiny bit, I only showed you the gates, I didn't show you the scary stuff, or how it all works, maybe later, its 420.
