Your ideas about faeries...

Had I been ten, I would have been clapping furiously to counter act the effects of the above remark. Faeries disappear with such comments, their grip on existence being wholly dependent on our belief in them.

It's interesting.

Living in the dark for so much of the year must have benefits for the imagination, being geographically remote has advantages for keeping away homogenising forces. The Icelandic community retained a purity of their beliefs unheard of in most of the latinised west. Their folklore is fascinating.

*clap clap clap*...

Nope, no faeries...



All kidding aside I do believe in Faeries.

Why not!

Oops there sas more to this post but I lost the link. BRB to post more.

Tut, tut. They don't appear when you clap, sadly. Clapping merely prevents their death when others state that they don't exist. It is like faery CPR

The Tuatha De Dannan (Loosely translated means " People of Knowledge") were a race of people associated with faeries in Ireland.

Tuatha De Danann actually means "People of the Goddess Danu."

As you can see, Faeries are many and varied. In fact, in Irish folklore alone, one can find descriptions of things that sound like Norse aliens, Bigfoot, Ghosts or shadow people and even chupacabras.

Could you give some sources or elaborate on this? I'm a bit of a mythology buff(especially Irish/gaelic), and can't think of anything like chupacabras, bigfoot, shadow people, or Norse aliens. I'd love to read something that I missed.
