Spriggans, rooted in Celtic legend, are sinister woodland creatures from Cornwall. They protect historical sites but are notorious for malevolence, including child-stealing, weather manipulation, and agricultural sabotage. #Spriggans #faeries https://connectparanormal.net/2025/03/13/spriggans-guardians-of-the-wild-or-wicked-spirits/

Deeply ingrained in the folklore of Iceland and other Nordic countries, the huldufólk, sometimes known as hidden people, reflect a magical link between the natural world and the invisible domain. #Faeries #fae https://fairyland.blog/post/775917706448896000/hulduf%C3%B3lk

Irish mythology often portrays the Fir Darrig as ugly, in contrast to the more glitzy fairies. Their aged skin and uncomfortable aura about them both add to their remarkable attraction. #Fairies #faeries https://fairyland.blog/post/775460252055470080/fir-darrig-fairies

Linked to the natural and magical settings of Brittany, goric fairies—also known as courils—are an intriguing but mysterious group. #Faeries #Brittany https://fairyland.blog/post/775099270494830592/goric-faeries

Peter Punk by Max was one of my favourite art influences. It changed my perspective on what faeries could be. Fast forward nearly four decades, and now we have... the punk faes! #faeries #punk

Numerous traditions portray faeries as entities that reside beyond the linear confines of time. They frequently attribute their divination skills to this special connection with time and place. #Faeries #divination https://fairyland.blog/post/772921396084998144/faerie-divination-powers

Faeries and hellhounds are an intriguing and understudied folklore pairing of light and evil, playfulness and fear. #hellhounds #faeries https://fairyland.blog/post/772204397141835776/faeries-and-hellhounds

Finished this absolute gem last night.

I guess I would describe this as a historical fairy tale with lots of adventure and romance.

Emily is a grumpy professor off into the wilds in search of faeries, she doesn't relate well to people and just wants to get on with her work. Her colleague and his research students show up. She is forced to make friends in the community. The adventures begin and she is pulled into the Fae world and her colleague/budding love interest and the community try to save her.

The first few chapters of the book, I didn't think I would enjoy it...and then it absolutely enchanted me and I had to read it all. It was a fun story and I likely will buy the next book in the series, just because I have to know what happens next.

Fairies are known for altering reality subtly but powerfully. Their talents to create illusions and bend time and space make them ideal demi-plane builders. #Fairies #faeries https://fairyland.blog/post/771212437000257536/faerie-demi-planes

In the shadowy nooks of enchanted forests, where moonbeams dance through ancient trees, faerie candlemaking is a unique and ethereal occupation. #Faeries #candles https://fairyland.blog/post/769395817006137344/faerie-candle-makers

This is all based on my own interpretation of the historical Scottish folklore books I have read. Other people may understand how the Otherworld works differently than I do.
