Myths and stories about fairies do not have a single origin, but are rather a collection of folk beliefs from disparate sources (including Celtic, Slavic, German, English, and French folklore). Various folk theories about the origins of fairies include casting them as either demoted angels or demons in a Christian tradition, as minor deities in Pagan belief systems, as spirits of the dead, as prehistoric precursors to humans, or as elementals. However, in reality a fairy (also fay, fae, fair folk) is a metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural corporeal spirit. Wild and unpredictable, they are like humans, emotional and impulsive, but to incredible degrees. Unlike most humans, all fairies have innate and powerful magical wielding capabilities. This type of fairy magic is often referred to as glamour. | Myths and stories about fairies do not have a single origin, but are rather a collection of folk beliefs from disparate sources (including Celtic, Slavic, German, English, and French folklore).
