@Lucid Dreamer What are you on about? I didn't mention blood magic or animal sacrifice at all. YOU'RE the one who jumped to that conclusion. People nowadays who believe in or work with the fairies can acknowledge them with an act as simple as leaving out an offering of flowers or food. For Beltane (May Day) just a few weeks ago, I made honey cakes and left a few out for the fairies, since tradition says the veil between our world and theirs is very thin at this time of year (and at Samhain/Halloween, too), so it's only thoughtful to leave something out for any of them who may be passing by. Showing reverence could also come through environmental work or being more mindful of one's personal relationship with and impact on nature.

I am from India and we too have fairy related myths in our folklores. My grand-mom says if lucky enough you could see them during dawn, dancing amidst flower plants, it’s believed that some even made contact with humans, she told us how a great grandfather had once made contact with one and had fallen in love with the fairy, it’s believed the fairy frequently made visits to him and had also been with him on his deathbed when he took his last breath.
My daughter saw a fairy in a house in Michigan.. I remember my daughter running and crying to me. I asked her why was she crying and she said she saw a little winged person. That's when she described the fairy wearing gold. My daughter did say the fairy had said "you" to her. That's what scared my daughter. I told her not to be afraid from what she described the fairy sounded beautiful and was probably in disbelief that my daughter could see her.
My oldest daughter when she was little would put out food for the fairies and she made a little natural house hoping to attract them... Her dad never believed me then one day he was out in the yard by himself doing yard work and he came running in the house to me frantic and crazy saying he just saw a farie... Said but I haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing one. I did use to live in a house along the woods and I had a chair that was mine. That I always sat in and I would always find these little moss circles placed on my chair and leading away... I always wondered if it was the fairies leaving the moss circles?
That's so beautiful, it's ashame more of us can't see them...but I guess the human race would wipe them out if we all could see them. Back around 2002 or close too that. My significant other was out in our yard doing yard work and I was in the house with our young kids... understand this is a guy that was a hard Man and didn't believe in anything unless he saw it. He came running up three flights of stairs looking like a maniac could hardly get his words out ...he saw a fairy! It fluttered around him and ended up going into the ground. But that made me so happy that someone like him saw one .so I could say (see ....I told you they were real!) Lol
Both of my grandparents saw one outside our window in the summertime in Virginia. It was small and gold and when my grandparents got close it stood on our windowsill for a moment and flew away once they got too close.
My little sister used to say she would see gnomes or "little men" in our old grandma house, usually in the garden. I never doubted her, but these days I brought this subject up and she didn't remember any of it 'cause at the time she was like 4 or 5 lol. Anyways, who knows? This world is a mistery.
Beliefs their fallen angels are wrong their a part of creation and are kind helpful playful joyful loving magical beings they hide from us from fear in not trusting some humans but others will make friends and build a special bond which all beings must learn like how god taught many of us to do it together working supporting and caring for one another is important old tales are false we must be more open minded towards others and other magical beings that lives in great peace 💙
I grew up learning about fairies. They were taught as mythology but they always fascinated me. When I was young I would put "food" out for the fairies to eat on places I designated as fairy spots. It was fun. I also grew up having my parents read the flower fairy poems by Cicely Mary Barker and my brother and I would always pick which fairy we wanted to be.
I'm starting to believe that these fairytale creatures (dragons, fairies, elves, etc.) actually existed. Cause it doesn't make sense that all these different places from around the world have them all in their culture. Just using different names for them depending on where they from.
have you considered it could be human nature to believe in the supernatural? and create myths? it's not surprising to me that there's a lot of similarities
Tiny humans living in the woods isn't a hyper specific concept that couldn't possibly be imagined by multiple people around the world. People have imaginations, and more often than not, those imaginations overlap. Nothing to make a big deal about imo.
I live on the Isle of Man, a small island half way between Ireland and England. Up the hill from my flat is a literal Fairy Glen complete with a fairy circle.
In some weird reason we also have it here in the Philippines, part of our culture, we call them "Engkantos". We don't just cut trees or flowers especially when your new to the place. I just find it weirdly amazing because this myth of ours is known even before the colonization of Westerners in our country yet we kinda have similarities in describing these mythical creatures and it makes me think that maybe they are true
I went through a serious fairy obsession phase around nine to ten years old. I was always peeking at butterflies, hoping some of them were really fairies. I also loved that book about gnomes.
I thought you were gonna be talking about faeries of old like before christianity hit ireland.... Nope your talking about post Christianity ireland myths... Cause hell did not exist in ireland mythos before christianity came to ireland... Faeries are fickle wee things. But you are talking about more then faeries, sorry but faeries and sidhe are two different creatures... Like how people mistake yurei/ghosts with Yokai/oni/fiends in japanese mythos. From Galway Ireland 🇮🇪 👋
Thank you. I was immediately thinking the same thing. This is a Christianized mythos of Faeries, not the true real stories, before Christianity moved in. Faeries pre-date Christianity.
@@mushroomfairy6905 they are fickle things that if you showed them respect they would not bother you but if you insult them they will play pranks, nothing nefarious.
And whats more great is they aren't actually evil or fallen angels it is mentioned that these kind gentle magical loving beings is a part of the creation of all living non living and magical beings to inhabit the universe dimensions and our world 💙
@Daisy Meadow could I ask what you are studying and how you are incorperating the fae in your thesis? I'm highly interested to add this type of material into my own thesis!
@@jeslerkingma9212 My bachelor was in literature sciences! I wrote a literary analyses of faeries in YA fiction from a posthuman perspective, among other theories (with some history sprinkled in as well, because I couldn't resist!) What sort of thesis are you writing?
I believe in fairies. My grandmother had a plant called "encantada" ,it's vine climbing all over her porch with beautiful white flowers something like orchids but bigger. Nobody has that climbing plant except my grandmother. But the amazing part is it doesn't smell anything during the day but as soon as it's midnight it will have this beautiful fragrance that seems to envelop the whole room where I sleep at her house and for some reason, it always wake me up but not the others. I miss that plant. When my grandmother died, my mother inherited it, she had a new house built but the people who built the house destroyed the plant and eversince, I'm so scared to be in that house. It seems to have lost its protection from bad spirits.
i have! walked into a circle of mushrooms when i was a preteen, saw some flashes of colorful movement out of the corner of my eye, but never saw anything directly - i thought i was just crazy lmAO
The place mentioned at 3:39 is 'Tír na nÓg' - 'tír' means country/land and 'óg' simply directly translates to young, so the land of the young. There's a shop not far from me called that, actually.
Alaskan natives had "little people" who lived in the mountains and made the clouds, however they would steal young chuldren who wondered off too far from the village, and they are who really made the clouds. We stayed close to the village to avoid becoming slaves to the 'little people."
Wth in guam they have those too but they are called dwendis. Heard of many South American countries have stories that share the name in common but refer to something larger a couple feet tall. Hmong, mountain people outcasted from China in ancient times, have something more similar to the little people like you’ve described, btw we call then little people too. They are said to be able to lure children in and capture their souls and an effort to combat this the child’s name should be called out three times. We would also have to ask “permission” when entering jungles at night, basically like a prayer that ask ancestors to protect us and allow us to enter as long as we respect the land. These are stories past down from Chamorro people since before the island was colonized, I believe. How is it that these and many cultures even ones that were as isolated as Hmong or from Guam , share such similar beliefs? Wow, thanks for sharing
I would love to see separate videos specifically on the fairy lore of Wales and of Scotland because there is some great deep lore there and a lot of ppl look over them and lump them in with either Ireland or England which is kind of upsetting because we have our own stories to tell! Also it would be cool to hear about the more pagan aspects separate from christian interpretations
@@emieve617 sadly I had expected better since I thought they seem to do good research on their topics and that I thought it was basic knowledge not to lump the countries of the UK together especially England Scotland and Wales!
I feel like these depictions of fairies are so modernized and even Christianized. The one where the fairies fear some aspects of Christianity might be an attempt from missionaries at weakening Irish belief and strengthening Christian values. Likewise, explanation of fairies being fallen angels might be an attempt at blending in Christianity with Irish folklore to be more acceptable among Irish people. Having studied pre-Hinduism Malay through linguistics, I've found many things that differ from our modern sense of things. Perhaps if we look deeper into the etymology of words, and compare them with other words in Irish and outside Irish, we can look at a more accurate, Gaelic view of these creatures. Take notice that this is an amateur attempt, coming from a non-native Irish Gaelic speaker who just got interested in studying cultures and languages. The word _sí_ is used to describe fairy-related concepts, such as _bean sí_ (origin of English "banshee"). There are other words pronounced in a very similar manner like _sídh_ and _sídhe,_ along with _síthe_ meaning "peace", but you shouldn't automatically assume they're related. Modern Irish underwent many sound changes from Old Irish and Proto-Celtic, and these changes may have resulted in similar-sounding words with different meanings. However, the word _bean sí_ came from Old Irish _ben síde,_ suggesting that the words _sí, síthe,_ and _sídhe_ might be related in a sense. Irish preserves old orthography. The sounds /θ ð/ (as in English _teeθ_ and _faðer)_ in Old Irish changed into /h ɣ~j/ in Modern Irish, but Modern Irish keeps the orthography intact, allowing us to make an educated guess that _sí, síth, sídh, sídhe_ are all related. The word _sí_ isn't just used to describe fairies it seems; the Teanglann Dictionary gives _ceol sí_ to be "enchanting music", _long sí_ to be "phantom ship", and _solas sí_ to be "misguiding light". From here we can expand our understanding of _sí_ as not just the creature we call "fairy", but to the concept of things enchanting, deceiving, and misguiding. _Bean sí_ therefore can be understood as a "bewitching lady" or a "deceiving lady", whose keens signal future death of a family member. Looking at Teanglann too, the keyword "fairy" gives us many interesting results. Irish has a great deal of fairy vocabularies, some of which seem to be related. The word _síbhean_ (female fairy) seems to be a compound of _sí_ and _bean_ (woman), while _síbhruíon_ (fairy palace) a compound of _sí_ and _bruíon_ (palace). I'm placing my bet on the word _sióg_ (fairy) being a compound of _sí_ and _óg_ (young), suggesting a certain type of creature whose young look is deceiving. Extending this to _bansióg_ (female fairy), which can be understood as a compound of _bean_ and _sí óg._ Judging from my studies in pre-Hinduism Malay, I dare say that _sí_ is a concept in Irish Paganism/Animism that refers to things outside of human abilities. It may had used to explain things outside the ordinary, such as natural phenomenons and physical conditions, going back to the explanation of physical disabilities being the result of _sí_ and the changelings. This understanding of "powers and beauty outside of human power" could've been humanized then, into the small folks we know. We can take the term _bean sí_ (banshee) and _síofra_ (changeling) to be the results of this anthromorphism. Just then after Christianity came, _sí_ was depicted as fallen angels and fairies, and then the modern portrayal takes dominance and _sí_ turned into the fairy we know today. Apologies for the English, I'm not a native speaker and I might've made some mistakes here and there. Hopefully my message still reads clear, though.
To add on the Irish fairy myths- don't leave a baby unattended in a room with the window open or the fairies will take it, and never cut down a Holly tree as its a fairy tree and cutting it down brings bad luck !
Glad to see I'm not the only person who noticed the pattern. If women are so weak then why are there more myths about women? Wouldn't there be more about men?
Your right, just like the witch trials that crossed Europe and America. So many women lost their lives because they stood up for themselves, because they have been abused by men.

I'm Polynesian and feel like I need to investigate this further and why the Maori have some lineage connected with the fae it is so interesting and must research further thank this was such a great informative video! God bless
i believe in this! because i have that kind of experience with mythical creatures, my mom and i saw a dwarf when i was 16, they're literally the same height as the mini garden gnomes, the hat & long beard is legit, then he run thru the wall when he saw us, such an unforgettable moment.
Your living room is just a screen and that's why faries are so small. Everything you see is a fairy tail, tiny people on a tiny screen. Goliath at the movie theater. History repeats over and ever again.
Kind of confused from the pronunciation of Irish words, (as someone who’s Irish and speaks Irish) a lot of words are just a bit off. But good attempt, maybe try find a gaelgór to get the pronunciation right, overall good video, just a suggestion :]
You could even check to see if Basque vocabulary is involved with some of the stuff you hear today. The prehistoric Basque stuff surprises me. Whether saying Basque or Hispanic I'm a little surprised to be cousins to the Celtic area as well as spots like the Spaniard section of Spain.
wow, you're making me come back to buzzfeed. what a great episode. wonderfully edited and good feeling. 10/10 leave a like so we can get more of these.
@Dingolia it's about manifestations from imagination, imagine something strong enough and it will be true. Therefore, gods like the Greek gods and mythological creatures are real, made real by the collective unconscious and imagination of mankind throughout the ages
In Filipino folklore we called it Diwata or Duwende from the word dwarf. A very mysterious creatures also I could hear some of them at times and I wish I could see them too...

Yesssssss! They came from the Valinor, or Valar or the undying lands, after the fall of Gondolin. Legolas was actually a guard for the tree of Gondolin and had helped the elves of Gondolin escape from the wrath of Meglin, servant of Morgoth, since he was one of the few elves who could see in the dark. Some of the elves went to other parts of the Valinor while others went to escape from Morgoth entirely by leaving and going to Middle Earth.
I’m indigenous from North America, I remember hearing elders and other knowledge keepers about fairylike beings, they’re simply called the “Little people”.
I'd love to hear about this concept I've seen going around that fairies will bargain for gifts and such and if you mess up being polite or take more than you give they'll like steal your soul or something. i haven't been able to find out where that idea comes from
Sounds similar to stories from Irish mythology but the soul stealing part isn't ringing any bells in my head, I'm from Ireland and love studying Irish mythology!
@@user-zk3to9mw4n It's considered bad luck to accept anything from them according to Irish folklore, generally something bad happens to any humans involved 😉
@@user-zk3to9mw4n sorry, but Wicca is a modern religion made up of a mishmash of beliefs appropriated, ie stolen, from other belief systems. Personally, I’d advise abandoning it & going back to native sources of whatever folklore, magical practices etc that you’re interested in. Being Wiccan isn’t the only way to be a witch - you can do so much better =)
Yess I read the books when I was younger and I was so captivated by the story it was also very convincing in a way ? I think the author is also Irish btw i really recommend reading the books if you haven’t. Much better than the movie in my opinion
in malaysia we have 'orang bunian' im unsure of the size (but im pretty sure theyre normal human sized) and theyre invisible! theyre usually told to be located in jungles and mountains etc. there has been many cases of people getting transported to their land and being asked to stay and marry someone or pray and etc. id loooove if you could make a video on them! always wanted to know what exactly they are etc
I do believe there are various different beings of all shapes and sizes that are in a different reality (behind the veil) but not necessarily a fairy. I think these creatures once existed but you know how humans are. I think there are winged beings and unicorns etc., but they are extinct. The fairies that we see now, you might see a flash and then they are gone. They can’t trust humans.
That was pretty good. My mom had a brownie, who would sometimes do things. Once, the brownie embarrassed the neighbor lady when she laughed at my Mom's companion. However, the thing that stands out the most is when my mom tripped on the steps, coming down from upstairs, to our living room. She was going head-long when she was jerked up right. We all laughed at her and made jokes about her being an acrobat. Well the next morning she showed me the back of her arm, at the back of her elbow. There were a series of bruises there, and when mom closed her arm, the bruises formed and hand-print. Pretty cool huh? Before my mom died, the brownie got with my sister, who has become quite the Wiccan. Glad I missed that bullet. The supernatural was natural in our house. Still, experiencing a thing and understanding a thing can be quite difficult. Your work has helped connect a few of the dots. Mike L
That's actually a pretty good video with a lot of understanding. It is quite remarkable to think that throughout all the many thousands of years of human history, it's only really been this last century, during which people have been so distracted by staring at televisions, and other worthless trivial junk, and had their brains so addled by the pharmaceutical explosion, that society itself seems to have become literally incapable of comprehending anything more complicated than tying their shoelaces. Faeries will be understood better once humanity drags itself out of its current, infantile understanding of physics, psychology and nature.
No, the Irish Gaelic word is not derived from the Persian word. Different histories and traditions. Irish Gaelic and Persian, as well as Sanskrit, Latin, English, Greek, Russian, many others are all descended from a common ancestor language. There are also at least some common mythological elements that were modified in each descendant language group.
When I was little in our province there's a lot of trees and our was located on of them and there's always a power out. One night around 10 pm I go out and accidentally see a huge firefly with a huge wings around the growing rose and I was very scared and it was starting to summer and more flowers were growing . And I saw 3 fireflies and one of them was like carrying a thing that's seems heavy but as I grow up I start to realize it just too big for a firefly.

Fairies is a pretty broad term. Some sources go so far as to include Dullahans (and by that extent, the headless horsemen from sleepy hollow) to be labeled as Fairies. They're not all Tinkerbell from Peter Pan.

I was sitting in the lounge watching TV btw. She layed on the foot end of her back to watch me... I felt very awkward... 🤷🏻♀️
Very intetesting lore. Id like to see more vids about these types of topics. Ive done mushrooms a few times, and along with feeling very connected to God and nature, I start seeing small smiling faces fly around in my line of sight. They looked loving and innocent yet also mischivious. Always assumed they must be fairies or tiny angels.

Please talk about Welsh fairy lore regarding Pembroke Welsh Corgis. My grandma was a PW corgi breeder who descended from Romani that believed in the Fae and she gave me books and told me stories about how corgis were integral to fae society. There’s even an origin story as to why corgis ‘don’t have tails’ because one upset the fairy Queen so badly she nailed his tail to the floor and he ripped himself free. There’s also stories about how the fae would use corgis as steeds and run through the streets of Britain on their backs on hot summer nights!

I grew up learning about fairies. They were taught as mythology but they always fascinated me. When I was young I would put "food" out for the fairies to eat on places I designated as fairy spots. It was fun.
I also grew up having my parents read the flower fairy poems by Cicely Mary Barker and my brother and I would always pick which fairy we wanted to be.
I love fairy mythologies you should do elves as well

Dmt elves lol
Elves were what was written about before angels.
This reminded me of dmt
I'm starting to believe that these fairytale creatures (dragons, fairies, elves, etc.) actually existed. Cause it doesn't make sense that all these different places from around the world have them all in their culture. Just using different names for them depending on where they from.
But in our culture there is no such things like dragon, fairy and elves
Same !
Dragons were likely caused by dinosaur fossils, İ don’t know how the others might’ve happened tho
have you considered it could be human nature to believe in the supernatural? and create myths? it's not surprising to me that there's a lot of similarities
Tiny humans living in the woods isn't a hyper specific concept that couldn't possibly be imagined by multiple people around the world. People have imaginations, and more often than not, those imaginations overlap. Nothing to make a big deal about imo.

In some weird reason we also have it here in the Philippines, part of our culture, we call them "Engkantos". We don't just cut trees or flowers especially when your new to the place. I just find it weirdly amazing because this myth of ours is known even before the colonization of Westerners in our country yet we kinda have similarities in describing these mythical creatures and it makes me think that maybe they are true
I went through a serious fairy obsession phase around nine to ten years old. I was always peeking at butterflies, hoping some of them were really fairies. I also loved that book about gnomes.
I'm the king of that lol
We have that kind of phase though

I thought you were gonna be talking about faeries of old like before christianity hit ireland.... Nope your talking about post Christianity ireland myths... Cause hell did not exist in ireland mythos before christianity came to ireland... Faeries are fickle wee things. But you are talking about more then faeries, sorry but faeries and sidhe are two different creatures... Like how people mistake yurei/ghosts with Yokai/oni/fiends in japanese mythos.

Thank you. I was immediately thinking the same thing. This is a Christianized mythos of Faeries, not the true real stories, before Christianity moved in. Faeries pre-date Christianity.

I believe in fairies. My grandmother had a plant called "encantada" ,it's vine climbing all over her porch with beautiful white flowers something like orchids but bigger. Nobody has that climbing plant except my grandmother. But the amazing part is it doesn't smell anything during the day but as soon as it's midnight it will have this beautiful fragrance that seems to envelop the whole room where I sleep at her house and for some reason, it always wake me up but not the others. I miss that plant. When my grandmother died, my mother inherited it, she had a new house built but the people who built the house destroyed the plant and eversince, I'm so scared to be in that house. It seems to have lost its protection from bad spirits.
Question to all those watching: Have you ever seen a fairy glen?
Yeah it's you ~
i have! walked into a circle of mushrooms when i was a preteen, saw some flashes of colorful movement out of the corner of my eye, but never saw anything directly - i thought i was just crazy lmAO

Yup‼️

There is such a spiritual awakening happen. Love seeing how all the magic and history of it is becoming more mainstream and normal.
In many countries it never went away...I grew up with plenty of folklore etc in Scotland.
Me too 😌
Alaskan natives had "little people" who lived in the mountains and made the clouds, however they would steal young chuldren who wondered off too far from the village, and they are who really made the clouds. We stayed close to the village to avoid becoming slaves to the 'little people."
I live in the NWT, I heard about the little people in Alaska. We have “little green men” which I don’t believe at all
Wth in guam they have those too but they are called dwendis. Heard of many South American countries have stories that share the name in common but refer to something larger a couple feet tall. Hmong, mountain people outcasted from China in ancient times, have something more similar to the little people like you’ve described, btw we call then little people too. They are said to be able to lure children in and capture their souls and an effort to combat this the child’s name should be called out three times. We would also have to ask “permission” when entering jungles at night, basically like a prayer that ask ancestors to protect us and allow us to enter as long as we respect the land. These are stories past down from Chamorro people since before the island was colonized, I believe. How is it that these and many cultures even ones that were as isolated as Hmong or from Guam , share such similar beliefs? Wow, thanks for sharing
As a New Zealand even though the pronunciation was a bit off I really enjoyed the bit about Maori beliefs as were often forgotten down here ☺️
I want to go there some day, it’s truly the most beautiful country in the world! But, currently I’m stuck here in Germany, soooo hallo.
I would love to see separate videos specifically on the fairy lore of Wales and of Scotland because there is some great deep lore there and a lot of ppl look over them and lump them in with either Ireland or England which is kind of upsetting because we have our own stories to tell! Also it would be cool to hear about the more pagan aspects separate from christian interpretations

I feel like these depictions of fairies are so modernized and even Christianized. The one where the fairies fear some aspects of Christianity might be an attempt from missionaries at weakening Irish belief and strengthening Christian values. Likewise, explanation of fairies being fallen angels might be an attempt at blending in Christianity with Irish folklore to be more acceptable among Irish people.
Having studied pre-Hinduism Malay through linguistics, I've found many things that differ from our modern sense of things. Perhaps if we look deeper into the etymology of words, and compare them with other words in Irish and outside Irish, we can look at a more accurate, Gaelic view of these creatures.
Take notice that this is an amateur attempt, coming from a non-native Irish Gaelic speaker who just got interested in studying cultures and languages.
The word _sí_ is used to describe fairy-related concepts, such as _bean sí_ (origin of English "banshee"). There are other words pronounced in a very similar manner like _sídh_ and _sídhe,_ along with _síthe_ meaning "peace", but you shouldn't automatically assume they're related. Modern Irish underwent many sound changes from Old Irish and Proto-Celtic, and these changes may have resulted in similar-sounding words with different meanings.
However, the word _bean sí_ came from Old Irish _ben síde,_ suggesting that the words _sí, síthe,_ and _sídhe_ might be related in a sense. Irish preserves old orthography. The sounds /θ ð/ (as in English _teeθ_ and _faðer)_ in Old Irish changed into /h ɣ~j/ in Modern Irish, but Modern Irish keeps the orthography intact, allowing us to make an educated guess that _sí, síth, sídh, sídhe_ are all related.
The word _sí_ isn't just used to describe fairies it seems; the Teanglann Dictionary gives _ceol sí_ to be "enchanting music", _long sí_ to be "phantom ship", and _solas sí_ to be "misguiding light". From here we can expand our understanding of _sí_ as not just the creature we call "fairy", but to the concept of things enchanting, deceiving, and misguiding. _Bean sí_ therefore can be understood as a "bewitching lady" or a "deceiving lady", whose keens signal future death of a family member.
Looking at Teanglann too, the keyword "fairy" gives us many interesting results. Irish has a great deal of fairy vocabularies, some of which seem to be related. The word _síbhean_ (female fairy) seems to be a compound of _sí_ and _bean_ (woman), while _síbhruíon_ (fairy palace) a compound of _sí_ and _bruíon_ (palace). I'm placing my bet on the word _sióg_ (fairy) being a compound of _sí_ and _óg_ (young), suggesting a certain type of creature whose young look is deceiving. Extending this to _bansióg_ (female fairy), which can be understood as a compound of _bean_ and _sí óg._
Judging from my studies in pre-Hinduism Malay, I dare say that _sí_ is a concept in Irish Paganism/Animism that refers to things outside of human abilities. It may had used to explain things outside the ordinary, such as natural phenomenons and physical conditions, going back to the explanation of physical disabilities being the result of _sí_ and the changelings.
This understanding of "powers and beauty outside of human power" could've been humanized then, into the small folks we know. We can take the term _bean sí_ (banshee) and _síofra_ (changeling) to be the results of this anthromorphism. Just then after Christianity came, _sí_ was depicted as fallen angels and fairies, and then the modern portrayal takes dominance and _sí_ turned into the fairy we know today.
Apologies for the English, I'm not a native speaker and I might've made some mistakes here and there. Hopefully my message still reads clear, though.
Thanks for the write up, v informative haha
Christianization ruined so much lore and mythology 💀
To add on the Irish fairy myths- don't leave a baby unattended in a room with the window open or the fairies will take it, and never cut down a Holly tree as its a fairy tree and cutting it down brings bad luck !

@@JDL3777 in our living room.
Your living room is just a screen and that's why faries are so small. Everything you see is a fairy tail, tiny people on a tiny screen. Goliath at the movie theater. History repeats over and ever again.
Kind of confused from the pronunciation of Irish words, (as someone who’s Irish and speaks Irish) a lot of words are just a bit off. But good attempt, maybe try find a gaelgór to get the pronunciation right, overall good video, just a suggestion :]
You could even check to see if Basque vocabulary is involved with some of the stuff you hear today. The prehistoric Basque stuff surprises me. Whether saying Basque or Hispanic I'm a little surprised to be cousins to the Celtic area as well as spots like the Spaniard section of Spain.

@Dingolia it's about manifestations from imagination, imagine something strong enough and it will be true. Therefore, gods like the Greek gods and mythological creatures are real, made real by the collective unconscious and imagination of mankind throughout the ages

I think we know where Tolkien’s Elves came from.
Yesssssss! They came from the Valinor, or Valar or the undying lands, after the fall of Gondolin. Legolas was actually a guard for the tree of Gondolin and had helped the elves of Gondolin escape from the wrath of Meglin, servant of Morgoth, since he was one of the few elves who could see in the dark. Some of the elves went to other parts of the Valinor while others went to escape from Morgoth entirely by leaving and going to Middle Earth.
I’m indigenous from North America, I remember hearing elders and other knowledge keepers about fairylike beings, they’re simply called the “Little people”.
I'd love to hear about this concept I've seen going around that fairies will bargain for gifts and such and if you mess up being polite or take more than you give they'll like steal your soul or something. i haven't been able to find out where that idea comes from

in malaysia we have 'orang bunian' im unsure of the size (but im pretty sure theyre normal human sized) and theyre invisible! theyre usually told to be located in jungles and mountains etc. there has been many cases of people getting transported to their land and being asked to stay and marry someone or pray and etc. id loooove if you could make a video on them! always wanted to know what exactly they are etc
I do believe there are various different beings of all shapes and sizes that are in a different reality (behind the veil) but not necessarily a fairy. I think these creatures once existed but you know how humans are. I think there are winged beings and unicorns etc., but they are extinct. The fairies that we see now, you might see a flash and then they are gone. They can’t trust humans.
How mythological creatures change throughout the years is so interesting!

That was pretty good. My mom had a brownie, who would sometimes do things. Once, the brownie embarrassed the neighbor lady when she laughed at my Mom's companion. However, the thing that stands out the most is when my mom tripped on the steps, coming down from upstairs, to our living room. She was going head-long when she was jerked up right. We all laughed at her and made jokes about her being an acrobat. Well the next morning she showed me the back of her arm, at the back of her elbow. There were a series of bruises there, and when mom closed her arm, the bruises formed and hand-print. Pretty cool huh? Before my mom died, the brownie got with my sister, who has become quite the Wiccan. Glad I missed that bullet. The supernatural was natural in our house.

That's actually a pretty good video with a lot of understanding. It is quite remarkable to think that throughout all the many thousands of years of human history, it's only really been this last century, during which people have been so distracted by staring at televisions, and other worthless trivial junk, and had their brains so addled by the pharmaceutical explosion, that society itself seems to have become literally incapable of comprehending anything more complicated than tying their shoelaces. Faeries will be understood better once humanity drags itself out of its current, infantile understanding of physics, psychology and nature.
No, the Irish Gaelic word is not derived from the Persian word. Different histories and traditions. Irish Gaelic and Persian, as well as Sanskrit, Latin, English, Greek, Russian, many others are all descended from a common ancestor language. There are also at least some common mythological elements that were modified in each descendant language group.

Please talk about Welsh fairy lore regarding Pembroke Welsh Corgis. My grandma was a PW corgi breeder who descended from Romani that believed in the Fae and she gave me books and told me stories about how corgis were integral to fae society.
There’s even an origin story as to why corgis ‘don’t have tails’ because one upset the fairy Queen so badly she nailed his tail to the floor and he ripped himself free. There’s also stories about how the fae would use corgis as steeds and run through the streets of Britain on their backs on hot summer nights!
