Fairy Food You are wondering far from home when you encounter a fairy which offers you a simple meal of bread and butter. Should you accept it?   M...

My new article on fairies discusses when it is safe to eat fairy food.

Generally it is safe when the food is simple, you are invited into fairyland, you work for the fairies.

Goblins were likely connected to domestic spirits, but they had gone wild, much like Loki in mythology.

"There are, of course, many other interesting aspects of fairy lore, but since I am a historian it is the human interactions with fairies that seem to me the most compelling aspect of the story."

Is this story about #fairies including in 'Fairies: A History'? 😉😇

Before mermaids… there was Melusine. Cursed by her own mother. Bound to transform every Saturday. When her husband broke his vow, she left & became legend.

Some European royal houses still claim her as an ancestor.

An enjoyable online talk with the academic Simon Young, hosted by The Folklore Society about the mystery of changelings across the world.

In the actual folklore, fairies often don’t have a ton to do with nature. “But nature is kind of the THING about fairies, isn’t it? They’re nature spirits! They’re protectors of trees and rivers! They wear cool little acorn hats!”

I keep wondering who’s been putting pebbles in my garden shoes… 👀⁠ Meet The Lutin, a small, mischievous spirit from French folklore, famous for tiny pranks like dulling tools, slipping stones into shoes, and tying knots in hair (my personal curse).

Witchy, did you know: Iron repels fairies. It keeps their magic at bay, sometimes protecting you, mostly offending them.
Not all fairies are repelled by iron, so be careful which fairy you try to use it on.
You don't want to offend the fae, right?

#HyasWisdom #FairyLore

Witchy Did You Know: Many fairies are enforcers of morality. Living long often results in grandmotherly or grandfatherly behaviour, rewarding moral behaviour and punishing the immoral. 🤭

Many reward kindness, creativity, cleverness, and hard work! 💜

A fairy-like figure is captured mid-leap against a textured, painterly backdrop of soft gray, off-white, and drifting pink petal shapes. Her body is angled diagonally through the frame, suggesting swift, buoyant motion. One leg bends forward while the other trails behind, reinforcing the sense of flight rather than standing. Her hair is a deep teal, styled into two loose buns high on her head, with wisps breaking free and dissolving into expressive brushstrokes around her. Large, vivid green eyes dominate her face, bright and alert, paired with a small, confident smile that suggests playful intent. Subtle pointed ears emerge from her hair, signaling her fairy nature without exaggeration. She wears a green, leaf-like dress composed of layered textures that resemble foliage, catching light in painterly highlights and shadows. In her right hand, she grips a slender wand or twig, angled forward as if guiding her movement through the air. Behind her, broad translucent wings spread outward, painted in warm reds, coral tones, and hints of green. The wings appear organic and petal-like, with visible brush textures and softened edges that blend into the surrounding space. The background remains abstract, with no clear horizon or ground, creating the feeling that she exists within motion itself. The overall atmosphere is light, whimsical, and energetic, combining innocence with confidence, as though a fleeting moment of magic has been frozen inside a swirl of paint.
