Fairy
Stories of Fairies abound around
the world. In English, the name fairy derives from "fey" an
old English word that meant, literally, one who was "within
the other worlds"; fey could mean the Fairy Folk, or apply
to a person who was mad. In India, elemental beings are called "Devas",
a word used as well by the founders of Findhorn in Scotland
for their collaborations with the devas of the flower and vegetable
world (see, THE FINDHORN GARDEN). Among the Hopi, elemental
spirits, which can include the beings that protect and live
among flowers, are Kachinas.
Irish mythology abounds with Fairy Lore; from the grandeur
of the beautiful and dangerous Faery Queen, to the flower fairies
and elves that Irish housewives placed a bowl of milk outside
at night to please (or appease). But any child can tell you
that, on a beautiful day, among the blooming flowers, there
are, indeed, fairies.
