Fairies are known to be mythical winged creatures that have supernatural powers. The word “fairy” has Latin roots meaning “fate”. Folklores define fairies as characters that have the powers to either do good or evil. They are known to be mischievous and fun-loving. In Greek mythology, fairies were also known as Nymphs and are regarded as protectors of Mother Earth.

There are so many theories surrounding fairies. In 13th century England, fairies were known to be “little people” with no wings. There’s even a Christian theory that fairies are “fallen angels” who roam the earth. Fairies are usually known to be slender and beautiful. However, different types of fairies were introduced including leprechauns, goblins, elves, enchanters, fay, genies, gnomes, goblins, hobs, mermaids, nymphs, pixies, and many more earth-bound mythical creatures.

Today, fairies are a part of fairytales and fiction stories told over and over. People regard fairies as a part of a culture worth re-telling. People barely believe in any mythology based on fairies and other supernatural creatures. Nevertheless, people continue to be fascinated by these winged creatures.

Products such as dolls, and figurines that are fairies continue to interest collectors and fans. One artist who produces fairy-like figures is Ilanit Bronstein of Telepele World of Fairies.
