Fairies

Traditional Folk Tale

In Ireland, the fact that fairies are so plentiful, gives rise to the belief that all fairies are Irish! Fairies may have originated from the neolithic men in Ireland known as "Firbolgs", who hid from the foes in underground holes / dwellings.

Wherever they came from, glensfolk generally respect fairies, and not without justified reasons. Offending a fairy is a very unwise practice, neither is interfering with fairy possessions. Those who tried to cut down a fairy thorn are prime examples.
