The Faerie are from the Celtic-myths, nature spirits
brought to life by the essence that they represent. You'll find Faerie almost everywhere.
There are many kinds of faeriekith as from the Celtic-mythology. As in all things there
are good and bad Faeries...but mostly good. The Welsh thought it to be an invisible island
in the Irish Channel just off the coast.
Laugharne and Milford Haven
The Faerie are reported to frequent these markets.
Hy Breasail
Elusive island to the west of Ireland where they lived.
Isle of Man
British version of the island theory.
Hollow Hills
Ancient forts, barrows, and earthworks. May raise itself up
on pillars at night during Lammas Tide (August 7). King Arthur may have been buried in
one.
Silbury Hill, Wiltshire
King Sil in his golden armor was buried here atop his horse.
Bryn y Ellyllon
Translates to Hill of the Goblins, near Mold, Clyd Flint
Castle Neroche in Somerset. Faeries defended their hill from gold seekers by instilling
the miners with a fierce panic and they all died within a month of the attempt.
Orkney
A Trow warned a farmer there not to dig in a certain mound.
The warning was ignored and the farmer lost his cattle and family.
Faerie Rings
Faeries dance in this circle of mushrooms, luring humans to
them with their music. Once inside, a human cannot escape unless a human chain from the
outside is formed to pull him/her out. Inside, what seems like a couple minutes could
actually be several days.
Gump Hill
Near Cornwall, reported to be a popular Faerie meeting
place.
Faerie Islands
Elusive islands where all is happiness, it is always Spring,
and no one ages or falls ill. Some float, some are underwater and only come up at night,
some are only visible every so often. Among the best known are the Isles of the Blest
(a.k.a Fortunate Islands), Tir Nan Og (the Land of the Young), Tirfo Thuinn (the Land
Under the Waves), Tire Nam Beo (Land of the Living), Tirn Aill (the Other World), Mag Mor
(the Great Plain), Mag Mell (the Pleasant Plain), and Tir Tairngire (the Plain of
Happiness.)
Chaw Gully, Dartmoor
The Knockers here are very protective of their mine. Anyone
trespassing will be killed when a Knocker cuts the rope and the trespasser falls down the
mine shaft. The body is always found the next day neatly laid out at the entrance.
Parish of Bodfari, Denbighshire
A group of Coblynau were once seen dancing in a field there,
dressed as British soldiers with handkerchiefs (red with yellow spots) on their heads.
Fincastle Mill
It was so haunted no one ever set foot there after dark. One
girl who dared to had to defend herself from a leering Brownie who years later killed her
by throwing a stool at her.
Knockma Hill
Under Knockma Hill is King Firvarra's palace. He still holds
court there as the leader of the Daoine Sidhe.
