Fairy Poppets - Faerie Poppets is it fairy or faerie?
Faerie Poppets uses the old fairy name "faerie" instead of "fairy" fairy poppets. A fairy is sometimes seen as fairie or faerie. Fairy and faerie is a spirit or supernatural being that is found in the legends, folklore, and mythology of many different cultures. We use Faerie Poppet instead of Fairy Poppet because it’s more fitting with the mythology of the fairy. That explains why Faerie Poppets are not called Fairy Poppets. Fairies are generally humanoid in their appearance and have supernatural abilities such as the ability to fly, cast spells and to influence or foresee the future. Although fairy poppets can do whatever their owner imagines. In modern culture fairy poppets are often depicted as young, sometimes winged, females of small stature, they originally were of a much different image: tall, angelic beings and short, wizened trolls being some of the commonly mentioned fay. The small, gauzy-winged fairies that are commonly depicted today did not appear until the 1800s. Christine Haworth paints the fairy in many different forms. The fairy poppets are a brilliant representation of the fairy. |
