i am glad you are back, i started watching your channel right after you had your baby, i went to my first renaissance fair, pittsburgh, pa and was fascinated with the fairy actresses. What a cool job. My friend is a part time professional psychic and she believes in fairies/elves and sees them.
I'm pretty sure that there are older stories of fae with wings, but no real description of them in most cases. Swanmaes and similar did have wings in some versions where it was a swans wings there, though they are swan based fae. Sylphs and a few similar ones are often described as having wings, many times with gossamer as the description for them...though they're more of air spirits that cross over into fae stuff. A lot of the time the wings are in association with what the Faerie was specifically tied to, so ones like gnomes or selkies wouldn't have wings, though one tied to the air might. A chunk of the issue is that a lot of the folklore and stories originate from a LOT of different places and then were associated together into a more singular grouping, often shifting context at the same time. Satyrs and fauns, for example, are associated as fae creatures, but originated a divine creations from the greeks/romans as forest spirits, then, later, began being viewed as fae as well. There are also limits to what was actually written down and learned since there were hundreds or thousands of variations of the lore for some types that were condensed as time went on with bits lost or replaced by a semi-similar description.
I think you’re right. I think a “fairy” probably didn’t have wings because they were considered earth spirits. But the air spirits would have at least feathered wings. And there’s so much lost to history. Thanks for your input!
@@MeekaChannelNot all fairies were earth spirits, Selkies, for example, were definitely fae and associated with water and the ocean (And has a pretty horrific context with regard to history)
i had a weird paranormal ? experience with a fairy, i was on facebook video chat talking to me friend who lives in steubenville, oh about 50 min away. My head was itching for about 10 min, then she said i just saw a white thing fly out of you head and it looked like a fairy, it was about 3 -4 inches tall, this was winter, so no bugs, so i put the screen so i could see myself, about 10 min later, we both saw it fly back INTO MY HEAD ???

Thank you 😊 I’m more active on my Sprout The Fae Of Seeds pages these days. These recent videos are actually posted there first.
Genuinely interesting, thank you.
