The Timeless Dance of the Fairies

In this video, we dive into the enchanting world of the pairikā, an ancient Indo-European goddess who has captivated hearts and minds for centuries. From her origins as a seductive, fertility goddess in pre-Zoroastrian times to her portrayal as a demonic spirit in Zoroastrian texts, the pairikā’s journey is one of transformation. We explore her connection to the apsaras of India, the nymphs of Greece, and the fate-weaving goddesses of ancient myths. Over time, this mystical figure evolved into the beloved parī of Persian literature, a beautiful fairy who sometimes falls in love with mortals. Join us as we uncover the fascinating history and cultural shifts of this timeless character, whose legacy reaches from ancient myths to modern folklore.
