  1. Fairy Ointment

    Fairy Ointment or The Fairy Nurse is an English fairy tale collected by Joseph Jacobs in his English Fairy Tales . It has been told in many variants. Andrew Lang included one in The Lilac Fairy Book . The ointment itself, as a substance allowing a human to see fairies, occasionally appears in fantasy literature. Folk tales about such an ointment are found in Scandinavia , France and the British Isles ref name good Synopsis A midwife is summoned to attend a childbed. The baby is born, and she is given an ointment to rub in its eyes. Accidentally, or through curiosity, she rubs one or both her own eyes with it. This enables her to see the actual house to which she has been summoned. Sometimes a simple cottage becomes a castle, but most often, a grand castle becomes a wretched cave. In the variant Andrew Lang included, the woman saw a neighbor of hers, kept prisoner as a nurse, and was able to tell her husband how to rescue her, pulling her down from riding fairies as in Tam Lin . Soon, the midwife sees a fairy and admits it. The fairy invariably blinds her in the eye that can see him, or both if she put the ointment in both eyes. Other uses Fairy ointment also appears in many other fairy tales and books of fantasy, usually as a method for seeing through a fairy s magic. For example, in Eloise McGraw s The Moorchild , the protagonists enter a fairy hill in search of a stolen child, but are confused and hypnotized by the fairies glamour until they smear their eyes with stolen fairy ointment.

  1. Drake (fairy)

    one source date January 2012 unreliable sources date January 2012 A Drake is type of fairy figure found across European folklore that mixes the characteristics of fairy beings, and dragons . Even though the term drake has become synonymous to legendary dragons, fairy drakes stand alone as their own folkloric figure. Heterogeneous by nature, drake descriptions vary according to local folklore. Generally, they appear to be little house fairy beings who smell like rotten eggs, wear red caps and white tunics, except for when they fly, for it is then that they become a will o wisp figure, changing into a tiny flaming ball with a big head, and a long trail, giving the illusion of a tiny dragon, which also gives them the nickname Fire drake a term that runs synonymous to the dragons of Norse, Teutonic, and Celtic mythology who are said to guard treasures, such as the The Dragon Beowulf creature that kills Beowulf in the 8th 11th century English poem. Unsurprisingly enough, fairy drakes are also said to guard treasures when encountered in their will o wisp form. This description changes in Finnish folklore, where the krat drake variant is always depicted as a tiny dragon, yet still is depicted as a house fairy. They form strong bonds with families especially the fathers , being able to travel across the world doing chores for their masters, bringing them essential medicine, exotic foods, and gifts, in exchange for being taken cared of. They can also become revengeful, able to unleash powerful destructive forces. ref Franco Bejarano. Drakes The Fairy Dragons of Europe.
