A magical creature, always ready to help, besides beautiful, kind and always winged, like a dragonfly or a butterfly, － this is a fairy. That's what people think these days. Hence the appearance of fairy tales and other stories about them. Now even some adults believe in fairy tales. Whether this is right or stupid, it is not for us to judge in any case.
Fairy Tales
Probably everyone knows the Ding Fairy from the fairy tale about Peter Pan. There she was kind, trusting and protected the boy. All stories about fairies show these sorceresses only from their beautiful side. Even computer games are built on the fact that fairies help the player out (heal, take them out of labyrinths and do a lot of useful things).
The most popular fairies for modern girls are the Winx girlfriends from Fairy School. Several seasons of the cartoon were able to awaken children's imagination and win the hearts of girls. Who doesn't know the famous red-haired Bloom? She along withgirlfriends fights against evil forces, as is customary in fairy tales, and always wins. And it cannot be otherwise, because Bloom is a fairy. For many years, Bloom and her friends have been favorite sorceresses for girls of all ages.
In many dictionaries, the word "fairy" is explained as "a magical creature must be female." According to the beliefs of the Celtic peoples, such a sorceress usually brings good to people. The fairy fairy often has a chiseled fragile figure and is very small in stature. In addition, according to fairy tales and cartoons, fairies are girls, or rather teenage girls.
Does she grant wishes?
Some legends about fairies claim that an ephemeral creature is able to fulfill almost any human wish. But for this you need what is called "get in touch." Usually children are engaged in such a game, they, with their fragile psyche, are more inclined to believe that there is a certain Fairy of Desires. The children, with their rich irrepressible imagination, even came up with a ritual of how such a magical madam can be summoned.
Call the fairy
It is believed that the summoning of a magical girl should only take place on a full moon. Naturally, you need to invite a magical fairy only at 00 hours and 00 minutes. Three real candles and a glass of clean water are prepared in advance.
On the windowsill, candles are arranged in the form of a triangle. A glass of water is placed in the center of an imaginary geometric figure. At the time when the hands on the clock show midnight, the most opportune moment for inviting: "Wish Fairyappear, show yourself. "The recitative is pronounced three times, and the wish made must be said to the water in the glass. True, this should be done only after ripples appear on the water (hmm, maybe open the window a little so that at least the wind ripples "make") Listen… the author is not responsible for the failure to appear before your eyes of this magical fairy, ready to fulfill your dreams.
Garden Wish Fairy
Fans of encounters with magical creatures claim that the following method is the surest way to summon the fairy of desires.
Buy a small bell and tie a pretty ribbon to it. Now go to where (according to the legends) magical creatures of this kind live. It can be a park or a forest: you need an area where flowers and trees grow with grass. On a flat clearing, draw a circle (of any diameter) with a thin twig. Now step on the line of the circle and walk along it counterclockwise, do not forget to ring the bell.
This is how you should go three circles (that is, go around the outlined circle three times without leaving the line). Stop, concentrate and say your wish. You can speak in a whisper, but experts say that the pronunciation of desire should occur in a voice. After voicing the dream, throw the bell over your left shoulder. And without looking back, again make the path in three circles, but only in a clockwise direction. Get out of the woods and don't look back!
Oh, what a ugly one…
Fairy tales fairy tales,but in fact they say that these magical ladies are not so beautiful after all. And instead of a good fairy, a not very pleasant creature may appear to you, resembling an ugly gnome. So be careful in your desires, including the desire to meet a girl of unearthly beauty.
It has long been believed that these creatures are on a magical hierarchy somewhere between man and fallen angels. There are versions that Slavic mermaids can even be called fairies. If we delve into this topic, we can recall that these river and sea inhabitants in fantasies are usually represented as beauties, but mythology claims that mermaid girls are not really girls. These are terrible and embittered creatures.
Also, ancient legends say that fairies are the inhabitants of the dungeon (here you have butterflies-flowers) … Creatures could come out of the ground and, at their own discretion, do a good deed or not. In general, as the mood will be, so are the good deeds. To appease the fabulous underground inhabitants in houses at night, it was customary to leave food. We althier people left sweets for the fairies. Apparently, they understood that a woman, having eaten a sweet, would become much kinder and thank the owners in her own way, with something good.
But calling these creatures fairies was considered very dangerous. The magical girls were not very impressed with this. They were more tolerant when they were called: "underground people", "magical inhabitants".
Helpful fairies
Of course, sometimes it's better for children to believe in these creatures. The tooth fairy, for example, is believed to take a baby's milk tooth and soon give it a new, strong and white one.
The fairy who gives dreams to a baby is also a good character. The child, in order to see the fabulous dreams that the fairy will bring him, goes to bed with good thoughts. And this magical dream is sure to be a dream: a child's imagination, fueled by a fairy tale, is capable of even more.
Fairies get old too
Apparently, the world of fairies is very similar to the human one. Magical young fairy girls with a good figure grow up, graduate from their magical establishments for fairies and sometimes get married. Recall, for example, the fairy godmother from the fairy tale about Shrek. She had an adult son-prince (Cherming), and her maternal heart, apparently, was very sick for the happiness of the descendant. Through this pain, the fairy tried to "fall in love" with Fiona with her son, using her charms.
The elderly sorceress, as it becomes clear from the fairy tale, did not live her life in vain. She helped mere mortals, including amphibians, arrange their fate in the best way. This fairy decided to keep up with modern reality. Having a rather impressive concern for the production of magic potions, the fairy along the way fulfilled the desires of people. You can call it in a very simple way - using a business card. No need to bother with candles, creating a danger to the fire situation. Yes, whatever you say, but life is changing, and the fairies have to work hard to stay in trend.
