Fairy SymbolismFairies can symbolise many things. As with the nature of many spiritual beings, the term "fairy" cannot be used specifically for one creature but rather is a general term often used to describe a range of ethereal creatures.

While the common conception of the fairy is a small creature with wings, fairies were once considered to be a wide range of creatures, from the mysterious elves to the seductive mermaids, even the banshee (the sould of a dead woman who wails upon the death of a person) was considered "fairy"

The common few of the many things fairies symbolises are :

Nature being fragments of the earth's spirits, fairies are the corporeal forms of the natural forces living on our planet. Fairies are also known to represent beauty and feminity as most fairies are depicted as female with wings (wings being the symbol of freedom and liberation) hence the liberation of females or a symbol of female strength. The wings of the fairy can also denote spirituality. The wings of the fairy are its most striking and outstanding feature, it is what sets them apart from the other beings of the corporeal realm (much like the mermaid's tail and the selkie's sealskin) and wings are often depicted as the manifestation of the human psyche. To quote Renfield in the novel Dracula "...the ancients were right when they represented the soul as a butterfly." It is also known that fairies can denote a sort of childlike or innocent state in a person as most accounts of fairies are made by little children whose innocent state enables their psychic abilities to percieve such creatures better than the adult mind which is tainted with preconceptions and practicality. However, the fairy can also connotate seduction or trickery. In ancient times, the fairies were mischevious beings and were often believed to be in league with the witches or, responsible for lost items, sour milk and, at times seducing humans. The fairy also symbolises magic and mystery. Finally, the fairy also symbolises homosexuality.

Fairies are imaginary creatures. Different traditions have them living in different places, such as woods, mountaintops, and flowers. Since they are make-believe, you could pretend they live anywhere, even under your pillow.

All Fairies are dependent on a flowering plant. Each flower species has its dependent species and house them.
