The Faerie are from the
Celtic-myths, nature spirits brought to life by the essence that they represent. You'll
find Faerie almost everywhere. There are many kinds of faeriekith as from the
Celtic-mythology. As in all things there are good and bad Faeries...but mostly good.

family.

minutes could actually be several days.

Young), Tirfo Thuinn (the Land Under the Waves), Tire Nam Beo (Land of the Living), Tirn
Aill (the Other World), Mag Mor (the Great Plain), Mag Mell (the Pleasant Plain), and Tir
Tairngire (the Plain of Happiness).

the rope and the trespasser falls down the mining shaft. The body is always found the next
day neatly laid out at the entrance.

of Coblynau were once seen dancing in a field there, dressed as British soldiers with
handkerchiefs (red with yellow spots) on their heads.
