People were always fascinated by the Moon. Almost every culture has believes about it’s cycles that attribute it a special meaning, for a good reason - literary for thousand s years watching it was crucial for human survival and every agricultural development was at least partially influenced by it. While being offset by technology in modern times, there is no doubt that every civilisation and culture that has ever existed, was at least partially possible thanks to the cycle of Moon.

Of all the tales told by men throughout the history, there are some that are special or unique. The story we will focus on today is one of those. It is special not only because of its scale or extraordinary happenings described, but it is comparable to other in that regard. Sometime a fable is special because of one tiny detail that anchors it well outside the realm of fantasy and legends and places it much closer to our world.

While talking about folklore tales, it is literally impossible not to think about one very special kind of being. The one that is probably among the least specifically described and consistent across all stories they make an appearance in. Which seems weird, especially considering that they are so widely spread in folklore that they, in fact, are in the name of a genre of magical tales. Today we take a closer look at the origins of the færies.
