I am half way through The Magic Arts in Celtic Britain by Lewis Spence, it is full of this type of information. I had always wondered about fairies, Lewis says that they have the same attributes as the dead alike not good enough for Heaven and not bad enough for Hell, so they are between worlds. Basically, they are the same as the dead spirits of ancestors that lurk around during the Five Days of New Years - Halloween. Maybe that is why Smurfs are blue, I doubt it, I watch Little Red Ridding Hood cartoons just to see if any get it correct and they don't, probably because cutting out grand ma, mom, and the kid are a bit too much. BTW, they represent past ages of the Sun with destruction and Impact Winter between.
Keep up the great work!

Fairy lore is complicated, but it is fun. The stories are truly fascinating.
