- On today's episode Charles and Crofty run the risk of being trapped in fairy land on a quest to understand the origins of its famous denizens. Together they trace the history of these mysterious creatures throughout Britain and Ireland, examining how they evolved from elusive elves in Anglo Saxon times, to the regal fairy courts of Elizabethan literature, before finally take their iconic forms amongst the Victorian folklore craze.

Drinking game!! Whenever Charles says "they're often associated with the colour green" take a hearty swig. 🍻
I've just been admitted to the ER for liver poisoning
@@jane-the-mentalistThat means you won! Congrats!
Can my liver bear it?!
House rule: chase with Gatorade or salt water every 4th shot.
I was about to say, I’m in!!!
I tell my nieces that fairies used to be tall and could not fly. Then they discovered fairy dust, which made them little and let them fly. This lets me tell them older fairy stories.
Brilliant!
Thats cute
A w we no say w😅😮 re wee😮ww weewwe😅😮well eeeww
❤😊
Regarding if banshee is a fairy or not, the Irish spelling is bansidhe, or ban Sidhe, which literally translates to fairy woman, ban mean woman and Sidhe is fairy
Faerie. Not "fairy". Fairy's are pixies like Tinkerbell and benevolent.
Faeries are Sidhe and often malevolent.
Both words have different etymological roots, "fairy" coming from Latin and "Faerie" coming from Gaelic
@@davek89666nope . Fairy is the anglicized form of faerie. Tinkerbell is the anglicized version of a faerie
@@beautyonabarnbudget that is incorrect. The words have different etymological root
@@davek89666well, if one ascribes to the Italo-Celtic sub-grouping within the Indo-European languages, then both would most likely derive from a shared root. Also, I'd wager that given the phonemic similarity between the two language groups, that there may even be a PIE root, or possibly a Centum-PIE-split root for the concept or related phenomenon.
Edit: upon some basic initial research, (read: googling) It appears as if Fairy comes to English from Latin via Old French Fae, and Faerie enters in the 16th Century Via Spencer as an Pseudo-Archaism.

@@beatnikbulba9891 very interesting
My favourite part of Bram Stoker's Dracula is when he peers through that window and says: "Dude! Let me in. I'm a fairy... What? Don't you believe in fairies!?"
-- Also, thanks for another great video 🖤
I’m glad you said Bram Stokers dracula, i would have thought you meant the other one!
HaHaHa!!❤
Re: disneyfication of stories: Bambi. Bambi was written by Felix Salten in the twenties as an anti-hunting treatise. The chapter where Bambi's father dies is very traumatizing to small children. Disney cleaned it up to an incredible degree for the movie and it still makes children cry.
I still remember watching the film in the cinema, I was really young. I screamed and cried and my parents couldn't quieten me or help me. I had nightmare for years. I actually think Walt Disney is an evil person. I was probably the only child who hated his films
@@charlotterockel-kennedy8913 no, you're not the only one. I only ever watched 2 disney movies and then decided to boycott them, because I thought they were awful, immature, kitschy, inane, you name it. Just plain bad. And I was only 5 🤣 you can imagine how badly I think of anything Disney now.
I grew up with the books with the real tales, though. I feel sorry for all the people who only know the disney crap version.
Bambi was an allegory to the holocaust
Excellent point. Fairy lore was stolen by the Victorians and on to make them safe.Disneyfication is perfect.
@jonathanneuhaus4755 the Victoria's didn't really steal the fairy stories but rather reinterpreted and repurposed them
The fairy wife who leaves when the husband does something wrong is very similar to Japan's Yuki-onna or France's Melusine. Would love for a future episode to compare fairy stories from around the world, but I appreciate that's a lot of even more work 😅
That would be something the people could perhaps consolidate the fairy watchlist and work on a condensed version. The top ten most wanted fairy aka “Fay Gang”
Poor Melusine ^..^ guess she finally got the credit she deserved with her lovely foto for Starbucks !
or asian stories of shape shifting foxes who have families with men and then when found out dissapear never to be seen again
Riaaight.
Once again, I do not like scurvy.
I recognize a similarity between that Welsh story of the woman leaving her husband and a Japanese one: A man is saved in a snow storm by a beautiful woman. She spares his life and says that if he tells anyone what happened, she will return to kill him. Later on, he marries another beautiful woman. Years go by and they have children (I believe they have three children as well), until one night he begins reminiscing to her as their children sleep. He is reminded by the woman's appearance from his wife. His wife reveals herself to be the woman in the snow, and cannot bring herself to kill him, so she resorts to leave.
I c ❤❤cc ❤❤❤❤❤cc ❤ cc. Ccc ❤ V
Also I really appreciated that you mentioned that fairies or at least "energies" that seem similar appear all over the world and you made the choice to focus on where you would be able to access the information in a language that you speak.
It's fascinating how certain beings/creatures that were originally considered quite malevolant by pre Christian & early Christian societies evolved in pop culture as child friendly fantasy. Mermaids, Unicorns, Faeries(The Fae), Elves, etc. My inro to faeries was probably Disney? You mentioned Tinkerbell & there was also Cinderella with a Fairy Godmother & Pinochio had The Blue Fairy.
Sleeping Beauty also had the Three Good Fairies
Actually there were two kinds of faeries, the seelie and unseelie court. Faeries as I understand it were forces of nature, part of the balance, and chaotic or wild creatures, not specifically malevolent, but had tempers and when they didn't receive consideration they were known to punish that treatment of them.
Or maybe the fae folk are as individual as human beings and also have many of the same flaws?
Or maybe it’s like American hunters who go out killing animals for fun but when one acts defensive they call them ‘aggressive’.
So any negative interactions for any reason were just blamed on the fae?
@@frankboff1260karma's gonna getcha, 🐄ard
🤷🏿♀️
Good things come to those who wait. This will be grand. Thank you.
Who else been obsessed with fairies as a girl because they’re definitely real or something
Of course, fairies are real. Their gossamer wings are laden woth happy dust they sprinkle on us when we need it🎉
As drawn to mythology as I have been my whole life, I NEVER felt drawn to fairies! I was raised catholic which may have something to do with that? Also American and I don't think they are talked about as much here other than Tinkerbell. But I remember the first time I saw a mushroom circle one foggy early morning. I was in awe. But still, I wasn't thinking fairies. More like...just another world or relm.
But as a witch you hear about fairies quite a bit and just as I do with dieties, I retain the information but it doesn't pertain to me. Or....so I thought.
A couple weeks ago I was actually watching a funny video where another witch had asked "What are the craziest things you were told as a new witch?"
She was reading the answers and commenting on them, and something was said about fairies. Something about gifting/offerings to fairies. The witch replied "I've never been drawn to fairies myself, I know almost nothing about them, but even I know that you NEVER accept a gift from a faerie!" - I did not know that. And something just.... clicked. And I wanted to learn more.
Not from some random people talking about them, but something exactly like THIS video. Well researched. The lore, what people actually have been saying about them for thousands of years, from people who have this so ingrained in their culture. Now I can't get enough and I truly truly in my heart know that they exist. And when I heard they made a video on DRAGONS?!?!?! Well...
I surprised my teacher in 4th grade when we were assigned to make a 4D castle craft and bring it in to present and be graded. I did as much research as much as an 8-9 year old could do (in an age where it was not yet required to have a computer in your home). I always loved Dragons and felt so drawn to them and believed them to be real at a very young age..when I was researching them I discovered Wyverns which I was extraordinarily drawn to as well. So I added one to my castle.
But my teacher asked me where the dragons other legs were, to which I replied "Ms. Cox, it's a Wyvern and they only have two legs!" She was quite confused and did a quick search to discover what I had read in a library book. I don't think she was expecting to learn something from an 8 year old about the lesson she was teaching 😂
To anyone who took the time to read all of that, just remember to trust your gut and if you feel like you're being pulled toward learning about something, enlighten yourself! Myth and Magick will keep your heart young and allow your imagination to run wild ❤🧚♀️🐉🧝♀️🧙♂️🧝♂️🔮👹💫🖤🤍🧜♀️🧜♂️🧞♂️🧞♀️🦄🌬🪄🧿🪞🗿
I never believed in them until I seen them .. thought I was going crazy ! 100,000+ videos and pictures and about 5 years of researching and observing the fey folk, and nope. Not crazy after all, they are quite real!
I totally believe in faeries
i like your profile pic
Tinker Bell did also try to kill Wendy in the Disney movie, though Disney doesn't tend to bring it up in her modern appearances.
I'm surprised why you did not mention Eddie Lenihan at all in your section on Ireland. He has the largest private collection of Irish fairy stories recorded from the 70's up until today and the man has a podcast here on UA-cam as well as several books on Irish fairy folklore.
thanks for putting me on to Eddie.
Thank you for mentioning him, I'm going to look him up right now.
@@lccsd2392 Always happy to do that.
@@zeldapinwheel7043 I'm glad! I feel it's very strange he wasn't mentioned here at all, even if he's a bit biased about some things, his work is important.
oh thank you! i'll look up his work, love irish folk
In France we do not have a tooth fairy but a mouse of the tooth. A litle magical mouse who trade tooth for money under the pillow.
What part of France are you from? I'm from the US and I'm very familiar with this!
In other words, a færie mouse. ✔
That must be where the Celeste and Ernestine movie came from.
That is MUCH cuter than the little tinker bell looking tooth faerie omggggg just imagine
@@EchoLog?? More like what part of the USA are you from?
I enjoy listening to these longer episodes on long drives. I also want to add that there is a North American entity called the Kushtaka that resembles early faery myths, particularly the dead who join the fey rather than suffer a mortal death.
Which contemporaries will recognise as the Davy Jones contract from POTC, but I grew up knowing such occurrences as 'The Dark/black pact'.
I also wonder if Anne Rice was inspired similarly when she made Lestat the vampire refer to vampirism as the dark gift?
I was told by a lady from The Isle of Man that it is impolite to call them “ fairies”. They call them “ The little folk”.
I thought that sentence was going to end very differently lol
@@Liboo52 I’m curious
@@annhitchcock3093 “fairy” is also a derogatory term for a gay man

Do they mention the fae in D&D?
Charles!!!!! Thank you!!! I was just telling my friends about your channel a few hours ago and then here you are, uploading 3 hours on fairies, God bless you
Very beautiful scenery of the highlands and Scottish countryside segment and of the lakes and horses thank you very much . A well prepared,presented, professional Production once again Thank you both and your support staff! 2:54:54
Some scenery u see looks like natural mountains but are in fact megalithic fabrikated Block works..
oh finally! I've been waiting for this one since day 1! Thank you guys!!!
I have a great knack for finding four leaf clovers. I’ve found hundreds & hundreds over the years, no exaggeration. At one place I lived there was a three by three patch of grass & clovers that was always filled with four leaf & even five & six leaf clovers. I collected hundreds there alone over the two years I lived there. Anyway as a kid I would dig under every four leaf clover I found searching for the leprechaun underneath. I swear as a kid I saw one once (I mean kid self me swore I did). I was amazed by leprechauns but I never believed the teachers in school when the school leprechaun messed up the room. I believed they played little tricks on us individually instead & I often thought they were messing with me.
A family member also has this knack for 4 leaf clovers, i've been pressing & laminating them
Four leaf clovers are not associated with Leprechauns, however shamrocks are. A shamrock has 3 heart shaped leaves while a clover has 3-5 round leaves. Totally different species from what Ireland is represented by.
@@padraigmaclochlainn8866 The Shamrock, as the story goes, is what St.Patrick used to illustrate the concept of the Holy Trinity, 3 seperate leaves simultaneously existing as the constituients of One Being.
@@mtsanonymous Exactly, the Shamrock, which grows a yellow bell like flower. Clovers which have rounded leaves and jagged white or purple flowers are not Shamrocks and are an entirely separate species.
I believe you🎉
Charles and Crofty are awesome! Thanks for such amazing content! If you guys ever need a 3rd member to the team let me know! I could do work behind the scenes!
I'd love to research for a podcast too. I research for myself, so I would love to help share it.
Never clicked so fast
That’s something a fairy would say 🤔
Same here
heck yesss, I've been hoping for you to cover fairies * - *
I will watch this as soon as I finish my damn term paper
Love that comment! So relatable. Lol.
Congrats on finishing this - can't wait for part 2!
i’ve been wanting and patiently waiting this topic since the podcast began !!! it’s a little mini hyperfixation for me rn as well so literally perfect timing 💗
I'm as well . I often see faeries on old photographs among vegetation ; usually flowers. And sometimes buzzing around amongst dragon flies and hummingbirds. I always get a good FEELING when I think of faeries; I believe they are inherently good and get a bad rap from giving
"Bad guys" what's theirs. Like destroyers of Mother nature getting their just desserts. They flit and zip around just a bit differently than Any other flying creature and are protective of children and some of those that really believe! I also believe they can inter-dimensionally travel and shapeshifter into other small creatures; other magical tiny creatures, animals and insects...The Spanish book " El Labrinto del Pan " with English sub-titles is a great film! The faeries aren't so beautiful by human standards but are so magical and beautiful in helping an abused CHILD...
@@mariovillarreal8647Totally agree with you. Thats what I think too. I love of the idea of checking old photos for fairy. I’m going to start doing that too.
Just as an aside, my real name means Queen of the fairies.
And one time a few years ago I was wearing my long pink dress and was leaving the shopping centre with a large ornate white curtain rod I had purchased. An older gentleman ran up behind me and said, ‘you’re probably going to think I’m crazy but from a distance I thought for a minute you were a real fairy Queen!’
He thought the curtain rod was a kind of ‘staff’ lol
That comment made my day! 💖
@@frankboff1260 that's so cool. I saw a woman at the gas pump and said. "Hi, and how she made a beautiful day more so..." but went about my business right after. But I realized how much like a elven fairy princess she looked afterward and regretted not saying this. I don't know if she dressed that way intentionally but it was very ethereal, almost Supernatural and she was quite pleasant about our short interaction. And the image didn't really sink in until I'd left. I'd swear she was a fairy princess! Thank you for sharing. Mario SirSirReal Villarreal AKA Marman ❤️ Thanks
I've seen both the Tinker Bell looking kind of fairy and the Bean-Sidhe (Banshee) type of fairy. I've never seen the Cat-Sidhe...but we we still leave milk out for him every Halloween as is custom. One year I forgot to leave the milk out because I celebrated away from home that year....and our farm blighted that year! Dead crops and still born claves. So I'll always leave that milk out now no matter what.
I just listened to the Mindshock podcast a very interesting episode about the Celtic Otherworld, 2 hours of fairy mithology just like this! Awesome to see this one appear now!
These are always done so well, folklore is so awesome!!
The moment I seen this my day got much much better.
I just found your channel yesterday and I think I found a 💎. Greetings from Oregon 🇺🇸
Would love to see an (3 hour) episode on Morgan le Fay.
Enjoyed the episode and can certainly appreciate the effort you took to produce it.
I can't cite the source ("The Mabinogion"?) but I distinctly remember reading a story about Queen Mab being the reason Caridwen's son , Morvan, was so hideous. (Don't remember if Mab used magic to make him hideous or if Morvan was a changeling). I just remember Mab was in a snit.
Since I was researching Taliesin I didn't pay close attention to Morvan's backstory. As Shakespeare often "borrowed" plots & stories, it's not a stretch to imagine he might have heard or read about Queen Mab prior to his mentioning her in "Romeo and Juliet".
Do we know where Shelley first heard about Queen Mab?
Just found your podcast and it is already my favorite! I hope there are many, many more to come
The only example I can think of in the Zelda series of fairies giving physical items is in Link to the Past where a specific fairy fountain upgrades items that you throw into it. This is refined in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom where the Great Fairies upgrade your clothing. That specific instance is based on an (I think originally Greek) story about a woodsman who drops his axe into a pool, and the nymph who lives there offers him a silver or gold axe. When he honestly answers that they aren't the axe he lost, she rewards him by letting him keep all three. So there's nothing to do with traditional fairy folklore in that usage.
(There's also the Great Fairy Sword in Majora's Mask, but that feels like a pure video game invention)
Great episode as always gents, I also appreciate the effort put into trying the welsh words - not an easy undertaking for non natives!
thank you - i appreciate listening & learning
my Grandmother - Sarah Ellen Colton - her mother came from Ireland in the south - she was Lutheran too - and before she died - she spent a month visiting Ireland and the town my Granny Elsie came from in south Ireland
--- maybe one day i'll get to visit Ireland 🇮🇪💚🤍🧡☘️
My favourite part of Bram Stoker's Dracula is when he peers through that window and says: "Dude! Let me in. I'm a fairy... What? Don't you believe in fairies!?"
Love the visual format, and the podcast as well of course but the video reel and frame looks great
Wow, this is the exact study of my dnd vtt liveplay i post on youtube. Much inspiration from what you have previously covered, but heres the good stuff. Waited with bated breath.
I'm entranced you guys! 🥰
I'm so happy you included the Formorians. They intermarried, have the giant Basalt walkway named after them.
I'm tingling with delight.
Dresden Files is one of my favorite series of books, very glad to see it mentioned! :D
Great stuff - thanks for doing this guys! Much appreciated! 🙂
Im always so happy when Jim Butchers works are brought up 😂❤
Its peculiar how eerily similar these tales about the fairies such as the wife returning to the lake with her dowry are to ancient Finnish folk tales.
Thank you both 😊
keep going gents. 1 million subs round the corner
Very food practical determination of interpretation on past writing. 100% love it only after 28 minutes in. ❤
Good not food*
Thank you for this! It is wonderful! ❤ 🧚♂️
Time for another flood of new age type recommendations because I watched this, I guess. Worth it!
Really enjoyed your presentation! Thank you for your efforts!
An interesting tidbit... Before the Peter Pan novel, Wendy was not a common name. It was only afterwards people started naming their children such. Much like Lovecraft trying to insert Pabodie into names, in place of Peabody, except that attempt didn't take hold.
Comment for the algorithm, this episode was great!! been excited for it ever since the hint at the end of the last one
Thank you for this excellent video! I enjoyed listening to nearly all of it, and it makes me want to read some fairy stories again. I was reminded of Lanval a few times; I may have to give it a go soon.
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
That's an amazing video! Thanks for sharing this awesomeness with us
I would have liked more illustrations and text, as a multifaceted learner, and an American. I know you guys worked long and hard in this topic, and it is wonderful, that is why I think it deserves an upgrade.
Wtf does being an American have to do with needing pictures to help you learn 😂
@@jackcarlson8875I think what they’re trying to say is that us Americans are real stupid and need pretty pictures to go with big words.
Thank for this! 💜
Great content! Thank you for all your work on this video. ❤

I’m dressing as a sugarplum fairy for Halloween 🧚♀️
Cute! I might dress as a fairy too. I need to get or make wings tho 😅
This video is published and I suddenly know what I'm doing this afternoon, listening to Charles' duclet tones.
Did I already listen to the podcast episodes of this? Yes. Am I also going to listen to this while at work today? Also yes.
So glad you are still making videos. I haven't seen one in far too long.
Which means it's time to binge.
i watched the whole thing, and my high school drama teacher wasn't mentioned once. complete history, my foot!
Your efforts are much appreciated 🙏☯️
Watching this made me recognise the notable fairy inspirations that Brandon Sanderson draws on for the 'spren' creatures in his Stormlight Archives series! Similar to fairies, spren are bound by rules made between them and humans, and they will leave you by cause of those rules. Most notably, some spren can take the form of small humans who float without the use of wings. Spren also have correlations with eastern folklore, and it's great to see how he used aspects from each mythology to create something entirely unique!
Wonderful work again chaps thanks 👍
Fantastic
For the tooth fairy (She) is known in Germany as “Zahnfee” (tooth fairy) known for the same things as in England (but at least in my family she is not really described but more carried by other descriptions of fairy’s) in my imaginations she is a white coloured fairy with wings, she’s got a bag where she keeps the teeth and one with coins (which transform into the correct amount of money under the pillow) she is able to change her own size to fit into smaller spaces but is mostly in her pretty much human (child) sized form.
She mostly works alone on outside missions but got a Treebase in the woods where she has some helpers mostly male.
Thanks to this video I actually thought a bit more of my own image of the tooth fairy and it’s quite interesting
Love this type of content and even more your voices
You’re channel is great cause it’s just the facts. No bs.
I have a request… can you please do a video on blemmys.
Headless men?
That should be interesting with the headless horseman here in NY Sleepy hallow. The stories are incredible.
Dogmen would be a good one too.🤔
But blemmy is an intriguing discussion. 🤷🏾♂️
I was a mermaid in another lifetime, so I can't wait for the episode on mermaids! I love all of your content-- thank you for compiling each of these discussions.
Cool!
I used to be a bear in another lifetime. I've lived a few lifetimes and am hopeful to try another lifetime, hopefully for 900 years next time.
Great episode!!
Great stuff! They loved it down at the bottom of my garden.
Great video thanks.
Check out the mothman from Virginia USA. It almost reminds me of your description of a fairy. The mothman is bigger tho
Do you mean from Point Pleasant WV?
@@tessaburkhamer3856 yeah. Sorry. Forgot to put West there.
@@tiffanym1108 NP ~ I was curious that there might be a Mothman in VA.
Hi there from Germany, Lower Saxony to be more precise. Here the Tooth Fairy is a thing as well, but they're leaving little trinkets instead of money if you leave your tooth under your cushion. For me my older sister did the job.
In the Disney movie, tinkerbell almost got the lost boys to kill Wendy
Yeah I feel like the movie mostly displays tinkerbell as being consumed by one emotion as well.
Imagine how incredible the world would be if such creatures existed.
you guys unlocked such a memory for me T-T i dont know who told me it but i learned about the farmer and the fairy when i was little
great story telling voice, thank you
No tooth fairy in France... we have the "little mouse" instead 🐀❤ But she does the same thing, take the tooth and leaves you a little gift instead😊
This is so interesting !!!
re: Robert Kirk's grave - 'lumen lingua hibernium' (apologies if I spelled that wrong) means 'light of the Irish language' - people in Scotland then referred to Gaelic as the Irish language, or Erse. The inscription (I think) refers to Kirk's work translating the bible to Gaelic, etc
i absolutely love these videos and they’re very informal! is there a way you can make a video on cannibalism? its become a interesting topic of mine and i would love to hear more info from this channel!
Excellent post
What a well put together documentary... i love informing people of the fae and in fact have used that as my name since i was 11 online... greenfaerie
Current Anannaki script has beings such as fairy elves and other creatures that worked for the gods collecting the h Gold.
Interested in the Changeling issue. In recent times people have been accused of being fairey changlings. It went to court.
Thanks for your efforts as usual. well done episode. Please do more Japanese stuff.

3 hours on the Fae. SUBSCRIBED😂❤!
We had a leprechaun with a big horse which threw a shoe, we found it next day, a huge old horseshoe. Funny thing I thought it was a waking dream until my partner woke up and said “ oh it’s just a horse with a leprechaun “ as it pead on the carpet which ended destroyed at that spot after the house sunk suddenly the next day and I went flying carrying 2x20 litre water filled buckets, collapsing a lung and breaking ribs all going undiagnosed for a year. It was weird. I’ve still got the horseshoe on my front door though 13 years later my partner is deceased.
I didn't even feel the five hours passing. This is what I chose to do for Samhain. Great research. I'm so glad the peeps voted for this over werewolves.
I love your podcast, and for a quick suggestion - if you’re specifying a place or thing that has importance maybe you could put the spelling on the video version? I understand if it’s too much editing.
someone else has probably said this already but bannock exists in alot of indigenous cultures, including acorss north america !
Going home late last night
