French term "fai" comes from the Latin Language "fatae" which means fairy women who visited a home when there is a birth and foresee the future of the baby, as was done by the three fates (Three fates).

The word "fairy" actually means "fat-erie", such as "state ofenchanment and that transferred fromthe object to the agent". Pixie is a "runt" who has great power and authority, especially in the Celtic and Irish mainland.  For people of Irish descent, peri-peri is the origin of their descendants, the Tuatha de Danaan.

According to some researchers, the English term is most appropriate for people with attention problems ethnicity is "Elf". Although the term "Elf" is often a matter of controversy, the author Poortvliet and Huygen, "Elves" is the spirit / soul of air from nature, who loves dancing happily dances and plays stringed musical equipment.

They can also live underground, inside / on the water, in the air, and most of them have wings. Although Elf general term for the tiny people, the other terms are also often used as "sprites", "pixie", "nixie", "fauns", "brownies", "dwarves", "leprechauns", and "fairy ( elf) ".

"Sprite" is a general term for midgets like "pixies", "spirit which means wood spirits, water, or natural spirits, elves from Celtic called" Faeries ". "Dwarf" is commonly used to mention "Dark Elves", but the most commonly preferred term is "The Good Neighbors".

Some other names that they preferred: "The SeelieCourt", "Them Ones", "The Strangers", "The little People", "The Fair Folk", "The Good Folk", "The Forgetful Folk", "The Hidden Folk "," Them "," Mother's Blessing "," The Lovers "," The Night Folk "," The Little Darling ", etc..

There is some controversy among researchers as to who the Good Neighbors is or in other words, What are they exactly? When the question is dealt with in a discussion, we usually get a variety of responses, but most of the human mind mengkonsepkannya as "wee (small)" or "little (small)".

Elves are often told to have a form similar to humans, often also believed to be the embodiment of the spirit or jinn who incarnated as a beautiful woman who likes to interrupt. Fairies sometimes described as having a long and pointy ears, and have long hair. Peri also often described could shapeshift, or take the form of a beautiful woman who can suddenly disappear. 

Peri also often identified as mythological beings. In the depiction in folklore that uses the term "fairy", is often different definition of what it actually fairies, on the one hand this name is often associated with supernatural beings, such as demons, but on the other hand, the fairies are described as being more real.

"Elves" can take various forms, as a people with a variety of beauty, god of sex, old women, men limp / lame hunchback, goats, cows, pigs, witches, caterpillars, butterflies, cats, rocks, leaves, plants, cobwebs, or even a breeze. Their size ranges from the size of an insect to a larger size than humans. They are unstable and easily change shape in various forms and nature, and can not be distinguished from one another.

Too many experts tales (folklorist) is conducting research to investigate this phenomenon first, this is not the case. Many researchers stated that the description of the dwarf with the insect wing is a simple evolution of knowledge and customs, initially these stories do not portray them as small or dwarf, it actually has the same size as humans.

As to the question whether they exist or not, all we need to do is ask an Irishman who would briefly replied, "I do not believe in fairies, but they are there".

Elves can be described as good (helping people) or evil. Described benevolent fairy is a fairy house that lived with humans. However, not all illustrated fairy house out in the evening, there was also a house elf that came out during the day.

While described as a cause of the evil fairy misled anyone in his way. Peri is also often described as mischievous (naughty and fun), whether good or mischief that brings disrepute. In Europe a naughty little boy and difficult to control is often described as "just like a little fairy".

Housing 

The depiction of the origins of fairies are often associated with a type / class of supernatural creatures such as demons, which often originate from mountainous areas. Didi they live underground, inside / on the water, and in the air. 

However, in its development, fairies portrayed as small creatures that can sleep on flowers, live in the forest and the trees keep the so-called fairy forest, or staying indoors with humans like a house elf character.

In Legend

Many Christians believe that they are angels who rebelled in heaven, and then thrown out, and because they are not too nasty to go to hell, they are sent to live forever on earth and that is why they could very well act like angels or otherwise as the devil.

Many believe paintings are artistic fairies with wings, an amalgamation of the angel made by Christians. Some are given as a variation of the dwarfs with insect wings, body size, shadow ghosts, half beast and half man, and has the nature of god.

Confidence in the Good Folk flourished in the past when everything was surrounded by spirits / ghosts. Trees or corals lose the name "Fred" or "Krystal" which is part of the daily life of the nation. So is the "Good Folk". They are symbolized by a title and play an important role in everyone's life. 

But this is a time when everyone believed in many gods, gods, spirits, ancestors, and creatures. Nowadays, if someone stated, believe in fairies they are often ostracized. "So, if they exist, why can not we see it?" This is a question that may arise in our minds all the time.

In the songs that contain magical powers the web of life can also make us able to see them easily, such as the poet, astrologer, musician, shaman, one who has clairvoyance (the sharpness of feelings), and naturalist.

Hallucinogenic substances and herbs, magical ceremonies, and changes in circumstances, can also allow many people to get to see them. A conviction even though the conditions for opening relations with them have emotional ties or "blood relationship" with them.

Where this movie brings Hollywood fantasy elements, animation, trend over patrial (paternal line), and the parable - this brings the true heart and spirit of the wood. They are guarded by wooden dilindungidan. They are also protected by the natural reefs, land, sea, or sky.
