Fantasy Fairies..and More
|
In a Scottish tale of how fairies came to be..and it goes something like this. When God was making the world, there were many beings made before peoplekind. Some like a few of the angels wanted to follow Lucifer and make their home elsewhere. They burst out of heaven, leaving the gates ajar. The fury of this sucked some others out who didn't mean to leave. God became aware of this and sealed the gates shut again stating "Let those who are out..stay out and those who are in..stay in!" The rebellious angels made their home in hell, but the beings who had been forced out involuntarily were left to live on Earth and these became the Fairy Folk.
