Pixies are mischievous mythical creatures of folklore. Believed to have originated from Ireland. Their features are usually described as having pointed ears, they are often wearing a green outfit and a pointed hat, and their eyes are also described as being pointed upwards at the temple ends. I believe that these little creatures are actually real.
People think that they are just little people or fallen angels and there are two theories too support these accusations. Some people believe that the pixies may have been a race of people who weren’t good enough for heaven and weren’t bad enough for hell, and would have to remain on earth forever because of this. The second theory is that they were druids who refused to accept Christianity and were condemned to grow smaller and smaller until they did.
Pixies are very playful creatures and they love to play tricks on people. They like to steal peoples things and throw it at them, they would steal horses but give them back before dawn, with tangled manes to show they had been their. Sometimes pixies would also lead travelers in the wrong direction.
To the people in Ireland pixies aren’t always good. So they believe that if you feel the fine magic on you then you should turn your jacket inside out to confuse them so you can escape. They can also be repelled with iron, fire, oatmeal, urine, the bible, and other holy symbols. The most powerful one is iron because it actually burns their skin and can kill them if it gets into their blood.
I can’t find any facts or proof that pixies don’t exist, but the number one reason why people don’t believe in them is because they can’t see them.
In conclusion my feelings towards them being real are very strong this is because of the evidence I found while researching, but the main one was the stories from different people and what they would do to respect them. Now the question is do you believe in them?
