When is International Fairy Day?
Saturday June 24thDAY IS INTERNATIONAL FAIRY DAY.
On June 24th, Fantasy, imagination, and a little bit of pixie dust all came together to celebrate International Fairy Day.. These tiny supernatural animals have captivated myth and legend for generations. Today, the wee folk's tales are told in animated books, miniature garden displays, and children's books.
Depending on the culture, there is some reference to a spirit or spritely creature that performs either good or evil deeds. Often, there are many versions of these beings, but not so many have been so intricately embedded into the culture as those of the Celts.
There are brownies and hobgoblins that barely resembled the delightful looking fairies described in film and art today. They were, however, helpful little creatures, doing household chores, and the tedious jobs that leave us mere humans weary at the end of the day.
The banshees are the most dangerous of the fairy family's. They are the harbinger of ill fortune. This ardent Bean Sidhe predicted death, according to Irish legend. Various interpretations of her tale have appeared in Ireland and Scotland. She was often eerie and gruesome, a ghost tale for soldiers and childbearing women.
