Preach!
I sometimes wonder at how horrified a 17th century parent would be at the idea that fairies would one day be seen as cute things for children.
totally agree. I believe this actually one of the RFmembers.One thing about fairies I definitely believe is that we badly need to get away from the Disney image.
Can we please go back to portraying them like this:
Or this:
No more sparkly ballerinas please!

Of course they are. There are two kinds of real life one's.
Those in the LGBTQ community that identify as "fairy".
And in the pagan Wiccan community there is the Fae faith, wherein some faithful refer to their path as "fairy" and themselves as Fae.

Those aren't fairy's. The first is the Headless Horseman. The second is the twisted art of Ulderico FiorettiOne thing about fairies I definitely believe is that we badly need to get away from the Disney image.

Fran me boy, you shouldn't be inquiring too much into the ways of the Fae folk, they do not take to kindly to being talk about.

The first is a depiction of the Dullahan from Irish folklore. The second is a depiction of the Nuckelavee from Orcadian folklore.
Sometimes fairies were depicted as beautiful, like the Tuatha Dé Danann. Sometimes they were depicted as monstrous.
Keep in mind that for a long time "fairy" and "demon" meant the same thing.
Is it possible to have something exist and have no evidence of it existing? Ok thats a fact actually.
Is it possible to have evidence of something existing but no evidence of it actually existing?
I may not have worded that correctly but i think its fairly accurate.
To an extent. I thanked the fairies and spirits throughout the process of weeding my lawn the other day, and managed not to get bit by a single insect, might be on to something here.

Your second statement sounds nonsensical. Either you have evidence or you don't.
Yes, things exist that we do not have evidence for. The time to believe they exist is when we do have evidence.
Dark. Matter dark energy.. We see that there is evidence of something going one but alas no evidence of any thing visible we can point to at the same time.
It is an interrsting problem actually
