n this small book you will ffiind some curiosities about fairies and the magic around them. All that I can say is that everything that I have learnt about these wonderful creatures is compiled in one of the most important books in the Isoteric World. I can’t evan say its title, but I can transmit a little bit of their interesting manuscripts. I hope you enjoy some of the complex nature of the fairies that I have simplified especially for you. I trust that you will know how to understand and protect them, because they don’t survive too many.

here are several theories about the origin of the fairies, and very different:
For the Celts and the Slavs, the fairies descend from the rebellious angels who, when they were thrown from the sky, took refuge in the sea, in the air, in the mountains and rivers. Some popular beliefs still maintain that these beings are the oldest of the planet, a primitive race, that were born before the mountains or the seas were formed. Another theory holds that the origin of the fairies was in ancient Rome, where they had prophetic powers, and when the Romans decided to conquer the rest of Europe the fairies decided to accompany them. We all agree on a common point: the relationship of the fairies with nature.

he Anatomy of the Fairies is one of the main sciences in the magical world, which studies different species. This obviously includes professional applications, which need a precise exposition of the specific differences and important considerations of the topography. The most complete bibliographical source referring to Anatomy of the Fairies can be found in the books published by Professor Vivien Periwinkle. We should know that fairies don’t die by themselves, they are eternal. However, they could be killed (that’s what humans often do). Fairy dust is responsible for making them immortal.
