Folklorists generally use the term ‘fairy’ rather loosely, to cover a range of
non-human yet material beings with magical powers. These could be visible or
invisible at will, and could change shape; some lived underground, others in
woods, or in water; some flew. Some were believed to be friendly, giving luck,
prosperity, or useful skills to humans who treated them respectfully; many were
regarded as troublesome pranksters, or, in extreme cases, as minor demons;
sometimes they were blamed for causing sickness, stealing human babies, and
leaving changelings. Human adults might be invited (or abducted) into fairyland.
Fairies can be divided into two major groups: ‘social’ fairies, imagined as
living in communities and pursuing group activities such as dancing and
feasting; and ‘solitary’ fairies, of which some (the brownie type) attach
themselves to human households as helpers and luck-bringers, while others (the
bogey/ boggart type) haunt an open-air site, often as a more-or-less serious
threat to passers-by. But it is not always clear-cut; pixies, for example, can
be either ‘social’ or ‘solitary’, while Robin Goodfellow behaves equally readily
as prankster or helpful household sprite. Conversely, informants sometimes
insist on rigid separations between categories; a brownie, for instance, might
be regarded as a quite different creature from a fairy, and a shape-changing
apparition like the Yorkshire guytrash as something different again—which, from
a functionalist point of view, is true enough. The number of local words for
species and sub-species, and for individuals, is considerable. The original
English term for the whole species was elf, but in Middle English this was
largely replaced by ‘fairy’, borrowed from French.
The clergy, whether
Catholic or Protestant, usually insisted that all such creatures could only be
devils; many realized their similarity to the fauns, satyrs, nymphs, etc., of
classical mythology, which they also regarded as demons. In popular belief,
however, fairies were fitted into the Christian frame of reference in ways which
left them morally ambiguous; in Cornwall, they were said to be angels who
refused to side either with God or with Lucifer when the latter rebelled, and
so, being ‘too good for Hell and too bad for Heaven’, were thrown down to earth
and lived wherever they happened to fall. Alternatively, they could be
identified with ghosts—either of the dead in general, or of special categories
such as unbaptized infants. The latter was commonly said of the
Will-o'-the-Wisp.
Belief in the household brownie (or pixy, or puck) was
closely linked to farming; he threshes corn, tends horses, herds sheep, churns
butter, cleans the kitchen, and so on, like an ideal farm servant. He also
brings prosperity, and can take it away again if offended; he punishes anyone
who mocks him, and those who work badly. The knockers had a similar role in tin
and lead mining, but not in coal mines, indicating that this belief had faded by
the time the latter industry was established.
