Today is a day for fairy collectors, believers, and artists to celebrate the stories, magic, and history of fairies! Fairies are of pagan origin and are known throughout Celtic cultures. It is believed that they are mythological creatures that possess magical powers. They are also viewed as a very intelligent species, distinct from humans or angels. They have the ability to fly and cast spells and they live in the Land of Eternal Youth. Mortals cannot often see fairies because of the division of the worlds, but they can sometimes be seen at twilight.

In J.M Barrie's 1902 novel The Little White Bird, he claims that fairies originated from the laughter of an infant. When the first baby laughed for the first time, his laugh broke into a million pieces and they all went skipping about about in the form of fairies. To celebrate today, reconnect with your childhood and imagination and celebrate fairies!
