Who is a Fae?

The term "Fae" refers to a variety of mythical beings or legendary creatures found in the folklore of multiple European cultures, including Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, and French traditions.

Often depicted as anthropomorphic and possessing metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural qualities, Fae are commonly associated with nature and magic.

They are sometimes seen as spirits of the dead, prehistoric precursors to humans, or even demoted angels or demons within Christian contexts.

Fae may be benevolent or malevolent, with some cultures distinguishing between the two through classifications like the Seelie and Unseelie Courts in Scottish folklore.

The Seelie Court consists of fairies deemed mostly good, while the Unseelie Court includes those considered harmful to humans.

Despite these classifications, Fae are known for their trickery and capricious nature, often playing pranks on humans or leading them astray.

In literature and art, Fae have been portrayed in various ways, from the enchanting and beautiful to the mischievous or even sinister.

Their depiction has evolved over time, influenced by cultural changes and artistic interpretations.

Today, the concept of Fae continues to inspire stories, films, and artwork, capturing the imagination with their elusive and magical essence.

What happens if a fae knows your name?

According to some folklore and fantasy stories, if a fae knows your name, it can have power over you.
This means that the fae can use your name to control your actions, thoughts, emotions, or even your soul.
Some fae may use your name to trick you, harm you, or make you do their bidding.
Others may use your name to protect you, help you, or form a bond with you.
The power of a name depends on the type and intention of the fae who knows it.

Some ways to avoid giving your name to a fae are:
  • Use a nickname or a false name when talking to a fae.

  • Ask the fae for their name first, and see if they will trade it for yours.

  • Wear or carry an amulet or charm that protects you from fae magic.

  • Avoid answering questions that may reveal your name, such as where you were born, what your parents' names are, or what your favorite song is.

If a fae already knows your name, you may try to:
  • Negotiate with the fae to get your name back, or exchange it for something else.

  • Find out the fae's true name, and use it to counter their power over you.

  • Seek help from someone who knows how to deal with fae, such as a witch, a druid, or a fairy godmother.
