The Emergent Portrait of the Fayerie Being and the Christian Influence

Katharine Briggs said that everywhere throughout the British Isles, the overall picture of Fayerie entities (and the right means of behaving in relation to them) was close enough to being uniform to make the following pronouncements about Fayeries in general:

1. They are connected to the dead

2. Secrecy and reserve is needed in mentioning them

3. The favors they do for a man or woman must not be boasted of

4. They must not be rewarded for favors they do

5. It is generally against etiquette to thank them for anything

6. They are greedy for mortal children

7. They desire to take young girls and nursing mothers

8. They often desire the help of human midwives in the birthing of their own children

9. They mostly all have the power to be invisible, though herbs and charms can undo that power

10. Some among them will help mortals in their work

11. If their ways and wishes are regarded, they give prosperity or smaller gifts

12. If they are offended or taboos are broken, the punishments they dole out are usually out of seeming proportion to the offense.
