Long after these stories squander their capital with adults we continue to tell them to children. Eventually they seem to become age appropriate. If it's any consolation, the fairy stories I was told had nothing to do with friendly little pixies. I still wont swim in a river...lol. The si are things that catholics feared even when they crossed oceans. They brought them along for the ride.
Well Lugh and the Sí can't realy be seperated in my eyes. Did you ever see the curtom of puncturing the bottoms of egg shells to stop fairies and evil spirits crossing water.
I have a fascination with old customs and superstitions.
