Are faeries real? Where do faeries live? What’s the difference between pixies and faeries?
Those are some readers’ questions answered by Fiona Broome in this 15-minute podcast about faeries and boggarts.
The questions include:
- Are faeries real?
- Do faeries exist?
- What do faeries look like?
- How do you see faeries?
- Is there proof that faeries are real? Is there proof that faeries aren’t real?
- How do faeries procreate?
- Where do faeries live?
- What is the difference between pixies and faeries?
- Can Christians believe in faeries?
After that, Fiona talks about one kind of faerie, a boggart. Boggarts are shape-shifters, and a good example of the darker side of the faerie realm. Though boggarts can seem like demons or poltergeists, they aren’t actually demons. Some boggarts might be dangerous, but faeries — in general — are neither all good nor all bad. Don’t let the boggarts scare you too much.
