The Book of Enoch equates the fairies with the Fallen Angels. The Fairies had allied themselves with Satan and were cast out of heaven. On their journey to hell, God stopped them in mid-flight, condemning them to life on earth. St Michael, the patron saint of fairies, was said to have interceded with God on their behalf, and they were given the dark and remote places of the earth in which to dwell. It is also believed they are the dead souls of the mythical Tuatha de Danann, who are related to the Biblical giants or Nephilim, who were the prodigy of the Fallen Angels. Many of the Fairies are gentle, giving creatures who will not harm if left alone. Many stories tell of how they helped the locals, giving them aid in their harvest and leaving them gold for the slightest acts of kindness towards them. Many stories contradict this: they were known to steal babies and leave screaming monster babies called changelings in their place. The fairies captured many others to live a life of servitude. When released, a hundred years had passed. The acts of the fairies are so varied it is impossible to list them in this short summation. Six hundred stories are within this book that spans Europe, Iceland, and North America. It is the most extensive collection of Fairy stories in print that will allow you, the reader, to decide whether they are good or evil or both.
