Changes

'''Fairies''' are small winged, human-like creatures with magical powers. The existence of fairies has long been documented in eyewitness accounts, folk tales, art and literature. Fairies were once widespread in [[Europe]] and [[North America]] but have become increasingly rare since the advent of industrial [[agriculture]] and the urbanisation of their natural [[habitat]]. Fairies are thought to have reached North America unnoticed on the boats of the early colonists.

'''Fairies''' are mythical small winged, human-like creatures described as having [[magic]]al powers.  

In 1691, one reliable witness, the Reverend Robert Kirk, Minister of the Parish of Aberfoyle, [[Scotland]], described fairies as "of middle nature between Man and Angel, as were Daemons thought to be of old; of intelligent fluidous Spirits, and light changeable bodies (lyke those called Astral) somewhat of the nature of a condensed cloud, and best seen in twilight. These bodies be so pliable through the sublety of Spirits that agitate them, that they can make them appear or disappear at pleasure"<ref>The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies, Forgotten Books 2007</ref>
