“Where Fairies Meet: Parallels between Irish and Romanian Fairy Traditions” by Daniela Simina (Pagan Portals)

"Traditions surrounding fairies are, essentially, a cross-generational compass that helps young and old to orient themselves into the ever-changing cultural landscape. As such, fairy traditions allow people to position themselves on the time-space continuum, not only through perpetuation of values but also through connecting deeper with the subtler realms that surround and interpenetrate consensus reality.
