Pixies (also Piskies, Pisgies, Pigsies) are mythical creatures of folklore. Though Pixies and Faeries seem to have much in common, and are often viewed as interchangeable, they are two distinct species. In folklore Pixies and Faeries are antagonists and fought a huge battle many eons ago. The Pixies were victorious and the Faeries are said to have left after their loss. Some adherents find Pixies to have a human origin or to “partake of human nature” in distinction to Faeries whose mythology is traced to immaterial spirit forces.
Pixies are said to be nearly ageless and uncommonly beautiful, though there are some called Pixie who have a distorted and strange appearance. There is a debate as to whether or not Pixies have wings. Pixies are usually described as having green, slanted eyes and pointed ears. In art they are often depicted wearing a green outfit and pointed hat. These are Victorian Era conventions and not part of the older mythology. In fact, legend has it that Pixies generally go unclothed, though they are sensitive to human need for covering. They do have a weakness for bits of finery, and a piece of ribbon appears to be highly prized by them.
In some places it has been said that pixies are “invisibly small, and harmless or even friendly to man.” Others say that they are no larger than a human hand but can change their size at will. In yet other legends and accounts they are presented as having near human stature. There are as many discrepancies as to the origin of Pixies as there are conflicting descriptions. Pixies are fond of music and dancing. They dance in the shadows of the standing stones, or gambol on the edges of tumbling streams. Their bells can be heard deep in the heart of the many tors on the moor. Those who believe that Pixies are benign in nature say they are helpful to humans, sometimes helping needy widows and others with housework (which links them with other household Elves such as Brownies). Pixies are said to reward consideration and punish neglect. By their presence they bring blessings to those who are fond of them. Pixies also bless the land. They are forest creatures whom other wild creatures find alluring and nonthreatening. They love humans, even taking some for mates. However, some Pixies have been known to be malicious tricksters who enjoy playing pranks on people. They may steal humans' belongings, or throw pots and pans after kitchen girls.
Pixies are drawn to horses and love to ride them across the moor for pleasure, twisting their manes to spur them on. They steal the horses or ponies at night and bring them back before dawn, leaving only the tangled ringlets in the manes as evidence. Some Pixies are said to steal children or to play their favorite trick - leading humans astray. Sometimes Pixies may confuse mortals so thoroughly that they never recover and wander aimlessly through the countryside singing or talking a mysterious language. This condition is known as being "Pixie-Led". If one felt the onset of a Pixie Spell, one could foil a Pixie by turning their coat inside-out. The term "Pixie-Led" has been transformed into the modern word "pixilated", which has nothing to do with computer images at all but instead means: behaving as if mentally unbalanced, very eccentric, whimsical, prankish, bemused, intoxicated or drunk. Those who deliberately follow Pixies often vanish without a trace.
Pixies are “great explorers familiar with the caves of the ocean, the hidden sources of the streams and the recesses of the land.” Some are said to exude PixieDust, which is left in their footprints. Pixies can be repelled by objects made from silver as contact with the metal can harm them, another trait they share in common with the Faeries. Farmers can stay in good terms with pixies by leaving buckets of water out at night for pixie mothers to wash their babies, leaving out a pitcher of milk for them to drink, and keeping the hearth swept clean for pixies to dance on at midnight. Before the mid 19th Century Pixies and Faeries were taken seriously in many areas. Books devoted to the homely beliefs of the peasantry are filled with incidents of Pixie manifestations. Even within living memory, some rural families left small gifts, such as bowls of food or saucers of milk, for the Pixies in order to placate them. But according to one Cornish author by the name of Drew, the Pixies' contact with “normal humans” had diminished by the early 19th Century. “The age of Pixies, like that of Chivalry, is gone. There is, perhaps, at present hardly a house they are reputed to visit. Even the fields and lanes which they formerly frequented seem to be nearly forsaken. Their music is rarely heard.” But now we have PixiesPatch - which is full of mystical creatures and magical plants where everything comes to life!
