faerie
Wee magical creature
Faerie is an archaic or literary spelling of fairy, often used to evoke a more mysterious, otherworldly quality than the standard spelling suggests.
It can refer to the realm of supernatural beings: the land of faerie.
Writers use this spelling to distinguish darker, more powerful folk creatures from the diminutive, whimsical fairies of children's stories.
