faery
Archaic magical being
Faery is an archaic or literary spelling of fairy, evoking the older, more mysterious sense of the fairy realm rather than the diminutive winged creatures of children's stories.
It suggests enchantment and otherworldliness: the faery folk, a faery queen.
The spelling appears in fantasy literature and neo-pagan contexts to distinguish magical beings from sanitized modern fairies.
