The Night before the Tea of the Fey

Fey : Having or displaying an otherworldly, magical, or fairylike aspect or quality

I am

Hemlock Elfshimmer

And this is my friend

Pink Ears, the fey bunny

And this is my very bestest friend

Nettle Willowdancer

She casts weird dreams.

She lives in brambles and blackberry bushes.

She can only be seen when the bees swarm 

and the crickets chirrup.

She wears blue and green like berries 

and leaves and has delicate lilac coloured wings like a cicada.

and this is where we live in the magical woods

Word History: The history of the words fey and fay illustrates a rather fey coincidence. Our word fay, "fairy, elf," the descendant of Middle English faie, "a person or place possessed of magical properties," and first recorded around 1390, goes back to Old French fae, "fairy," the same word that has given us fairy. Fae in turn comes from Vulgar Latin Fta, "the goddess of fate," from Latin ftum, "fate." If fay goes back to fate, so does fey in a manner of speaking, for its Old English ancestor fge meant "fated to die." The sense we are more familiar with, "magical or fairylike in quality," seems to have arisen partly because of the resemblance in sound between fay and fey.
