Pixy Terminology

 

Term: Definition:
A Midsummer Night's Dream: A Shakespearean Drama that is set in Athens of Greece. It also has faeries who lives in the Athenian Woods. The faeries in drama includes Oberon, Puck, Titania. See also, Love Juice.
Elf: A wingless pixy of any gender. See also, Leprechan.
Elven King: A male elf who rules a monarchy.
Elven Monarch: An elf of any gender who rules a monarchy.
Faery: A pixy of any gender with insect like wings at the back of the torso. All faeries have the ability to fly by flapping their wings. Most humans stereotype faeries to be only female &/or always magical. This stereotype is mainly evident in storybooks for young minors. Not all faeries are always female, nor they are always magical. See Oberon. Also, some humans use the word faery to mean any type of pixy regardless whether if the pixy has wings or not. Using the word faery like that, is against the rules that I am currently defining in GonklanguageTM.
Faeryism: The acknowledgement of the existance of faeries. See also faeryist, tinkerbell. See also, the Faeryism Page, but I have to warn you that this section contains heresy against faeryism.
Faeryist: One who acknowledges the existance of faeries. See also faeryism, tinkerbell. See also, the Faeryism Page, but I have to warn you that this section contains heresy against faeryism.
Faery King: A male faery who rules a monarchy, such as Oberon.
Faery Monarch: A faery of any gender who rules a monarchy, such as Gloriana, Oberon or Titania.
Faery Queen: 1) A female faery who rules a monarchy, such as Gloriana or Titania. 2) The name of Henry Purcell's semi-opera which is a variation of the story about A Midsummer Night's Dream, see Titania. 3) The name for a series of poem books that are written by Edmund Spenser, see Gloriana.
Faery Ring: A ring of toadstools. It has been said to be created by faeries. Also, it has been said that it is the place where the faeries perform their dance rituals. Faery rings can be used to contain a living creature as a capture. If the toadstools in a faery ring contains a lot of magic, if a non-faery dances the secret faery "ballet" ritual in the ring whether realizing it or not, that creature will magically transform into a faery.
Gloriana: The name of the Faery Queen in Edmund Spenser's series of poem books whose name is Faery Queen.
Leprechan: An elven race that originate from Ireland. It has been said that these elves have something about keeping pots of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Love Juice: In A Midsummer Night's Dream, this is the nectar from a magic flower that Oberon pours over Titania's eyes during her sleep. When she wakes up, it causes her to instantly fall instantly in love with the first creature that her eyes behold.
Oberon: The male faery monarch in the Shakespearean Drama whose name is A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Mab: A female faery who creates the dreams during the slumber of humans.
Magic Flower: See Love Juice.
Monarch Faery: A monarch faery is not necessary a faery monarch. A monarch faery is a faery who has butterfly wings of a monarch (black & orange with specs of white on the wings' black).
Pixy: A mythological being that resembles like a human, but with pointed ears. There are at least two species of pixes which include the elves, the faeries, & maybe also the goblins. Note! Dwarfs, genies, gnomes and other similar creatures are not considered to be pixies.
Puck: A male faery in the Shakespearean Drama whose name is A Midsummer Night's Dream. Puck is also called Robin Goodfellow.
Robin Goodfellow: Another name of a pixy whose name is Puck.
Titania: The female faery monarch in the Shakespearean Drama whose name is A Midsummer Night's Dream. Placing the intials in the order of Titania, Oberon and Puck will spell word the TOP, the opposite another character's name in that same Shakespearean drama: BOTTOM.
Tooth Faery: A faery who visits the humans' worlds, collects young human juveniles' loose teeth which are hidden under their pillows whilst the juveniles are asleep in bed, then the faery exchanges their loose teeth with monetary gifts that are placed under their pillows.
Tinkerbell: The faery in the J.M. Barrie's story about Peter Pan. This story contains a theory that states the faeries' existance is dependent to the amount of faeryism in humankind. A faery comes to life for each human who has born, but when that human begins to deny faeryism, that faery dies.

Note! The author does not exploit any mythological species as an "one-gender-only" species. The above table is based on the author's version of the pixy mythology, some definitions in the table are either "made-up" or guesses. Also, some terms may solely pertain to Forest Faeria.
