Peri Fairies

Peri Fairies
In this post I am looking into the Tiny Peri Fairies. These tiny faeries are known to be from ancient Peria. These tiny winged female nature spirits are so beautiful that it is said that they shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow.

Peris Fairies are usually always female too! Before the coming of Islam, Peris Faeries were held responsible for catastrophic nature events such as comets, eclipses of the sun and huge crop failures of land. 
With the advent of Islam, the Peris Faeries were deemed to be fallen angles, who repented of their transgressions too late to be restored into Heaven.
Tales are told how the Prophet Muhammad was sent to convert them to Islam. In the earlier Zoroastrian faith of Persia. The Peris Faeries were thought to represent the light and good forces of nature that constantly at war with the dark and evil forces called Deevs. 
There are tales of the Deevs that have captured these beautiful Peris fairies, and have locked them in iron cages at the very tops of old growth forest. They were sustained by eating the odor of perfumes that were brought to them by other Peris that looked after them, until they could figure away of releasing them. 
I found theses faeries fascinating myself. Its Probably due to the  fact that they are both heavenly and have a bit of a dark-side too. I have always known I have had a little bit of a dark-side, probably due to the last 8years of discovery and my health. Anyway. I hope that you all enjoyed the post. Wendy..

very cool post Wendy! The story with the Prophet Muhammad included puts whole a new light on it all. I always was under the impression that fairies were basically from Europe. Thank you so much ♥
