Fairy Witch Trials!
Braydon and Belinda take a turn down a different path tonight, and giggle their way through a discussion about fairies!
They are beings who can be found in many European cultures, and are often described as being nature spirits who play pranks upon humans. Fairies or Fae, usually belong to two "courts", the Seelie Court (or Summer Court) and the Unseelie Court (or Winter Court). These classifications discern a fairy's temperament, and how vicious they are with their pranks.
Belinda starts the episode off with a very giggly explanation of the Donas De Fuera in Sicily, Italy. She discusses different encounters with the fairy spirits and "elves", and talks about the fairy witch trials which occurred when the Spanish Inquisition believed that the local fairy beliefs were evidence of a witches sabbath!
Braydon goes on to chat about the Water Horse or Kelpie, an unseelie fae known to lure children to locations of water and drag them to their deaths. The creature is a renowned shapeshifter of Scotland and is said to inhabit any of the streams, rivers, lochs, ponds, and places with water in and around the nation. In fact, most bodies of water in Scotland have kelpie tales behind them. The kelpie can change from a wet horse to a gorgeous human, using its innocent appearance to bring people close before ultimately murdering them.
