"There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that
mine.
O traveler, if you are in search of That
Don't look outside, look inside yourself and seek That." from Rumi,Thief of Sleep
In folklore, fairies are any of a race of supernatural beings who have magical powers.They sometimes meddle in human affairs. Sometimes they are described as beings of human size, while others are called "little people" and are only a few inches high. The term fairies was first used in medieval Europe. "Fairy lore is especially common in Ireland, Cornwall, Wales, and Scotland. Though usually beneficent in modern children's stories, the fairies of the past were powerful and sometimes dangerous beings who could be friendly, mischievous, or cruel, depending on their whim.

In Hinduism, an avatar is the incarnation of a deity in human or animal form to counteract an evil in the world.
