Hi everyone! I’ve been working with an oracle deck that is called “Oráculo de las Hadas” which translated literally to Oracle of the Fairies. I started working with it before I knew that for many people, the fae are not to be messed with and since my culture has a very positive attitude towards them (I’m Andean Latin-American), I didn’t see a problem with it. However, I’m starting to think that the fairies everyone is talking about and the fairies in my context are totally different entities, and would want to know if there’s a name for them in English.

These “fairies” I’m working with are incredibly kind, loving and helpful, they grant wishes with asking just for gratitude in exchange, and they don’t retaliate if you don’t give them anything more than a grateful heart. They like flowers (and constantly ask for them when I ask them about thanking them for their help), they are wise and give great advice when asked to (through the oracle). They don’t “borrow” objects or leave small gifts, or anything like that. They behave similarly to how guides and ancestors communicate, but not to what I’ve read about celtic fae. What could they be?
