What is pixie mythology?

Pixies are mythical creatures from English folklore, often depicted as small, mischievous beings with pointed ears and wings. They are associated with nature and are said to live in forests and fields. Pixies are known to play tricks on humans, but they can also be helpful and kind if treated with respect.

In some traditions, pixies are believed to be the spirits of children who died before they were baptized. They are said to be particularly active on Midsummer's Eve, when they dance and play in the moonlight. Other legends tell of a pixie court led by a king and queen, who preside over their subjects with fairness and wisdom.

Pixies have been popularized in literature and movies, particularly in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and J.M. Barrie. They are often associated with fairy tales and fantasy stories, and have become a beloved icon of whimsy and magic.
