What Is a Fairy Child?
If you were to Google the term, you’d get all sorts of tales and articles about changelings.
Tuttavia, that’s not the kind of fairy child I’m talking about.

As the child grows, it looks and behaves unusually. It can be uncommonly intelligent or too misbehaved.

E' not a substitute, it is your own flesh and blood who possesses spirituale fairy traits.

Conception Time Matters
Nel Wheel of the Year, there are certain dates when veils between the worlds go thin.
Such as Samhain, Beltane or Imbolc.
Beltane is when we celebrate nature’s potency and the union of the Earth and the Sun. It’s said that a child conceived on Beltane will be able to speak to fairies.
A similar thing is believed about Imbolc.
