Do Pixies have wings?

Recommended Posts

Well, isn't it interesting - as soon as I read the title to this, I had a picture of a Pixie in my head! Probably an amalgamation of Flower Fairies, various children's books, and the Brownies' badge (I was a Pixie sixer as well!)

 

I think they do, but just little gauzy ones, they couldn't actually fly with them. If they didn't have wings, how would you know it was a pixie? :?

Tinkerbell in Peter Pan is a Pixie and uses Pixie dust and she has wings.

But the cornish pixie that is often shown hugging its knees doesn't have wings

 

Therefore I am no help at all :lol:

 

I too was a Pixie at Brownies & I have my brownie badge somewhere I'll see if that has wings ....

 

Edited: No wings on my Brownie badge! :)

Sorry, don't want to start an argument but I think Barrie describes Tinkerbell as a fairy not a pixie :wink:

 

In my head a pixie is a smaller version of a fairy, really really tiny. She'd still have wings though. When I grow up I want wings, big white feathery ones like Claire Danes wore in Romeo & Juliet.

 

I also think that pixies are smaller than fairies with very little wings that are useless for flying but good for jumping up high (like chickens' wings :lol: ) Asked OH this morning as he was getting ready for work! Bless him, he didn't even raise an eyebrow :lol: Anyway, he thinks pixies are male fairies and therefore must have wings :-D

By their little pointy ears, pointy hats and pointy shoes, of course!

My husband agrees that pixies don't have wings, but says that they can fly. :D

I think Goblins get a bad press - i didnt like the ones in Noddy much - Gobbo (I think his name was) used to scare my ES but he wouldnt admit to it now being 15 and 6ft - his mates would never let him forget. Big Ears was a kindly soul. Oh those were the days - I was a girls brigader - always wanted to be a brownie. I think we all have different ideas on fairy folk. They prob have discussions on their websites re humans. :whistle:
