Janepie33 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 A running disagreement with friends on Facebook. Some think they do. Some think they don't. What do Omleteers think?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Pudding Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I was a Pixie Sixer when I was a Brownie. I don't think the pixie on my badge had wings Mind you I was a pretty rubbish Brownie and it was a LONG time ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I don't think so, Fairies have wings, but I don't think that pixies, elves or gnomes do... but then it's all open to interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 In my mind, which is an odd little place, pixies don't have wings. Lovely thread by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 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?

bigmommasally Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 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 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Pixies & fairies have wings! Leprachauns, brownies, sprites & imps don't. They are just magiacal mini people. Cute! Too many Enid Blyton books! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Might have clip on ones for those times when a girl has to fly - like when a big ugly gnome is coming on to her - apologies to any big ugly gnomes out there - I was a fan of Big Ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pips_pekins Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Tinkerbell in Peter Pan is a Pixie and uses Pixie dust and she has wings Sorry, don't want to start an argument but I think Barrie describes Tinkerbell as a fairy not a pixie 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 ) Asked OH this morning as he was getting ready for work! Bless him, he didn't even raise an eyebrow Anyway, he thinks pixies are male fairies and therefore must have wings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I was an Elf in Brownies. There are pixies in my work phone this morning - the display is playing up something chronic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The pixies in Harry Potter have wings .... (although, if they lose their wings, apparently they can still fly without them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 As many on this thread were brownies, so too was i in the days when we had fairies, i was a fairy sixer and i do believe pixies have wings . If not how could they fly in and out of the gardens tending the flowers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 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.

Alis girls Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
