s i d h e, f a e r y, a n d t u a t h a
I consider Sidhe, Faery, and Tuatha De Danann (also seen spelled Tuatha De Danaan, which as I understand it is incorrect, grammatically/orthologically speaking) to be distinct races, although there are definitely similarities and in some cases overlaps and interbreeding. (Also, I'm haphazard about capitalization with the terms "sidhe" and "faery", since I don't usually think of them as proper names.) However, some people use the terms interchangeably and some links below talk about more than one, or address the topic of the confusion itself. So it's for those reasons that I lump things together here, because otherwise I'd have to agonize over what link fit best in what category and while I might like to do that in my personal bookmarks, it seems silly to do it on a public website where I'd rather make it easier for people to just find stuff. So, all that said, on with the show.
Topics I intend to get around to writing about for this section (*looks sheepish*). (If you would like to write on any of them, feel free to email me at arethinn at eristic dot net.)
Some thoughts on the similarities and differences between sidhe, elves, faery, and Tuatha.
A couple brief posts on sidhe in general.
A rather lengthy post from my journal describing what particular characteristics I am referring to when I talk about a "sidhe".
Anara has written a substantial amount on her kind of sidhe: general info, history, on glamour, on sovereignty, and a glossary of names and terms.Take with spoonful of salt, especially where DJ Conway or Edain McCoy come into it, but I do find the occasional useful bit of information or similarity between her ideas and mine.
