What do fairies do with all the children they steal? Ethereal bubbles enchant, but a dark portal awaits…
There are various explanations but one is that the Fairy have to pay a teind (tithe) to Hell. Better to use humans than themselves.
Thinking of Tam Lin?
He’s the most famous example. 😀
Especially since Yeats’ “Stolen Child” doesn’t fit the tithe part.
Nice work, and the explanation you have highlights the more sinister aspect of it.
