Fairies

Faeries, also known as fairies, fey, or fae, originated in Old French medieval romantic stories. These supernatural beings or ghosts have existed in various myths, folklore, and tales throughout history, even up until the present day. When most people think about fairies or faeries, they see small, winged, mythical creatures. Outside of Victorian painting, fairies were rarely shown with wings. In legend, faeries were known to travel using sorcery and often catch a ride on the back of a friendly crow.

Gorgon

The Gorgons, like Medusa, were terrifying beings capable of reducing their prey to stone with a single look. The Gorgons’ presence was an odd mix between lovely and frightening, with their most distinctive feature being that they wore live snakes rather than fur. The myths of Gorgons teach one not to be deceived only by looks.
