“…some evidence seems to exist that an idea prevailed that in the fairy sphere there is a reversal of the seasons,
our winter being their summer. Some such belief seems to have been known to Robert Kirk,
for he tells us that ‘when we have plenty they [the fairies] have scarcity at their homes.’
In respect of the Irish fairies they seem to have changed their residences twice a year: in May,
when the ancient Irish “flitted” from their winter houses to summer pastures, and in November, when they quitted these temporary quarters.”
