Isobel Gowdie, Scotland’s renowned witch who voluntarily confessed in 1662, said she had frequent doings with fairies.
Gowdie went often to Fairyland, entering through various caverns and mounds.
The entrance of Fairyland was populated with elf-bulls, whose “roaring and skoilling” always frightened her.
She often met with the King and Queen of Fairy, who were finely dressed and offered her more meat than she could eat.
Gowdie, her fellow witches and the fairies would amuse themselves by A queen meets the Lion Fairy (From the fairy tale “The Frog and the Lion Fairy” in Andrew Lang’s The Orange Fairy Book)
Gowdie said the fairies manufactured their poisonous elf-arrow heads (see elf arrows) in their caverns, and she had seen the Devil working alongside them, putting the finishing touches on the flints.
Fairies taught her how to fly, by mounting cornstraws and beanstalks and crying, “Horse and Hattock, in the Devil’s name!”
