Classifications of fairies
The fairies of English and Scottish folklore have been classified in a variety of ways.
Two of the most prominent categories, derived from Scottish folklore, are the division into the Seelie Court and the Unseelie Court.
These categories may reflect an earlier (medieval) classification of the Germanic elves (Dökkálfar and Ljósálfar), as the corresponding Insular Celtic "fair folk" do not appear to have a comparable division.
William Butler Yeats, in ''Irish Fairy and Folk Tales'', further divided them into the Trooping Fairies (appearing in splendid processions) and the Solitary Fairies (mischievous spirits appearing on their own). Katharine Mary Briggs noted that a third distinction might be needed for "domesticated fairies" who live in human households (see household spirit).
