Esoteric interpretation

Bringing fairies, mermaids and giants into the same hidden-world cluster encourages a reading of folklore as distorted memory rather than pure invention. The imagined Earth is therefore stranger and more populated than its visible surface suggests. These figures come from different traditions; the poster’s grouping does not make them one species or establish a common biological origin.
