Seelie Court

Seelie (or Seely) is from the Scots term seelie meaning "happy", "lucky" or "blessed" applied to fairy beings in Scottish folklore in phrases such as seely wights or The Seelie Court. Despite their name, the seelie folk of legend could be morally ambivalent and dangerous. Calling them "seelie," similar to names such as "good neighbors," may have been a euphemism to ward off their anger. The seelie court is composed of a lot of fairies that have shown non-malevolent tendencies, and a lot of them showed friendliness to humans--as evident in Scottish folklore. In folklore, a lot of fairies of seelie court have helped humans that they like.
