10 Signs that Guinevere is a Faery 

Today we’ll explore the signs that Guinevere is actually a faery. There are many indications that the queen of Camelot might not be entirely human. So, grab a cup of tea and let’s dive into the magical world of Guinevere!

1-Her ethereal beauty

Let’s face it, Guinevere was reputed to be stunning. But her beauty was more than just skin deep. Her ethereal grace and otherworldly aura indicate that she wasn’t just a mere mortal. Legend has it that faeries are known for their extraordinary beauty, and Guinevere certainly fits the bill, with her long flowing hair, delicate features, and ethereal presence. She is often described as having a haunting beauty that is both captivating and mysterious.

We know very little about Guinevere’s background, which is quite unusual for a queen. Her origins are shrouded in mystery, and there are several theories about where she came from. Some believe that she was the daughter of a powerful faery, which certainly explains her supernatural qualities.

3-Her connection to nature

Faeries are known to have a deep connection with nature, and Guinevere shares this trait. She is often depicted surrounded by flowers and birds, and she has a special affinity for gardens. In fact, the famous love triangle between Guinevere, Arthur and Lancelot, (found only in later versions of the lore) is said to have started in a garden.

4-Her love of music and dance

Another trait commonly associated with faeries is their love of music and dance. Guinevere is often depicted as a skilled dancer and musician, which further supports the idea that she is a faery. Her love of these arts is said to have enchanted many a knight and courtier.

5-Her mercurial nature

Guinevere’s mercurial nature is perhaps the most telling sign that she is a faery. She is known to be capricious and unpredictable, and her moods can change on a dime. This is a common trait among faeries, who are notorious for their mischievous and unpredictable nature.

6-Her name

The name “Guinevere” has its roots in Welsh mythology, and it means “white shadow” or “white spirit.” This name suggests that Guinevere may have a supernatural origin, as “white spirit” is often associated with faeries. It’s worth noting that many other faeries in folklore have similarly ethereal names.

According to some versions of the Arthurian legends, Guinevere was abducted by faeries not once, but twice. In one story, she is taken to the Otherworld by a faery king named Melwas and is rescued by Arthur. In another, she is taken by a group of faeries who mistake her for their queen (perhaps no mistake at all), and is again rescued and returned to Arthur’s kingdom. These abductions suggest that Guinevere had a strong of connection with the faery realm.

8-Her healing powers

In some versions of the Arthurian legends, Guinevere is said to have healing powers. She is able to cure wounded knights and even bring them back from the brink of death. This is a trait commonly associated with faeries, particularly the Avalon Ladies of the Lake, who are known for their magical healing abilities.

9-Her association with the Lady of the Lake

Guinevere is often associated with the Lady of the Lake, who is a faery being. In some versions of the Arthurian legends, Guinevere is said to have been raised by the Lady of the Lake, who teaches her the ways of magic. This connection further supports the idea that Guinevere is a faery herself.

10-Her affinity for water

In some versions of the Arthurian legends, Guinevere is said to have an affinity for water. She is often depicted near rivers, lakes, and fountains, and is even said to have a magical well in her garden. This connection to water is another trait commonly associated with faeries, who are often guardians of the natural world. It’s worth noting that in many cultures, water is seen as a portal to the faery realm, which further supports the idea that Guinevere had faery origins.

The Round Table - gift from the faery realmAnd One Last Thing — The Round Table as Her Dowry

The Round Table is said to have come from the faery realm. It was a gift from Guinevere’s father, presented to King Arthur as part of her dowry, which reinforces the idea that Guinevere is a faery. This table, which is said to seat 150 knights, became the centerpiece of Arthur’s court and is a symbol of his reign.

This connection to the faery realm further supports the theory that Guinevere had faery origins. It’s also worth noting that the Round Table is often seen as a symbol of unity and equality, as there is no head of the table and all knights are equal in status.

This idea of unity and equality is another trait commonly associated with faeries, who are known for their love of harmony and balance.

So, there you have it – the legends of King Arthur and his court are full of faeries, magic and wonder, and it’s certainly fun to envision Guinevere as a faery queen at the heart of it all.
