Fairy Queens

I always thought that there was only one fairy queen that ruled over all the fairies but there are several different ones. However, there are fairy queens for different regions on the world. The queen of the fairies of in Munster, Ireland goes by the name of Aeval.  She is known for her various fairy powers.  Aeval can for tell the future,  predicting prophecies, and granting pleasurable satisfaction to women. (Fairy Queens).  So if there are fairy queens that are not among Celtic regions where do they live? Well it so happens that they in a magical land called Tir Nan Og (Celtic Attic). I think that it is interesting to find that in this place where fairies queens and kings rule that the time there is unlike that of the mortal world because it passes at a much slower rate; years in our world would only be minutes in theirs. Another fascinating fact that I have come across is that once any human enters this fairy kingdom they cant usually enter back into their world. (Celtic Attic).  Another fairy queen of the Celtic region is Mab. This particular fairy queen i think is unique because she evolved from a goddess in Wales known as Mabb.  She is a fairy of the night and dream. Therefore, this puts her in control over people's dreams at night causing them to have nightmares.
