However, Elinox and Seraphyna definitely have it right. Beliefs are thoughts not phyiscal objects. The categorisation of physical beings is one thing but as they say when it comes to fae it's all belief. Indeed to be more accurate, if one assumes that beings that are basically made of thought such as fae are influenced by the amount of energy and the associations directed towards them, then there could be any number of species with wings, some without etc all on the basis of what the human mind has dreamt up over the centuries. <!-- s

I personally have heard the idea that fae as energy beings or somewhat physical beings only have wings in order to travel between dimensions, so they don't actually exist according to that logic. Maybe there's truth in that, who knows?
For me myself, I have wings but they shift shape fairly regularly, which in itself leads me to believe I may be some kind of shapeshifting fae (maybe pooka as I'm also part cat it seems) but as many have said here, categorisation of a thoughtform is difficult. <!-- s
