Fairies and Angels are two groups of Spirits that exist within the category of Spirits called Light Spirits.

Light Spirits are a group of individuals in Spirit. They live, operate, and manifest in the realm of Divine Light, Source Oneness, or Heaven.

While this place has many names depending on the culture and core belief system, one thing is for sure. Light Spirits are positive, benevolent beings that many people generally want to invite into their lives and homes.

Your own personal Guardian Angels and Fairy Guides will often invite themselves in, even if you have not vocally asked.

And when they do, spirits can usually be felt, heard, and also seen with your own physical eyes.

Light Spirits can appear as flash, balls, and twinkles of Light, generally out of the corner of your right eye.

Angels and Fairies are both known to appear to their people as light sources because that's what they are - existing in an energetic body. 

So, if you have seen a flash of Light, how do you know who it is?

There are a few ways to tell if you have a Fairy or an Angel with you and below we discuss.

5 differences between Fairies & Angels

The Color of Light

Angels often appear as bright, cool-toned colors. 

Sometimes bold, but more often pastel in color with white Light infused from the background. It also looks immense and diffuse usually.

Fairies, on the other hand, will often appear as more vibrant warm-toned colors, and the Light can appear more compact. 

Think of Fairy lights as colored string lights on a Christmas tree and Angel light as a white light votive candle, being diffused through a colored glass votive holder.

Brightness

Angel light tends to be much larger in size and shape and extremely bright, taking up your entire visual field.

Fairy light tends to be smaller in size and also gentler on the physical eyes. You may see lots of little lights with Fairies, and one ample Light with Angels.

Movement

Fairy lights tend to be more bouncy and jumpy than Angel lights, where Angel lights tend to stay in one place or have more of a direct path in and out of your frame of vision. 

Angels tend to hover, where it seems Fairies tend to jump from place to place a bit more. 

Time

Angel lights tend to appear for a much shorter length of real-time and are incredibly bright while they are present to the physical eye. Unless they appear for a reading, they tend to stay for a few minutes or up to an hour. 

Fairies tend to appear for slightly longer to the physical eye, and sometimes can hang around for days or even weeks. This may have to do with them being closer to this realm.

Purpose

You can also tell the difference between where they help.

Fairies tend to show up and help with earthy matters, mood, and things that are related to taking care of the planet or even the other beings around you. 

Angels tend to show up and help with your purpose, holding your energy vibration, wider picture things, such as helping you achieve life goals. 

So to recap Angels vs. Fairies in light

Angels tend to appear brighter, more pastels, shorter time of appearance, and help with overarching purposes and goals.

Fairies tend to appear with more bold colors, more extended time of appearance, bounce around more, and help with earthly, physical things.

How to contact fairies

To contact fairies, check out the posts:

Beautifying the natural space around you, catering to the smaller creatures, and usually, this will attract the attention of the Fairies, and they'll be around more. When they are around more, it’s easier to sense them and tune in.

Signs of fairies

Signs Fairies are around, include hearing giggling, seeing lots of orbs, and even feeling inspired towards joyful movement. Fairies can rub off on humans in a positive way.

One of the signs they’re around is you start to take on a calm or sweet feel, or you notice the environment you've stepped into has a sweet or calming effect on you.

Fairies also enjoy lots of people who are happy, smiling, and bright colors.

How to contact Angels

I recommend calling them in, and you can use the techniques such as those in these posts:

The most common are number signs and feathers. If you see flashes of lights and notice joyful or expansive energy around you, there's a good chance you have one of these groups around.

They're both helpful, and having either around is a definite blessing.
