Features
  • The Tooth Fairy calls upon the European folklore of House Elves or Brownies who will often perform useful tasks, or exchange valuable treasures for things humans view as mundane or useless.
  • Cultural historians say that superstition has always surrounded teeth and these valuable tokens have been used to ward off witches and demons in the past. Vikings were even supposed to give children a "tooth fee" for using children's teeth.
  • Likewise, if discarded body parts such as teeth, nail clippings or hair fell into hostile hands, it was believed that they could become the focus of sympathetic magic.
  • In a variety of cultures, the shedding of the first baby tooth became a kind of ritual. This rite of passage has been documented in numerous ways. Many of these ceremonies included verbal incantations and wishes, along with actions. Variations on this custom were most likely passed along through oral communication.
