Actually there are many parallels in Western (and really world) Fairy tales, with Vedic deva- and angiris-lore. Also notice the similarity to modern ET abduction experiences, where they are considered spiritual experiences (as opposed to provocations). Since you seem to like to read, try reading Rev. Kirk's account of the fairy-lore in Scotland, The Secret Commonwealth. I'd bet you'd enjoy it, if you were open enough.?
