翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Spey-wife ： ウィキペディア英語版 Spey-wife A Spaewife, spae-wife or Spey-wife etc., is a Scots language term for a fortune-telling woman. "''Spae''" comes from Old Norse "''spá''", meaning prophesize. The name was used as the title of several works of fiction: Robert Louis Stevenson's poem "The Spaewife"; John Galt's historical romance ''The Spaewife: A Tale of the Scottish Chronicles''; and Paul Peppergrass's ''The Spaewife, or, The Queen's Secret''. It has nothing to do with the Spey, a river in Scotland. == Melville's interpretation == According to F. Melville's ''The Book of Faeries'' (2002), a Spae Wife is also a type of elf. No taller than a human finger, fairy spae wives are usually dressed in the clothes of a peasant. However, when properly summoned, the attire changes from common to magnificent: blue cloak with a gem-lined collar and black lambskin hood lined with catskin, calfskin boots, and catskin gloves. Like human spae wives, they can also predict the future, through runes, tea leaves and signs generated by natural phenomena, and are good healers. They are said to be descended from the erectors of the standing stones. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spey-wife」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
