In that definition, fey would then include not only the fae but those who are touched by the fae, those who are connected to our world and able to see us when others cannot do so or at least choose to ignore the obvious reality of our existence and pretend otherwise. The word fey has also been used to indicate a person who has supernatural or psychic powers of clairvoyance or sight or is a faerie seer, perhaps. Although, it might be pointed out that while people often sense our otherworldly natures, they are not always sure what it is that they are sensing, merely that we are strange and different and sometimes make them feel vaguely uneasy. Although, there is generally nothing vague about the otherworldliness of the Fae accept our answers to intrusive questions from outsiders. In that sense Fae and Fey would be quite the same really. But then everything otherworldly is mysterious by definition. Is there a difference in those terms? Traditionally, fey is a word that has been used to indicate giving an impression of otherworldliness, sometimes in a vague or mysterious fashion. In a recent Netflix series entitled Cursed, they used the term Fey for the Elfae folk, instead of Fae.
