In Welsh folklore, the line between deity, demon, ghost, and fairy is vague. Arawn and Gwyn ap Nudd are at various times called fairy kings, lords of the dead, or lords of demons. Sometimes the Wild Hunt is led by them, though sometimes it is led by King Arthur's ghost or by Satan.

A fairy doctor was a wise woman or cunning man in Ireland who was taught good magic by good fairies. They were called "fairy doctors" because they used their magic to heal people hurt by bad fairies or sorcery like a regular doctor heals those hurt by diseases.
