The Guide to the Occult and Mysticism writes of fairies:

"According to theory, fairies are either: earthbound unbaptized souls;
guardians of the souls of the dead; ghosts of venerated ancestors;
fallen angels condemned to remain on earth; nature spirits, or small
human beings. They are said to have magical powers and to consort with
witches and other humans with supernatural powers. . ."
(Geddes and Grosett, Guide to the Occult and Mysticism, p. 446)
The popular occult "field guide" titled, A Field Guide to Demons,
Fairies, Fallen Angels and Other Subversive Spirits (by Carol K. Mack
and Dinah Mack) readily link demons and fallen angels with fairies.
Fairies also represent the disembodied spirits of Halloween, and
Christians knew them to be "demons". The Woman's Dictionary of
Symbols and Sacred Objects says:

"In Ireland, all the sidh or fairy hills (grave mounds) were said to
open up on the occasion [Halloween]. Folks insisted that it was
impossible to keep the fairies underground on Halloween. Since these
fairies were simply pagan spirits, the church naturally insisted that
demons were abroad on Halloween." (Walker, Barbara, The Woman's
Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects, p. 180)
The popular Encyclopedia of Occultism by Lewis Spence, connects fairies
to the devil ands says of fairies, "They steal human children, and
leave in their places fairy changelings. . ." (Lewis Spence,
Encyclopedia of Occultism, p. 154)
Dr. Kurt Koch, probably the world's greatest authority on demonism,
writes of fairies in Occult ABC:

"If a person wants their [fairies] help, he must apply to their chief,
the devil himself. This however, would cost a person his salvation. The
idea that these spirits [fairies] are demonic is in accordance with the
Bible."
(Dr. Kurt Koch, Occult ABC, p. 83)
According to The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft, "Fairies are
fallen angels." It goes on to describe fairies as, "Some fairies were
said to suck human blood like vampires. . . Many contemporary Witches
believe in fairies and some see them clairvoyantly. Some Witches say
their Craft [WitchCraft] was passed down from fairies . . ." (Rosemary
Ellen Guiley, The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft, p. 117)
Fairies come from the underground of hell. "Fairies are generally
believed to live as a nation in an underground location. . ." (Harpers'
Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience, p. 198)
