Spriggans (Sprite: Spirit)

Sprite derived from Latin spiritus sprightly: spirited or lively and the Celtic spriggan. Can signify various spiritual beings, including ghosts.

A sprite trap is a magical device used to capture troublesome or harmful spirits and ghosts.
The sprite trap is created from a blackthorn stave and copper wire that has never carried electricity. During a ritual process, the copper wire is bound to the stave with red thread and the stave is marked with a Dag (or D) rune.

Sprite traps are used at night, when the trap is set at the entrance to a home, church, graveyard, or other location where disturbances are taking place. To attract the troublesome entity, a cleft blackthorn stave with a lighted candle is placed in front of the trap.

After the sprite trap has captured a spirit, it is removed from the location and the red thread is cut with a consecrated knife; the thread is then placed into a prepared witch bottle. If the bottle has been prepared to imprison the spirit, a spell is recited while the thread is placed in it. Finally, the bottle is corked and sealed with red wax before being buried. A thorn bush will be planted on the site.

It is said that if a witch’s bottle containing a sprite is opened, a very angry spirit will escape. – Wikipedia

Mischievous Cornish goblins. They guard or steal giants buried treasure and live by standing stones. Skinny, mean, and ugly; with wrinkled wart-covered skin, sloping shoulders, broomstick legs, and flat, frog-like feet. Huge six-fingered hands, and long arms. Large misshapen heads with bulging brows. They also steal human children. Toads attract spriggans. A garment turned fully inside out will send spriggans away and break their spells. Spriggans can also appear as giants and stretch to huge sizes to scare humans. They are thought to have emigrated from Brittany to Cornwall and were created by the Fays during the Second Age of the Sun. (21, 33)
