Pixie dust is the trail of sparkling material that often follows mythical creatures such as pixies and fairies in general when they are visually represented. Sometimes, this trail is interpreted as being a tangible substance, often imbued with magic powers. The most notable example of this is in the 1953 Disney version of Peter Pan, where pixie dust allows one to fly if one is thinking happy thoughts, specifically the song "You can fly".

Starstuff

Starstuff, first mentioned in the Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson novel, Peter and the Starcatchers, is what Barry and Pearson define pixie dust as. Starstuff is bits of space junk that fall from the sky that has a different effect on all creatures. For instance, when a human is exposed to it, it may give him/her the ability to fly. When a female fish is exposed to it she may become a mermaid. When a horse is exposed to it, it may become a centaur. Or when a bird is exposed to it, it may become a pixie, which is how Tinkerbell came into being. Starstuff is often fought over by two groups called the Starcatchers and the Others. Starcatchers find it and return as opposed to the Others who use it for their own greedy purposes. In the book, there is even an explanation to how Greek Gods came into being.

Also if you own a pixie dust necklace it will bring you good luck. To get luck either wear the necklace on your neck all the time, or sprinkle the dust when you need luck. Another thing pixie dust is known for is for wishes coming true. When you have a wish sprinkle a bit of dust and the wish "might" come true. Pixies and Faries are very busy creatures and can not make every wish come true. So do not wish all the time or it will upset them and your dust will turn black and smell like smoke. Pixie dust necklaces are only for people who truly believe in fairies and pixies. If you do not and you get a necklace, it will turn to dust. Remember every time you say "Fairies don't exist" or "I don't believe in fairies" A fairy or pixie will die.
