Angels, Archangels, Guardians, Spirit Guides and Elementals
The Hidden World of Elementals & Fairies
 Have you ever walked though a
park or through the woods and felt a sudden sense of peace, minimizing all your
problems after a discouraging day? You probably had contact with an
"Elemental". Elementals are "Nature's Angels" and they are referred to by
various names including Fairies, Elves, Devas, Brownies, Leprechauns, Gnomes,
Sprites, Pixies as well as many others. These nature spirits are governed
by the Archangels. (For the sake of ease, we will group
all nature spirits as Elementals on this page unless they are specifically being
explained.) Like Angels, Elementals
do not have a definite form or
appearance. It's easy to determine if a picture is that of an Angel or a winged
elemental. The winged elementals have butterfly looking wings and Angels
have feathered bird wings.
If they choose to show themselves to you, they may choose a form
that you will recognize and be comfortable with or will associate with the
element they represent. A fire elemental may appear as a spark, a face in a
candle flame or bonfire, or simply a sudden warm spot. A water elemental may be
a cold spot. An air elemental could be a sudden breeze or tiny whirlwind in the
dust. A smell, taste, or an unexplained pebble in your shoe could be evidence of
the earth elementals at play.
The belief in Elementals goes back to before the beginning of
religion. Long before Angels, there were Elementals who inhabited all
things. Animism which is believed to be the original religion of humankind
believed that Elementals inhabit all things.
Most occultists and Neo-pagan witches
believe these spirits possess supernatural powers and are usually invisible to
humans, living among the trees, rivers, plants, bogs, mountains, and minerals.
They attach themselves to practically every natural thing.
Interest in the elementals increased
during the Middle Ages and Renaissance when practitioners experimenting with
alchemy and magic sought to acquire nature's secrets so to be able to control
her forces.
Elementals are very mischievous and
like to play, but their play may appear to us as disasters rather than play,
such as thunderstorms, blizzards,
raging seas. When Elementals decide to enjoy themselves, it's best for us
humans to take cover and hope they tire soon. Contrary to how it seems,
Elementals activities are not always destructive, even though it may seem that
way to humans at times. The elementals have their own agenda and they have a
definite purpose, which we may not understand, but may be for the good of the
planet as a whole.
There is a group of Elementals for
each of the elements - Earth, Air, Water and Fire.
Below is a brief description of some, but not
all, creatures of the four elements.
Elements and their
Creatures
Earth:
Gnomes
Being of the earth, Gnomes
usually live in the soil, rocks, beneath the ground, and under the tree
roots. Gnomes will only help humans if they have been considerate of
nature and treat it well. They are very helpful of those who have
established a connection with them through prior acts of kindness.
The subgroups of the Earth Gnomes consist of
Brownies, Dryads, Durdalis, Earth Spirits, Elves,
Hamadryads, Pans, Pygmies, Sylvestres, and Satyrs.
Air: Sylphs
The sylphs are the air spirits. Their element has the highest vibratory
rate. They are said to live on the tops of mountains. The leader of
the sylphs is a being called Paralda who is said to dwell on the highest
mountain of Earth. They often assume human form but only for short
periods of time. They are usually seen with wings, looking like
cherubs or fairies. Because of their connection to air, which is associated
with the mental aspect, one of their functions is to help humans receive
inspiration. The sylphs are drawn to
those who use their minds, particularly those on creative arts.
Sylphs are usually sympathetic of human endeavors and for the most part
their actions towards them are kindly and thoughtful. The Sylphs can have a
profound and powerful influence on the human mental body and thought, and,
they are responsible for being the primary impetus behind both inspirational
art and inventions
Water:
Undines
The water spirits are called Undines.
They
closely resemble humans in appearance and size, except for those inhabiting
smaller streams and ponds.
They are beautiful, emotional, and graceful Nature Spirits who dress
themselves in greenish, sea colored garb that has both a shimmering
consistency and a watery texture.
Their ruler is known as Necksa who they love, serve, and honor unceasingly.
Since their purpose is to direct the flow and course of the waters of the
planet, they live in coral caves, fountains, lakes, marshlands, rivers,
seas, waterfalls, and underneath lily pads. Besides caring for plants both
above and below the surface of the water, the Undines are concerned with the
movements of water and how they relate to human emotions and soul responses.
The Undines and their subgroups are friendly, approachable, and are very
willing to work with people and to help them. Etheric in nature, they
exist within the water itself and this is why they can't be seen with the
normal physical vision.
The subgroups of the Water Undines consist of Limoniades, Mermaids, Naiads,
Oceanid, Oreads, Potamides, Sea Maids.
Fire:
Salamanders
The salamanders are the spirit of fire. Without these beings, fire cannot
exist. You cannot light a match without a salamander's being present.
They are considered the strongest and most powerful of all the elementals.
Their ruler is a magnificent flaming being called Djin. On the spiritual
level, they also help to awaken kundalini. Salamanders will always
help people who are friendly towards them and keep their heart fires
burning.
