The Fairies want to continue to spell their name Fair-ies because soon they will all once again be as Fair of Face as they were in days of yore (before what they call the trying and turbulent Vendetta Times took their toll, disfiguring a lot of their faces like moldy blight on the petals of a rosebush). Together they sing, "Monday's child is Fair of Face. Monday's child is Fair of Face. Monday's child is Fair of Face". Three times for the Moon Goddess. Blessed Be Her Face of Grace. Then, they add that they are the children of the Moon Goddess who rules Monday and they are very pleased to announce that they have chosen to be called Fairies once more. They add the postscript that mirrors are now back in vogue again too. Currently I live by a cluster of small ponds where the boundaries between this world and the Otherworld are morphic and Nature Spirits frequently get my attention as they emit bright flashes of colored light whenever they make rapid movements as they gambol about in the air.
Like their true spirit
names, they remain somewhat secretive about their activities. Especially now
that they have freedom of choice, it is important to remember that even though
the Nature Spirits are friendly and enjoy being helpful to humans, they still
have their own lives and purposes to pursue.
Several Nature Spirit tribes (Brownies, Dwarves, Elves, and Fairies) and several of their clans expressed an interest in describing their activities separately from those of the Gnomes, Salamanders, Sylphs, and Undines groupings portrayed above under Four Kinds of Elemental Beings. There are four kinds of Elemental Beings of Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. These Nature Spirits are often referred to as Sylphs, Gnomes, Salamanders, and Undines respectively. The Nature Spirits of Air are known as Sylphs. Since they vibrate at a slightly higher frequency rate than the other elementals, they often prefer to live around heightened and more rarified places on the planet like mountains and sea cliffs. The winds, gases, and ethers of the Earth are their medium of expression. The Sylphs find disturbances in the air currents generated by airplanes, helicopters, and other types of oscillating machines dissonant, discordant and discomforting and quickly work to restore harmony after the upsetting cacophony.
The Sylphs frequently
assume the appearance of humans for brief periods of time. When they do they can
vary in size from human proportions to being quite diminutive in size.... Continue on Go back
