Gnomes Sylphs
There were Four Kinds of
Elemental Beings. They were the Air Sylphs, the Earth Gnomes, the Fire
Salamanders and the Water Undines. The Nature Spirits of Air were called Sylphs. Since they vibrated at a
slightly higher frequency rate than the other elementals, they often preferred to
live around heightened and more rarified places on the planet like mountains and
sea cliffs.
The winds, gases and
ethers of the Earth were their medium of expression. The Sylphs fond disturbances
in the air currents generated by airplanes, helicopters and other types of
oscillating machines dissonant, discordant and discomforting so they quickly worked to
restore harmony after the upsetting cacophony.
The Sylphs frequently
assumed the appearance of humans for brief periods of time. When they did they
could vary in size from human proportions to being quite diminutive. They were
usually seen with wings and resembled drawings of cherubs and fairies.
Often volatile and
changeable, the Sylphs were usually sympathetic of human endeavors and for the
most part their actions towards humans were kindly and thoughtful.
The Sylphs could have a
profound and powerful influence on the human mental body and thoughts. They
were responsible for being the primary impetus behind both inspirational art and
inventions; as well as, unraveling the more arcane and convoluted mysteries of
the universe.

The Nature Spirits of
Earths were called Gnomes. Since they usually lived in the soil, in rocks, beneath
the ground and under the tree roots, they were the elementals who were most
likely to imitate the customs and behaviors of the people of prior
ancient cultures.
The gnomes concentrated on aspects of daily life that intrigued them,
ones they thought were worth emulating. The Gnomes constantly journeyed
back and forth maintaining the textures and hues of the destiny tapestries that
anchored the patterns of human traditions in the material plane.
Gnomes ranged in size from
a few inches to a couple of feet. There were Dancing Gnomes who dressed in
gaily colored clothes who held hands as they circle danced. There were also
Domestic Gnomes who used etheric buckets to fetch water from the stream.
Gnomes typically had a
quaintly wizened demeanor that delighted in the brilliance of sunshine and the
vitality of the environment. Their features, which tended to be rough hewed, protruding and prominent,
were mellowed by the sincerity and cheerfulness of their
grins.
Gnomes were very
discriminating and would only assist humans who had either been thoughtfully
considerate of the ways of the Natural World or who had established a
connection with them through prior acts of kindness.
