 Nature Spirits
Flower Devas Tribes
Brownies Fairies Dwarves Elves
There were Four Kinds of Nature Spirit Tribes. They
were the Brownies, the Fairies, the Dwarves, and the Elves. Brownies have
generally been observed wearing long pointy nightcaps, short brown coats and
knee breeches, stockings and boots. The Nature Spirits that were called Brownies
were often seen earnestly working together in groups.
They
belonged to diverse tribes which varied in appearance from more than a foot to
only several inches in height. Communicative and gregarious by nature, their facial expressions
were rustic and friendly. They lived beneath the surface of the ground amongst the roots of
bushes, plants and trees.
Their primary function
seemed to be working with flowing lines of magnetism in the soil, tending to the
nurturance of the roots of their leafy charges and in a more ancillary way
preserving the features of the overall landscape. Sometimes they were attracted
to quiet spots in homes where they sometimes become attached to one of the family
members.
There were traditional tales of
Brownies who had fostered an atmosphere of cleanly tidiness in a
house; as well as, those where they instigated a mood of disruptive renovation
when necessary. Brownies have a great deal of creative intelligence and have
been known to perform good deeds for people they liked, including helping them with
the crops and the garden.

Members of different clans, the
Nature Spirits that were called Flower Fairies, Leprechauns, and Pixies all
belonged to the same tribe of Fairies. All of the Fairies are notorious for
their intense love of lively, toe tapping music, and dancing amongst the flowers
of the field. Gregarious and sometimes jovially rambunctious, they were fond of
animals and trees.
The Flower Fairies also had a keen sense of humor,
but, did not suffer fools gladly preferring to pester them with pranks or to
play tricks on them instead. Fairies could vary in height from tiny to around
three feet in height. The elegantly beautiful female in the picture above bears a striking resemblance to
the Deva Flora who overlighted the Flower Fairies.
Pixies were fond of wearing
toadstool or flower caps over their often red hair. Although they were partial
to green, they often changed the color of their garments as the seasonal cycles
change. Leprechauns were usually cheerful male shoemaker's who were guardians of
various kinds of treasure including the proverbial pot of gold.
Leprechauns could be suspicious of
humans who were overly inquisitive regarding whatever the Leprechauns were safeguarding.
Flower Fairies moved swiftly around flashing their pearly wings, wearing
resplendently hued robes. Large groups of them floated around together,
resembling dewy strings of mist as they tended the flowers. They also had a keen
sense of humor, but, did not suffer fools gladly preferring to pester them with
pranks or to play tricks on them instead.
