Elementals are the mystical creatures that are deemed to live within the spirit realm of the elements air, earth, fire, and water. They are watched over and controlled by the Lords of the Watchtowers or Guardians.

Air spirits are known as Sylphs

Earth spirits are known as Gnomes

Fire spirits are known as Salamanders

Water spirits are known as Undines.

Folklore traditionally had it that elementals were somewhere between somewhat fickle and downright evil. They were thought to trick, trap, and kill people. It was this commonly held belief centuries ago that played a major part in many of the witch hunts.

Elementals can be called upon to assist you in your magick but care should always be taken to control them.

Their ability to help you effectively can be determined by checking out their "profiles" on adjoining pages. Each has its own list of spell types that they are known for.

The five basic elements are Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit. These elements all have different vibrations which, when properly aligned, can help to produce the desired results in your magick.

The following list will give you information relating to the element of Air:

The spirit realm of the element air is inhabited by spiritual beings called Sylphs. Sylphs have made an appearance in many myths and legends over the centuries. It is thought by some that the muses of Greek mythology were actually Sylphs who had assumed human form in order to lead mankind along a spiritual path.

Sylphs are esponsible for the growth and nurturing of all plant life. They also make their presence known in the weather. They are also generally associated with any activity of the mind. Particularly creativity. They are thought to influence and inspire human actions. Faeries are Sylphs appearing to us in human form.

Sylphs can be called to aid in all magick associated with the element air as shown below:

The spirit realm of the element earth is inhabited by Gnomes. They are energy spirits and as such are commonly invisible to the average person. They are however, very close to the physical realm and can easily interact with it.

Traditionally Gnomes were hoarders and protectors of secret treasure - usually hidden in caves beneath the earth. In some legends Gnomes were known as Goblins as they were thought to be presided over by a king called Gob. Goblins could be mischievous and would often attach themselves to households and people (children in particular).

When upset they can be a little unpredictable even though they are normally quite good natured. They can certainly take credit for some poltergeist activity. Rather than being the spirit of a departed one who has not left the physical realm they are in fact an elemental that has been called upon for a task and has failed to complete it.

Gnomes can be called to aid in all magick associated with the element earth as shown below:
