Faeries

Water - It's the creative element of life and death. Undines are water creatures that sometimes make them selves known in dreams. Dreams of water reflect undine activity and urge more creativity in your life. There are 3 types of faeries that live in the water: faeries that live on the surface of the ocean. They look like fat, jolly, human babies. Faeries that live in the middle deeps who are tall 5-7 feet tall with a more human-like appearance they are thin but beautiful they have fierce,gypsy-like spirit even when the sea is calm. Faeries that live inthe great depths are large and unpleasent to look at. Work and maintain the astral body of humans Work to awaken and stimulate our feeling nature.
Activities - They assist in unfolding heightened psychic feelings, as well as emotional ones They assist us in absorbing and assimilating life experiences, so that we can use them to the fullest They help us to see and feel the fullest ecstasy of the creative acts of life, be they sexual, artistic or the performance of a duty with the right emotion.The Undines are of creative element. Water spirits replenish our energy. They are healing. That's why it's so relaxing to sit by an ocean or lake. They can be devious, depending on the area. There are spirits of pools and wells - these take human form. They can appear beautiful, enticing and seductive. Water had been the most traveled route into the faerie realm. Water links us to more astral dimentions where these beings operate more actively. Setting a dish out to collect rain water can give you a glimpse into their realm when looking into it. Wherever there is a fresh water source you will find them. They are also assigned to us like the other elementals. Too little connection with our personal undine or others of the water realm can bring on psychological, emotional and even physical problems. We may not be as compassionate as we used to be. We may start to distrust our judgement and intuition. There will be a lack of sympathy and empathy. On the other hand, too much connection with the water elementals and nature spirits can make us overloaded with emotions and contradictory feelings. Water retention in the body is often a physical sign of this. You may find yourself emoting rather than doing.

They can serve as temporary guardian angels and also help children who have just passed over. A sylph is assigned to each of us and aid us in our mental body and mental development. They help stimulate new knowledge and inspiration. Too much connection with air spirits or elementals can make for an overactive mind that must be controlled and guided. It can make one dabble.

It can also cause a weak nervous system.

Fire
Types of fire faeries
Small ones three inches to 2 feet high who have no human shape, being merely foggy outlines. Tiny ones are rather like candle flames, they belong to the elemental class and are not really fairies. Large types are from five feet to 14 feet tall; these may be called "salamanders." Salamanders.
The biggest salamanders live in volanoes and are of an elongated, thin human shape, often dwindling away at the bottom. They have no real interaction with humans except thru their love for music, such as Wagner's "Fire Music" in the RING. The fire faeries or salamanders are not exactly feared by the rest of nature, but they are held in awe. They do not play a part in nature, but they are themselves much more intelligent than the average faeries. The Salamanders are everywhere. They are responsible for lightning, heat, and volcanoes. They can be power fully effective in healing work in assisting to detoxify the body, especially in critical situations. Their energies are difficult to control. Fire elements work to maintain our spiritual body. We also have a salamander assigned to us throughout life. It assists in maintaining the body temperature and works with the body's metabolism for greater health. A good relationship with our personal salamander will stimulate vitality and loyalty. Too little connection may reveal itself through lack of spiritedness. Too strong a relationship or any other of this realm may bring on a lack of self-control and overactivity. It could cause one to burn out. Of all the elementals, salamanders are the most difficult to understand, attune to and control.

Earth - Gnomes are little creatures of the earth. They can't fly and can be burned by fire and can also grow old like humans. But gnomes live alot longer than humans. They are needed to build plants, flowers and trees. It is their task to tint them, to make minerals and crystals and to maintain the Earth so that we have a place to live. One gnome is assigned to each of us to help our physical vehicles grow. Too little connection makes us "Space out" and too much connection can make one overly practical, cynical and skeptical.
