 Elementals
Mermaids Dragons & Unicorns
An elemental is a mythological being first appearing in the alchemical works of Paracelsus
Traditionally, there are four types:
The exact term for each type varies somewhat from source to source, though these four are now the most usual. Most of these beings are found in folklore as well as alchemy; their names are often used interchangeably with similar beings from folklore. The sylph, however, is rarely encountered outside of alchemical contexts.
The basic concept of an elemental refers to the ancient idea of Elements as fundamental building blocks of nature. In the system prevailing in the Classical world, there were four elements: fire, earth, air, and water. This paradigm was highly influential in Medieval natural philosophy, and Paracelsus evidently intended to draw a range of mythological beings into this paradigm by identifying them as belonging to one of these four elemental types.
Elementals can be our most wise and beneficial Teachers. When we hold our Elemental Workshops we like to separate them into their natural Energy groups and work with each separately. We have Earth, Air, Water & Fire. Here at The Faery Realm we introduce you to our dear helpers and oh so often overlooked The Wood Elementals. Now it is true, not all Elementals are Friendly....some very much dislike Human folk, (flesh bags!) and they would love to cause alsorts of havoc and mischief given half the chance. So we teach you how to communicate safely, respectfully and in a protected state with the Elementals who act as Helpers, Teachers and Guides.
I have always enjoyed the company of The Fey & The Elemental ones, and i find many students do tend to have favourites. Which Elemental do you favour? The beautiful Mermaids, the Industrious Gnomes maybe its the inspiring Unicorn?
Remember, you are not here by chance, you found The Faery realm for a reason! Perhaps you were led here by the Faeries? Or a Wise Elemental? But only you can decide what is your own personal Truth and what is not
Many blessings be upon you**
