Elementals are mystical creatures that dwell within the spirit realm of the elements. Elementals can be related to "nature spirits" that govern the forces of life. Both good and bad side of them?
Sylphs are beings associated with the element of Air and their name is coming from the Greek word ?sylphi? meaning butterfly. Their activity is reflected in the gathering of clouds, the formation of snowflakes, and the growth and maturity of all plant life. They are the spirits of the wind, and were the source of many Greek myths and legends. Among the Elementals as a whole, Sylphs are of the highest vibration and can thus traverse the dimensions more or less at will. Though essentially creatures of the air, Sylphs reside on high mountain tops. Legend has it that they once spoke to human through caverns and were the voices of ancient oracles.
Sylphs are associated with the activity of the human mind. They can influence and inspire humans; often they are said to gather around the poet or artist in order to impart their inner visions of spiritual beauty. They usually appear to humans in the classic fairy image. Sylphs are active, quick of movement and speech. They are clever and intelligent, but can be subtle in their persuasiveness. By nature, Sylphs are aloof and detached.
PS: i apologise for not being able to comment at the moment :(... but i ?ll try to catch up as soon as i can...
wow! .......... This one is such a perfect expression of the attributes you ascribe to the Sylphs, right down to the sense of quick evasive movement. Really wonderful pictures in this group, Emy!!!
This one seems darker than the others???? I love what you are doing here Em. This image has a super vertical composition, and very interesting colours.
I think that you Emy, has a Sylph "inside you"... the activity of the human mind, influence and inspire humans, active, quick of movment and speeh, clever and intelligent - are a good description :))) Ok Ok - the image! It's beautiful, magic and has a inner glow!!! Remarkable colours and a superb merge of two images into one!
