Elementals

In the world of magick, the five elements are often utilized and integrated into our rituals depending on the nature of the ritual that is about to be done. To each of the four non-Akasha elements (all of them belong to Akasha, because all of them are spiritual beings), there are "guardians" or, elementals. These are beings that have been talked about in a lot of folklore (usually called "fairytales") and that most people today believe to be fictitious. There are a lot of different stories about each of them, including their mannerisms or external appearance, but take into account that elementals, like people, each have an individual mindset or personality. So, while some may be benign, others may be mischevious or even evil. Here is a list of a few elementals from the different elements:

Air Elementals



Faeries


Sylphs (usually the name of the broad category of Air elementals, but considered an individual being on its own by others.)



Unicorns. (This may be debated, but I've often seen them portrayed as elementals of the Air element.)



Zephyrs




Fire Elementals


Salamanders



Dragons




Phoenix


Water Elementals



Nymphs



Undines



Mer-people



Sea serpents (Although, this may be debated, as well.)


Earth Elementals



Gnomes



Dwarves



Elves



Trolls


These are just a few of them and these are just human depictions, mostly those which come second-hand or third-hand, by people who've never seen elementals before, but who have seen them in pictures and art.
