    When i was younger ,we lived on a farm in Poland, i would sit on the couch and everytime i did, these little gnomes ( i think they were gnomes) . im not sure what exactly they were but they would come out and literally jump on me ,play and dance. For the longest time i thought it was my imagination until i mentioned it to my aunt and my mom and they confirmed its true and told me it would happen to them too when they were growing up.They grew up on that same farm. I also had encounters with fairies and would play and chase them around in the same farm. Ever since im in Canada i havent seen them again but really hope i am able to invite them into my life again

    Yes! I like it so much when you said you don't command the spirits. I never believe that too, I felt asking politely for assistant, be grateful and thankful after receiving help works wonder in working with them and maintaining a good working relationships. I felt that they were very helpful as I had great results working with them.

    I didnt know about the elementals. I had the Godess Kali show up one day without knowing who she was. I figured it out later. She was by far the most beautiful and Holy Presence I had ever felt. I just wanted to get on the floor and lie down at her feet. Even with this i thought the elementals were make believe but I had placed a bowl of shiney objects for my own amusement and my mom woke up and saw this little man next to the shiny objects.

    I live in a place with strong winds so I'm definitely no stranger to Sylphs. How they appear to me is almost translucent, shimmery,grayish beings in constant motion. They're thin with high cheekbones and "bony" shoulders. They ALWAYS appear naked and seem to be very happy. Out of all of the elementals, they're the most "friendly" towards me. I sketch them often but they come and go. I GREATLY struggle to connect with fire elementals, but I've always felt connected to the air element. Just sharing :D ♡

    Hey Ariel, afaik angel just literally means messenger - a messenger of God that is.
    The Christian view actually is not the romanticized version with beauty, two swan swings and human appearance. They don't possess free will like humans do, but extreme intelligence. In visions they are often depicted with six wings, multiple faces, full of eyes inside and outside, praising God at all times. The first thing they say usually is "be not afraid" - and that's for a reason. There's good reason to believe that their old testament depictions inspired Lovecrafts writings.
    They aren't things to play with.

      There was 1 time were I swear I caught one through an EVP recording and I was told by a local that it was fairies in that Evp..Now any normal random person I swear won't believe this, but after hearing that recording and in the actual location where I was at, at that time, ITS VERY POSSIBLE.
      So after that ^ investigation let's just say I have had what I would consider dream visitations, 3 of them; and they were about Fairies..super strange because that's never happened before with that type of spirit..and each "dream" they revealed themselves more to me basically, but they told me that people don't believe they exist so I wouldn't be able to tell anyone about this 😂 so wild I swear!!
