ELEMENTALS
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Theosophist, occultist, and New Ager, explains
about the elementals. She writes:
“ELEMENTAL SPIRITS.—The creatures evolved in the four kingdoms of
earth, air, fire, and water, and called by the kabalists gnomes, sylphs,
salamanders, and undines. They may be termed the forces of nature, and
will either operate effects as the servile agents of general law, or may be
employed by the disembodied spirits—whether pure or impure—and by
living adepts of magic and sorcery, to produce desired phenomenal results.
Such beings never become men.
“Under the general designation of fairies, and fays, these spirits of the
elements appear in the myth, fable, tradition, or poetry of all nations,
ancient and modern. Their names are legion—peris, devs, jinn, sylvans,
satyrs, fauns, elves, dwarfs, trolls, norns, nisses, kobolds, brownies, necks,
stromkarls, undines, nixies, salamanders, goblins, ponkes, banshees,
kelpies, pixies, moss people, good people, good neighbors, wild women,
men of peace, white ladies—and many more. They have been seen, feared,
blessed, banned, and invoked in every quarter of the globe and in every age.
Shall we then concede that all who have met them were hallucinated?
“These elementals are the principal agents of disembodied but never visible
spirits at seances, and the producers of all the phenomena except the
subjective.” [Caps and italics in the original Boldface added]
One New Age catalog sells a tape on nature spirits. It asks:
What is a nature spirit? Oral tradition and literature depict nature spirits as
fairies, trolls, leprechauns and angels.
Become acquainted with the qualities and sensitives of these unusual,
mysterious creatures, from primitive to complex. This myth-dispelling tape
reveals interaction patterns between nature spirits and humans, touching on
common conceptions of satanic and demonic-type beings as well. Safely
guided through meditations to contact nature spirits, you will be
captivated as you feel the joyful love abundant in their enchanting realm.”
In the November/December 1989 issue of Connecting Link was an article
on elementals entitled “Helpers.” This is an article dictated by a SPIRIT
GUIDE (demon). Samuel (the spirit guide/ demon) says:
“There’s a group that specializes in the earth. Another in air. Another in
water. Another in fire. Another in spirit. The four basic elements, earth, air,
water and fire work with specific things of earth. The elementals of spirit
work specifically with that creation which has grown beyond simple form
and are beings of spirits or humans. All of this group is called the angelic
kingdom. It is also called the devic kingdom.
“Deva is a Sanskrit word which means ‘the shining ones.’...Deva is shining
one (sic) because it is describing light energy.
“There are very many names within each of these groups and the names that
I am using here are your words. Every language has its own words.
Legends, childhood stories, will have many differentiations or labels for
specific aspects of energy. For instance, earth energy is under a great broad
category I am calling gnomes. Under gnomes there are very many species.
Each of those species has a particular work to do. And it is the work that is
to be done that determines the particular species....
“Perhaps you would prefer to think of earth energy as fairies rather than
gnomes. One is perhaps a prettier thought but the idea of a gnome I believe
gives a picture that is more earthy....
“Earth elementals, for this, will be called gnomes. Now, of course, you’ve
got pixies and brownies. You’ve got dryads. You’ve got all kinds of things
in here—elves, leprechauns....
“The devic kingdom is here to help you....
“There is a water energy, that which works with the element of water. They
are called undines. Again, these are light beings. The only body that these
beings have are the bodies which your thoughts create and they create an
actual thought form which these light beings are more than delighted to slip
into to try to communicate with you [spirit communication].
“If you are convinced that sea spirits look like women with very pretty long
hair and fishy tails, that’s what you’ll see. If you believe that leprechauns
wear small green hats and small green suits and have pointed ears, they’ll
put that on. If you believe a fairy has lovely translucent wings and long
flowing gowns, that is what you will see. Your expectations are creating the
body through which that light can manifest in a more easy manner....
“Sylphs are the elementals of air. You go into a city in which the air is quite
filled with debris. Perhaps you need to be the only one in the city wise
enough to call upon the sylphs to give you an extra dose of pure air.
“The element of fire is perhaps the most powerful of the earth elements. It
is often considered the purification element. It is changeable. It is beautiful.
Those elementals which work with fire are called salamanders. When you
need fire, you call upon the salamanders. When you need fire to stop, call
upon the salamanders....
“They’ve got their own work to do, but they are affected by you. When you
call them, consciously or not, they are going to do your bidding....[When
you meditate and say, ‘heal the planet,’—ed.] you are commanding
legions.”
Some of these elementals are once again becoming popular. Take the troll,
for instance. A few years ago the troll was a big fad for children. There
were the “Treasure Trolls.” One author wrote: "They’re so ugly that they’re
cute, but are they as harmless as the (sic) look?”
“Treasure Trolls come with a ‘wishstone,’ a crystal inserted in the belly
button. Crystals are important to the New Age theology, as it is believed
they possess a life force influence that can be tapped for healing purposes.
The belly button is significant because it represents the umbilical
connection, or the centre of the lifeforce.
“The gems on the Treasure Troll doll have an additional significance, one
not lost on the imagination of children. They are wishstones, talismans that
can make their every dream come true.”
Another author states:
“The cute-ugly trolls that have captivated American children epitomize
today’s delight in neo-paganism when joined to popular ideals. While the
trolls of Scandinavian fairy tales would uproot trees, enslave beautiful
women and turn people into stone with cruel spells, today’s monsters are
environmentally correct. Note how one troll-maker disguises the evil and
makes myth sound like truth:
“‘There was a time when waters were clean and forests were untouched,
when ancient legends spoke of Guardians of the Earth...In Scandinavian
lands, these mysterious creatures were TROLLS, and were known to guard
what was left of the earth's natural treasures... Because they were rarely
seen, people believed TROLLS no longer existed. Today, these nearly
forgotten creatures are once again in our midst...working their earth magic
to help humans.’ (‘Troll Kidz’ by Russ Berrie and Co.)” [Emphasis in the
original]
Of course, children aren’t the only ones being attracted to these spirit
beings. When an earthquake in October 1989 shook a span of the San
Francisco’s Bay Bridge, “help” was soon offered in the form of a talisman.
Webster tells us a talisman is “an object bearing a sign or character
engraved under astrological influences and thought to act as a charm to
avert evil and bring good fortune. The talisman put beneath the roadway
was a troll with homed head and webbed feet. It is supposed to ward off evil
spirits. “The craftsmen plan to offer trolls to other structures damaged by
the earthquake, and even to new high-rise office blocks. Meanwhile, troll Tshirts
are selling well in San Francisco.”
What most people don’t realize is that the “word troll comes from the Old
Norse word for demon and is defined by some sources as a ‘devil: a
person of great wickedness or maliciousness.
So, when your child brings home a troll, he or she has in actuality brought
home a representation of a demon!! These demons are also disguised as
gnomes, pixies, dwarves, leprechauns, and elves (as well as many other
creatures). I’m sure you recall the Keebler elves. Of course, Santa has his
elves, too. There’s also Snow White with her seven dwarves and Cinderella
with her fairy godmother. All these are demonic representations but they
are presented in such a “cute” way that most people have no idea of the evil
character behind these objects.
Another elemental spirit is known as a vetta. There are supposedly evil and
good vettas. The vetta was introduced to a host of people during the 1994
Winter Olympics. “A CBS reporter described the event: ‘We introduce you
to the mythical beliefs of the Norwegian people. Popping out of the ground
are the Vettas, mythical characters rooted in ancient Nordic folktales and
sagas.’” The reporter continued:
“‘We know them as gnomes, pixies, trolls....The vettas are an integral part
of Norwegian beliefs...They are said to be knowledgeable and wise...and
watch constantly over the activities of mankind. That’s because these are
good vettas as opposed to the evil vettas. They say that if you are good to
the vettas and consult [them—Ed.] before you build your barn, [they—Ed.]
will be good to you.’”
In The Seeker's Handbook we are told that elementals are:
“Nature-spirits who inhabit the four elements, widely described in folklore
as visible to people of former times who lived in close communion with
nature; for instance, leprechauns, fairies, and ‘little people.’ Specifically,
gnomes (Earth), undines (Water), sylphs (Air), salamanders (Fire)— all
CREATURES WHO FIGURE STRONGLY IN CEREMONIAL
MAGIC AND PRACTICES OF NATURE-WORSHIP, OR WICCA.”
One occult/New Age organization states:
“ELEMENTALS ARE USED IN HIGH MAGICK, AND
OCCASIONALLY IN WITCHCRAFT AND OTHER MAGICAL
TRADITIONS, TO GUARD MAGICK CIRCLES AND ASSIST IN
MAGICKAL (sic) ACTS.
“In The Golden Dawn, Israel Regardie explains how to use elementals
within rituals.”
“Occultists regard elementals as beings having substance, but visible only
to those who have inner sight; some elementals are regarded benign, others
as malignant.”
One organization that gained fame in the past 30 years is Findhorn
Community. It was founded in 1965 by Peter and Eileen Caddy and
Dorothy Maclean.
“[Maclean] made contact with the devas—nature spirits said to be
associated with various plant, species, or landscape features....The first
contact was made with a pea deva. Maclean was told that the garden would
succeed as they cooperated with the devas by seeking their advice and
gaining their permission to rearrange the landscape. Some like the pea deva
were specific to a species, while others like the landscape deva relate to
more general aspects of the garden itself. The garden’s abundance became
known throughout the neighborhood and its noteworthy success brought
several other followers to the community.
“During the next several years the group continued to follow Eileen’s
guidance and the advice of the devas channeled through Maclean.
Members also established contact with other theosophical and spiritualist
groups.
In 1965 Peter traveled to a gathering of spiritual groups organized by Sir
George Trevelyan, author and head of the Wrekin Trust. They were visited
in 1966 by Robert Ogilvie Crombie, an Edinburgh spiritualist who, as a
result of his visit, contacted the elemental nature spirits who work with the
devas. Crombie soon made contact with PAN, THE GOD OF THE
NATURE ELEMENTALS, and brought what was seen as completeness to
the efforts of the Caddys and Maclean. Findhorn residents began to think of
themselves as an experiment in cooperation between devas, nature
elementals, and humans.”
One person who worked with Findhorn was David Spangler. He wrote:
“LUCIFER works within each of us to bring us to wholeness, and as we
move into a NEW AGE, which is the age of man’s wholeness, each of us in
some way is brought to that point which I term the LUCIFERIC
INITIATION, the particular doorway through which the individual MUST
PASS IF he is to come “fully” into the presence of his light and his
wholeness.”
Later in his book, Reflections on the Christ, Spangler states: “LUCIFER
came to give us the final gift of wholeness. If we accept it then he is free
and we are free. That is the LUCIFERIC INITIATION. It is one that
many people now, and in the days ahead will be facing, for it is an
initiation into the NEW AGE.” People who worship and adore Lucifer are
also the ones who believe in elementals!
One elemental or nature spirit that most people would recognize is the
leprechaun. You can see this elemental every St. Patrick’s Day. You also see
the leprechaun on boxes of Lucky Charms cereal. Also, take a good look
at the name of the cereal— Lucky Charms. Notice the occult overtone. By the way, the word cereal comes from Ceres—the GODDESS of grain.
