"Elementals are nature spirits. They exist in nature in different forms such as earth, air, fire or water. Air elementals are also known as Sylphs. Sometimes their voices are heard on the wind or their airy forms are felt in passing, though they are rarely seen. They are described as almost transparent, very small, and winged or alternatively as tall with long feathered wings, large, hawk-like eyes and angular faces. The term sylph is derived from the Greek word silphe, which means a ‘butterfly’ or ‘moth’. In Irish folklore the butterfly symbolised a person’s soul. The significance was that at death, the soul had the ability to cross-over from this world into the Otherworld."
