Elementals are governed by the Archangels and, like angels, they don't have a definate form or appearance. If they were to show themselves to you, they would choose something you will recognise ~ a face in a candle flame, a soft breeze on your face etc.

Earth ~ Gnomes. Being of the earth, Gnomes usually live in the soil, beside rocks, beneath the ground and under tree roots. Gnomes will only help humans if they've been considerate of nature and treat it well. They are very helpful of those who have established a connection with them through prior acts of kindness. Other earth elementals are ~ Brownies, Dryads, Durdalis, Earth Spirits, Elves, Hamadryads, Pans, Pygmies, Sylvestres and Satyrs.

Air ~ Sylphs. The Sylphs have the highest vibratory rate and are said to live on the tops of mountains. The leader of the sylphs is a being called Paralda who is said to dwell on the highest mountain on earth. They often assume human form but only for short periods of time. They are usually seen with wings, looking like Cherubs or Fairies. Because of their connection to air, which is associated with the mental aspect, one of their functions is to help humans receive inspiration.
The Sylphs are drawn to those who use their minds, particularly those on creative arts. Sylphs are usually sympathetic of human endeavours and for the most part, their actions towards them are kindly and thoughtful. The sylphs can have a profound and powerful influence on the human mental body and thought and they're responsible for being the primary impetus behind both inspirational art and inventions.

Water ~ Undines. The water sprites (Undines) closely resemble humans in appearance and size, except for those inhabiting smaller streams and ponds. They are beautiful, emotional and graceful nature spirits who dress themselves in greenish, sea-coloured garb that has both a shimmering consistency and a watery texture. Their ruler is known as Necksa who they love, serve and honour unceasingly. Since their purpose is to direct the flow and course of the waters of the planet, they live in coral caves, fountains, lakes, marshlands, rivers, seas, waterfalls and underneath lilypads.
Besides caring for plants both above and below the surface of the water, the Undines are concerned with the movements of the water and how they relate to human emotions and soul responses. They are friendly, approachable and are very willing to work with people and help them. Etheric in nature, they exist within the water itself and this is why they cant be seen with the normal physical vision. Other Undines are ~ Limoniades, Mermaids, Naiads, Oceanid, Oreads, Potamides and Sea Maids.

Fire ~ Salamanders. Without Salamanders, fire cannot exist. You cannot light a match without a Salamander being present. They are considered the strongest and most powerful of all the elementals. Their ruler is a magnificent flaming being called Djin. On the spiritual level, they also help to awaken kundalini. Salamanders will always help people who are friendly towards them and keep their heart fires burning.
