Sylph Fairies
Sylphs are fairies that originate in the work of the famous alchemist Paracelsus and the word 'Sylph' literally means 'butterfly'. They are found in peaceful areas of greenery where radiant flowers grow- they particularly enjoy flowers that are red and yellow.
Sylph fairies appear in the form of winged feminine figures that are almost transparent. They love to fly through the air and race with bees and other insects. It is only when they rest on top of a flower that they become truly visible and those who are lucky enough to have seen one report that they are very beautiful and magical.
Sylphs bring harmony and balance.

The Green Children originate from English folklore. They live in hidden borrows under the earth and only come out during the day when everything is quiet and peaceful. They are extremely shy in manner and hide when others come near.
The Green Children speak to one another through the power of telepathy. Sometimes these thoughts can be heard just on the edge of awareness, if you listen closely. They speak about nature and they act as gardeners to the forest, helping plants to grow. They maintain and cultivate plants and trees with water so each and every one can blossom.
