I am Nalet a Croatian Snow Sylph. I travel the globe designing snowflakes when it snows. I was born of the North Wind and I am a sculptor, muse and artist. I am extremely fond of Human Children and love to play with them in the snow, showing them all my wondrous creations. Human children unlike adults, take time to study my snowflakes and take boundless joy in their beauty. They stop and watch them float down to them, studying how no matter how many they catch all are different. Of course, that is because each one is created with loving care. I am just one of many Snow Sylphs who create snowflakes. As I am lucky enough to have this forum, I offer this message for all who read this. I would have you remember the joy and wonder that you experienced as a child in their first snow fall. The awe you felt in the glittering beauty of each individual snowflake creation, the differences in their designs. Oh! I have a grand idea, let your inner child out to play, grab some paper (any kind of paper will do) and some scissors and fold and cut the paper and create your own snowflake. As you do this realize I do the same thing to create my snowflakes, I just use unconventional materials. I fold space and time to create my snowflakes made from frozen water molecules, but paper ones are beautiful too! When I need inspiration, I like to float by those hanging in the windows of schools, daycares, and homes. In conclusion, take some time next time the snow is glistening and flurries are floating by to go outside and embrace the wonderland around you. If you whisper my name know that I am listening!
So as promised on my Facebook page here is Aerick's Tale!
I am Aerick, the Moon Energy Guardian. I guide, guard, protect, and heal all those who live by the light of the Moon Goddess. I travel the globe although I originated from the lands of the Norse. I travel more now than in olden times as there are fewer of those that grow, hunt, and live by the light of the moon. Unfortunately, their numbers are dwindling as it is harder to see and basks in the moon’s energy. Her loving light has been mutated, filtered, and changed by the artificial light created by humans that hides the night sky. While this does sadden me, as an Earth Elf I know that nothing ever truly dies it just changes, and there are those in my charge who have successfully adapted to human civilization, like the coyotes who I live with. It is my coyote brothers who have gifted me my armor, so humans rarely see me, and if they do, more often than not they think I am a coyote or stray domesticated animal. I used to work with the human wise men of olden days to guide them to the ancient moon lit paths to help keep balance and harmony. I even spent some time living among them in the days when they lived in harmony with the natural world. I still remember those days fondly, and I wish there were more humans who still listened, questioned and saw the magic around them. It for that reason that I have asked to be shown here in all my regalia, so that you may call upon me in the loving embrace of the moons light. I know some of you still walk the old paths and labyrinths. Call on me and I will guide and protect you too! Perhaps you will see me or one of the other Moon Guardians, or hear one of my brothers the coyote, you never know when you open your heart! Please remember that there is a peaceful energy to the night, not to be feared but embraced. No matter how dark the close your eyes see with your other senses, and learn to hear with your heart. In the dark you will smell, hear, and feel other beings around you more clearly, as you are learning to see with your heart. I leave you now with the blessings that in this life and the next may you rest in the great hall of your ancestors between journeys and bask in the Goddesses love! Alea Swift was a spark of light floating through the cosmos. She has no form or shape. Alea knew that when the time was right she would manifest where the Great Goddess, the Universe needed her. As she approached this beautiful blue and green planet we call Earth, she felt herself captured by its magnificence and power. As she got closer she could hear Mother Earth whispering to her. Alea absorbed the sweet whispers into her soul and knew she had finally found her home in the Universe. Once entering the Earth’s atmosphere Alea Swift began to take shape and connected with the Earth Elementals, who welcomed her as sister, friend, and family.
Alea Swift is an Earth Elemental, she is guardian and keeper of algae, specifically swamp algae. Alea loves dancing on ponds and swamps in the moonlight, algae beginning to glow and process the toxins in the water and muck, recycling it into useful top soil. Ripples can be seen on the surface as she skims along the surface of the water. Her joy and dancing helps transfer her healing energy to the algae aiding it process. Her favorite time to dance in the light of the full moon, keep her algae happy and healthy. She vaguely remembers her time before coming to Earth, because she loves where she is now. So as I have been writing in my Faerie journal I have painted a few faeries who have asked me to share with you who they are and what they do. So some of these are from Faeries in my journal and others are Faeries who have asked me share about them. With their guidance I am going to try and post at least one Faerie Tale and Painting a week as a blog. For those of you who have had a Faerie Spirit Reading the paintings here are a little more detailed as I have more time. If anyone sees these and is interested in learning more about the Faeries in their life, I am teaching a workshop in July and I give Faerie Spirit Readings where we connect with the Faeries in your life and I paint at least one for you who wants to work with you. Please contact me to schedule a reading. I hope everyone who reads these Faerie Tales enjoy them and begin their own joyful relationship with them.
Love and Blessings, Dani So if you read the description on my workshop, you noticed we will be starting a faerie journal. I will provide you with one or you can bring your own. I have started working with the faeries to create a journal myself as an example. I have included some photos of what mine looks like. It is leather bound with a Celtic design and has think handmade paper.
I will be leading a week-long workshop at the Great Lakes Retreat. The description of the workshop is below: A Partnership With the Faeries: Creating A More Positive World Dani Ehlenfeldt ~~ Grand Rapids, MI CLASS SUPPLY FEE: $20 ( to be paid at Retreat to Dani) Join Dani for a week-long faerie experience. In this workshop you will meet and work with the faeries. We will journey to four faerie cities and meet their Kings/Queens. As part of these journeys you will learn about the different types of faeries and faerie traditions from around the world. Together, with your faerie guide, you will create outdoor decorations to bring the faeries closer to you. You will enliven a faerie portal/door to allow the faeries entrance into your life. Lastly, you will create a faerie altar for your home. Working and living with the faeries allows you to create and visualize a more positive world. We will be keeping a faerie journal of your journeys and experiences. I will have one for you, however if you prefer you may bring your own.
