Nature Spirits
Various types of
beings said to exist in nature.
Belief in the existence of nature spirits is common to all
cultures throughout history. They are usually attached to a specific place, such as a
tree, river, plant or mountain. They come in a variety of shapes and temperaments. Some
are described as human in form, others are like animals or are half-human, half animal;
some are helpful, others deceitful or malevolent. They are normally invisible to humans,
except to those with the gift of clairvoyance.
Elementals are a sub-class
of nature spirits that are a part of the life force of all things in nature. They are
ruled by archangels and are generally
regarded as benevolent. The Neoplatonic Greeks
categorized elementals according to the four elements: Earth elementals are gnomes;
Air elementals are sylphs; Water elementals are undines; and Fire elementals are
salamanders. In the Middle Ages interest in these main groups was revived and alchemists and magicians
sought to control and manipulate the forces of nature and the universe. Other
elementals
include elves,
who live in the woods, and household spirits such as brownies, goblins and bogies.
Fairies are also sometimes included in this category.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
