The magical elements are said to be peopled by spirits and mythological entities called elementals or nature spirits. These are grouped into four main categories:
Earth: Gnome, Dwarfs, Elves, Brownies, Hobgoblins, Leprechauns Water: Undine, Nymphs, Tritons, Mermaids, Mermen, Sirens, Harpies, Salamander Fire: Jin, Genies Air: Sylph, Faries, Angels
Elementals are usually only visible to those with clairvoyant sight and are more likely to be seen at night in the mountains or country away from cities -- especially if you are tired or sleepy. Although elementals exist naturally, it is also possible to create one which will exist for a limited time -- no elemental has immortality. A created elemental is called an 'artificial elemental'.
To the Ancients, elementals were the physical explanation of the universe. However, some contemporary occultists see them only as symbols for forces and otherwise not 'real' at all. Another word sometimes used for elemental is 'familiar' (usually in medieval witchcraft); the term is ambiguous, as it might merely be an ordinary household pet such as a dog or cat.

The main 5 elements used in the magickal sense are fire, water, earth, air, and spirit.
I did not include Light and Dark for a reason. They are not used in a magickal sense and that is why they aren't in my posts.

If you're an amateur then you shouldn't sound so sure of yourself. Makes you sound arrogant. And thanks for the compliment. I found this Avi.... somewhere.

This has nothing to do with this topic. Please stay on topic and keep talk about the astral plane in the appropiate board.

elemental beasts? I know there are "creatures" called elementals on the astral plane but i'm not sure if i've seen one...atleast I don't remember yet.
but there is actualy quite a few creatures astrally you can keep as pets like a dog or cat here, but these aren't elementals. Imp's are one of those creatures you can keep as pets, margoyls as well (miniature versions of gargoyls) and others.
