Nature Spirits Photo Series: Elven Homes . by Alice B. Clagett *

Dear Ones,

In recent months I have been a little more in contact with the nature spirits I call elves, faeries, brownies,  and gnomes.

Here is the fourth of four elf photo collections in a photo series: Elf Homes. The other three elf photo collections, which appear in other blogs, are: Elf Energy, Singles Collection; Elf Energy, Diptych Collection; and Elf Energy: Triptych Collection …

Link: “Nature Spirits Photo Series: Elf Energy,” photos by Alice B. Clagett, compiled on 1 April 2020 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-hfo ..

I have also published a blog on Faerie Homes …

Link: “Nature Spirits Photo Series: Faerie Homes,” by Alice B. Clagett, filmed on 27 April 2019; published on 7 August 2019 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-dT3 ..

As can be seen from the photos below, elves like trees and forests, forest glades, the brooks that meander through meadows and woodland, and the little ponds that the brooks make there. Mostly, elves leave flowers to the faeries, but they love the flowers of trees, and they like plants whose flowers are quite small or else green, and ferns, which have no flowers.

Like the faeries, elves like sunlight that is speckled or hazy or dappled; rainbow-colored flecks and sprinkles of sunlight; and the soft colors of the sky at dawn and just after sunset. Both elves and faeries like nights when the moon is bright and many stars are sparkling in the sky; at least, it is easy to see them on those sorts of nights!

Here is more about elves and fairies, but not to do with today’s photos …

Like the faeries, elves love the creatures of the forest … deer and foxes, skunks and badgers and porcupines, chipmunks and squirrels, for instance. Also, the less assuming creatures of the forest, such as pack rats and mice, and bats, toads and frogs.

Faeries, in particular, love birds of all sorts. Also, and especially, they love bears, as bears are good to ride upon, and fun to tickle on the ears. You are more likely to find elves near a sleeping bear, unless they feel especially mischievous (which, when I come to think of it, is quite frequently the case).

As is well known by those who delight in the company of nature spirits, both faeries and elves like damselflies and dragonflies. Catching a glimpse of the flittering wings of these latter beings often signifies the nearby presence of elves or faeries.

Nature Spirits Photo Series: Faerie Homes . by Alice B. Clagett *

Filmed on 27 April 2019; published on 7 August 2019

Dear Ones,

In recent months I have been a little more in contact with the nature spirits I call elves, faeries, brownies,  and gnomes.

Here is the photo series: Faerie Homes. I also recently published a blog on Elven Homes …

Both faeries and elves like nights when the moon is bright and many stars are sparkling in the sky; at least, it is easy to see them on those sorts of nights!

Dear Ones,

NATURE SPIRITS: BROWNIES, GNOMES, ELVES AND FAIRIES

In recent months I have been a little more in contact with the nature spirits I call brownies, gnomes, elves, and faeries, and have learned a little more about brownies and gnomes in particular.

After channeling about these tiny, winsome beings in recent days …

Link: “Brownies and Gnomes: The Series,” channeled by Alice B. Clagett, filmed mostly on 2 August 2019; published on 11 and 12 August 2019 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-dWM ..

… I went back to unpublished work from this spring, and found videos taken ‘by mistake’ … somehow the camcorder started running while I was walking, it seems … and some of these chanced-upon videos had images in them relating to the world of brownies and elves.

THE ENERGY OF BROWNIES

In my channeling, Brownies have to do with digestion … whether digestion of food inside animal intestines; digestion of fallen leaves and sticks into the detritus and the richly fertile humus of a forest floor; or digestion of detritus that falls on the floors of Earth’s oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and streams.

ANIMALS THAT BROWNIES BEFRIEND

I feel the brownies must befriend detritivorous animals, so I looked this topic up in Wikipedia, and found: “Typical detritivorous animals include millipedes, springtails, woodlice [pill bugs], dung flies, slugs, many terrestrial worms, sea stars, sea cucumbers, fiddler crabs, and some sedentary polychaetes such as worms of the family Terebellidae).

“Scavengers are not typically thought to be detritivores, as they generally eat large quantities of organic matter, but both detritivores and scavengers are the same type of cases of consumer-resource systems.” –from Link: “Detrivore,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detritivore ..

From the above list, two sorts of detrivores that are very prevalent on Earth are earthworms and also springtails, which are cryptozoa that consume microbes as well as detritus. These two … earthworms and springtails … must be very well known to brownies; in fact I surmise that brownies oversee and catalyze their digestive work in the topsoils of Earth.

Most cryptozoa are little known to humans, and springtails are no exception. Wikipedia has this to say about springtails: “In sheer numbers, they are reputed to be one of the most abundant of all macroscopic animals, with estimates of 100,000 individuals per square meter of ground, essentially everywhere on Earth where soil and related habitats (moss cushions, fallen wood, grass tufts, ant and termite nests) occur.” –from Link: “Cryptozoa,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptozoa ..

I took a look at the Wikipedia description of cryptozoa: “Cryptozoa is the collective name for small animals who live in darkness and under conditions of high relative humidity, as in the wet soil underneath rocks, decomposing tree bark etc. Examples include pseudoscorpions, … centipedes and earwigs.” –from Link: “Cryptozoa,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptozoa ..

While pseudoscorpions, centipedes and earwigs are predatory rather than detrivorous, their location in forest litter places them within the energy field of brownies.

Brownies also oversee the work of saprophytes, which continue the act of digesting forest litter after the work of detrivores is done, further breaking it down to humus. Well known saprophytes that are befriended by the brownies are bacteria and fungi. –from Link: “Decomposition,” by Terry Watkins … https://science.jrank.org/pages/1967/Decomposition.html ..

COLORS THAT BROWNIES LIKE

Brownies like dun colors, shades of brown, and darkish colors of blue and purple. In fact, it seems, they like the colors of the detrivores and the saprophytes they work with, and of the other cryptozoa and scavengers they often encounter. Also, they like the colors of detritus, whether on land or in the water, and they like the colors of humus.

NATURE SPIRITS PHOTO SERIES: BROWNIE ENERGY

Here is the first of two Brownie photo series: Brownie Energy. The second, which will appear in a subsequent blog, is Brownie Workplaces …
