Dear Ones,

Here are the links to the pages in the series “Tiny Anthologies: Nature Spirits.” These I imagine to be the sparkling diamond-shaped beings of Light in the images in the lists below. Very roughly speaking, the earlier images are towards the top of the list.

The slider at the top is a preview of the images on this page, and ought not be published on its own, as it lacks captions.

INTRODUCTION

Nature Spirits Are the Children of the Devas

I think of Nature Spirits as baby Devas. Devas are a type of angel that takes care of the natural world, and nature spirits … which I conceive to be the children of the devas … help their parents in these tasks.

Deva Giving Birth to Baby Nature Spirits

It seems to me that this image may have captured a Deva giving birth to baby nature spirits (from “Nature Spirits 10”). There is a similar birthing image in “Nature Spirits 11.” …

. . . . .

The first five images in “Nature Spirits 17” seem to me to be of a Deva preparing to give birth, and then giving birth to a burst of baby nature spirits. You can look those images up in the relevant link below.

Deva Dancing and Playing with Baby Nature Spirits

This image from “Nature Spirits 13” seems to me to be that of a Deva dancing and playing with her nature spirit babies …

Showers of Nature Spirits Appearing as Diamond-Shaped Beings of Light

Sometimes my camera captures nature spirits as a great shower of tiny, diamond-shaped beings of Light, as in this image from “Nature Spirits 1” …

. . . . .

More examples of nature spirits showering down on Earth are images 1, 4, and 5 in “Nature Spirits 18” and the second image in “Nature Spirits 20.” These images may be found in the relevant links below.

As a telepath who speaks with both human and nonhuman beings here on Earth, I sometimes overhear nature spirits chatting away. I feel the main characteristic of nature spirits is joyful playfulness. They love their work. It is their joyfulness, I feel, that helps to animate or enliven, and to sustain the life forms of the physical world.

Faeries, Elves, Gnomes, and Brownies: Their Colors Represent Their Playful Work in the World

It seems to me that the colors of the nature spirits may offer a clue as to the type of fun-filled work they do in tending the natural world. For instance, if the nature spirits have a beautiful rainbow aspect, (as in this image from “Nature Spirits 2”) it seems to me they may be faeries (sometimes termed ‘fairies’) …

. . . . .

Other examples of rainbow-colored nature spirits are these: The first image in “Nature Spirits 1,” the second image in “Nature Spirits 8,” and the last image in “Nature Spirits 19,” the links to which are in the list below.

Here are images of faerie homes, in case that might be helpful in identifying faeries in the wild …

If the nature spirits have a greenish tint, then maybe they are elves, as in the image below, which is that of nature spirits in a woodland setting (from “Nature Spirits 14”) …

If the nature spirits have a faded, greyish tint, then maybe they are gnomes, as in the image below, which is that of nature spirits near a dying tree (from “Nature Spirits 18”) …

Image: “Paramount Ranch, Santa Monica Mountains, California: Incoming Light 1 – Light Downloads – Light Upgrades – Nature Spirits,” by Alice B. Clagett, 1 March 2021, CC BY-SA 4.0 International, from “Awakening with Planet Earth,” https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com ..

. . . . .

Gnomes, as nearly as I can tell, live above ground but are greyish brown in aspect. You may surmise from other work of mine that gnomes like to live in holes in the bottoms of tree trunks, and that they are sometimes mistaken for small rocks …

Here are images of gnome homes, in case you have not yet sussed them out on your own …

Brownies, on the other hand, as nearly as I can tell, live inside detritus … which is to say, inside tree litter and beneath the leaves of grass that lie on the fields after the grass dies in the meadows in summer. In the deserts, they live under the fallen leaves of plants and just beneath the soil. In fact, they like to live just beneath the soil everywhere on Earth. Here are a few images of brownie workplaces …

Here is an image from “Nature Spirits 11” that I feel may be of brownies. I say that because of the washed-out color and because the diamond-shaped beings of Light seem to be raining down on the detritus at the base of the oak tree in the image …

Image: “Tree Talk: Incoming Light During January Gateway, Orcutt Ranch Horticultural Center and Community Garden, San Fernando Valley, California 22: Light Downloads – Light Upgrades – Nature Spirits,” by Alice B. Clagett, 18 January 2021, CC BY-SA 4.0 International, from “Awakening with Planet Earth,” https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com ..

. . . . .

You can see that, in the diamond Light form brownies are difficult to distinguish from gnomes. Brownies may appear to be more ‘washed-out’ Light than gnomes.

That may have to do with the energy of the tiny detritivores and saphrophytes … such as millipedes, centipedes, earwigs, springtails, woodlice [pill bugs], dung flies, slugs, earthworms, bacteria, and fungi … that they befriend. Location may be a clue to distinguishing brownies from gnomes.

For more about the beings that brownies help … the beings that live in detritus … see this fun read …

With all that to go on, can you guess the types of nature spirits in the images that are in the links below?

Nature Spirits That Appear to Us in Human Form

Amongst the images of the Nature Spirits in my work there are also some renditions of human forms. The image below, from “Nature Spirits 12,” is an example of this …

This, though very different from sparkling diamond sunlight, is held to in popular tradition as being a quality of Nature Spirits, that they can transform themselves into images through which they may more comfortably relate to the Earth beings they encounter.

For the sake of comparison with my images of varicolored diamond beings of Light as representations of nature spirits, here are popular folk story images of faeries, elves, and brownies.

Popular images vary greatly. In keeping with my rainbow-colored diamond Light images above, I have picked a rainbow colored image for the faeries, which is the first image below …

Elves are often depicted in folk tales as green-clad beings. The works of J.R.R. Tolkien are notable examples of elven lore, as it appears the author knew their languages. Here is an elven image inspired by Tolkien’s work …

And here is an unlikely image of a brownie, whose basis is the popular notion that brownies like to live in people’s houses, and that they will help with housecleaning.

While brownies may keep housewives company, I feel it unlikely they would offer the least bit of help with housecleaning. That is because the very few, stalwart brownies that live in modern houses will not feel the least comfortable there unless there is a layer of dust in which they can pursue their work. I am quite keen on this notion, despite the popular lore.

Here is the image, which must have been of an uncustomarily surly brownie …

And now back to my own original research on nature spirits, and the startling discoveries that are in store for each of you! …

Nature Spirit Artists and the Images That They Paint in the Natural World

Sometimes Nature Spirits make playful images of themselves in the plants and trees they tend. There are many examples of these Nature Spirit portraits in my website. Often I find these portraits in the bark of trees, as imaged at this link …

Link: “Tiny Anthologies: Tree Spirit Friendships,” by Alice B. Clagett, compiled and published on 23 May 2020; updated on 2 June 2023 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-iit ..

The two images below are the work of quite a talented nature spirit artist, whose name I do not know, and which I discovered in wild fennel stalks in the Simi Hills of California (from “Nature Spirits 6”). It looks as if the higher representation may be of an elf, and the lower representation may be of a brownie …

Nature Spirits at Play with Human Beings

In the series of images in “Nature Spirits 7” the Nature Spirits are playing and having fun with me. It was quite a fun experience! I see they made me Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer in the last four images there. One never knows what will happen next when playing with the nature spirits! …
