Elemental spirits, what are they?

An elemental is the spirit embodiment one of the five elements, earth, water, air, fire, and spirit. Elementals often go by many different names depending on who you talk to. They are sometimes called fairies, elves, devas, brownies, leprechauns, gnomes, sprites, pixies, banshees, goblins, dryads, mermaids, trolls, dragons, griffins, and so on. These are the nature spirits that are also known as elementals. The elemental spirits are thought to possess supernatural powers, are typically thought to be invisible, live among the trees, rivers, plants, bogs, mountains, and other such minerals. They attach or are attracted to just about every natural thing.

It’s not uncommon to find that these elemental spirits are blamed for things such as hauntings, mushroom rings, and other oddities in nature. The question for many Pagans is are these types of spirits real. For the most part this question creates more questions than answers and the answers will very from person to person. One thing you can be certain of is that there does seem to be something out there.
