Weeks "There was thought to be four kinds of elemental beings one form each element: mermaids the water spirits, sylphs the spirits, gnomes the earth spirits, salamanders the fire spirits. Now, it has been discovered through new knowledge of how the world works, science has led us to realize that humanity itself has its own elemental power. Earth scientists speak of natural tectonics. These are the forces cracking the planet's crust with earthquakes and volcanoes. But humanity is a tectonic force, too. "The elementals are said to be able to move through their own elements as human beings move through air. ... Elementals lacked this last part, the immortal soul. However, by marriage with a human being, the elemental and its offspring could gain a soul. "In the Paracelsian concept, elementals are conceived more as supernatural humanoid beings, which are much like human beings except for lacking souls. These beings, known as elementals, were said to be longer-lived than man but ceased to exist upon death. However, if the elemental were to wed a mortal, they would become immortal." Information on elementals is found in mythology, ancient history, The Old Testament, and sites such as Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental and or search for Elementals on Google.
