Sylph (creature)
The sylphs or sylphids is a creature of fiction, sometimes associated by error with the Fée S. the term would come from the alchemist Paracelse, who describes the sylphs like invisible beings of the air, elemental of the Air.
The sylphs come from the Mythologies Celtic Gauloise, and Germanic.
Examples of description
In the imaginary worlds, they can merge among the Mortel S like the elemental S and the Sorcier S.
Of intermediate nature between the men and the angels, they seek to approach the latter. They are however particularly affected by the pollution which makes them much suffer.
Very mobile, their bodies are light and fluid and can appear in the form of a cloud condensed in the light of the twilight. They live the sky and the clouds in the middle of the storms and of the winds. They can give to the clouds the form which they wish and often make us of the signs when we take time to look at the sky.
Their capacities refer to all that relates to the air in general.
