Colors of Gaia - by Cynthia

Cynthia - Fairies and Me
Colors of Gaia

Just remember, look closely at the beautiful wondrous, magical colors if nature, smell her many scented aromas and her her music. 

If you listen from the heart you can also hear the diversity of her warmth and beauty emanating from her many shades of mellifluous singing colors. Like a loving mother, 
Gaia loves us all.

Even after all the pain that she endures at our hands, she still cares for her children.

Her arms always there to embrace us, and to sustain us with her loving embrace.

I pray that someday once again see her dressed in splendor and lean to listen to her music of many vibrant colors.

All in nature is of vibrant energy in the prism of light and colors.
There shall we finally find rest, peace and tranquility all as one with all in nature.

Golden sunlight shining down upon Gaia's coat of many colors of vibrant emerald greens, blues, turquoise, yellow, red, and brown under a rainbow skye.

Moon Elves-2013

Moon Elves

The Moon Elves are also known as the Silver Elves. They are one of the more tolerant of the elfin kin towards the humans than any other of the elfin clans and their ancestors are the Eladrin Elves who are the original elves. 
In the early days of elves they lived a very peaceful life between our planet and their world, mostly living in deep forests where they made beautiful castles, living between our world and their own realm. During these times it would be very easy for them to walk through their own borders of parallel world and different planes back to our earth. 
As generation of elves continued to come to our earth though their borders of parallel planes back and forth to our world to theirs, they started to form different races of elves  one of these races was 
the Eladrin Elves then the Moon Elves.
Personality ~

The Moon elf's are very close in height to the humans, but more are a bit more slender and have a eloquence of unique beauty that no human could ever compare to the Moon elfin kin.  They have the purest pale clear skin, which often if not always has a icy blue hue to it. Their hair is commonly either  ebony black, blue, silver or white. And they usually ware it long flowing to the back of their kneecaps.    This is done with the female Moon Elf's, the male ware their hair shoulder length. 
The Moon elf's eyes are commonly green, although some are blue as

well. All Moon Elf's exhibit a characteristics of having golden flecks that speckled through their eyes in the iris of the eye. This is a special trait that not all inherited. 
Culture ~

Moon elves society is often loosely organized & few moon elves will only stay in one place for more than 1 or 2 seasons at a time. They preferred a nomadic lifestyle. The moon elves are generally comfortably living among other Eladrin elves particularly the Sun elves as well as all races of elves, gnomes, humans and halflings too. Most moon elves organize themselves into groups of a dozen extended families or so, each ruled democratically, Although often with leaders whose have more weight than anyone else within the group & are most often respected for either their age or their Martial Skill.

Whenever they live, the Moon Elves are unassuming , with homes just as humble if comfortable.
Homelands ~ 

Although nations that can properly be considered Moon elfin, still exist today - Moon Elves have fared relatively well on the whole compared to their brethren. Though the Moon Elves have not settled in vast numbers, this is less out of inability as lack of need. As the small bands that make up most of the Moon Elves, have been fairly successful at their life's for centuries. 
By and large, the Moon Elves have ignored the retreat carried out by their Sun Elf kin, preferring to either live among other races or wander the wilderness. The majority  exception to this has been the isolated city of Everska, mainly populated by Moon Elves. 
Moon Elves can be found most commonly in Daleland which is a very deep forest of Wizards. 
Their Magic ~

Moon Elves love to learn and use magic, in whatever form it takes. Both traditions of Arcane Magic & The Art of Magic. The Art of Magic is the direct manipulation of energy  - Arcane Magic is created out of manipulation of the weave which is the way magic is presents itself to being there for only for the use of the Moon Elves - It flows throughout the world touching almost every coroner or existence with exception of dead magic zones - 
Anyone who carefully duplicate the gestures and sounds  require of each of these spells, he/she can use a Arcane Magic - which is manipulating the weave, that can be done via magical writing. There is also the Divine Magic is for those Moon Elves who are highly encouraged to practiced the art of this Magic and those who partake in either are pushed to expand the knowledge or their race too. The pressure doesn't bother most Moon Elves who are out right delighted to become the Master of the Art of Divine Magic -

The Power is granted from a prayer with the Gods - Clerics, Paladins and Rangers who all use this type of magic.
Although often light hearted and at ease, The Moon Elves can leap into action if danger comes around. Like other Eladrin Elves, Moon elves make sure that nearly all of their numbers are trained to wield a weapon and also some small skills in magic.
The Goddess Mystra controls the weave which is the main medium for channeling the Arcane energies of the other Gods and the Goddess Shar has control of the Shadow Weave which flows in-between the normal weave and enables the use of the shadow Magic too.

I have love the Moon Elves just as much as I do the Drows - Although with the Moon Elves
I have a bit more of a passion because I hope in the future to share with you my readers a book that I have been writing for a number of years and it has a little bit of my favorite Magick Creature in this story... So I hope you all will stay with me on my blog until the time comes
Wendy. 
Note.. The Beautiful Images are some of my Favorites Images of the Moon Elves - 
They are not mind..

The Nixies-2013

The Nixie's
 Nixes are the water-people that inhabit all  lakes and rivers of Germany. 

Some say if they see any beautiful maidens dancing on the surface of either a lake or  nearby river, it means that someones has downed in the waterway that they are dancing on - These Nix maidens could be naked or with light clothing. In the any culture it is heartbreaking for all to lose a love one due to a downing and to have maidens dancing for joy because of this sad incident makes it that much harder to deal with. But I am sure there were some that took pleasure in seeing these maidens dancing naked or with very thin clothing on the lake or river. 
In German folklore the Nixie's are your typical mermaid. But they are very different in Germany. 
The males Nix have green teeth and wear a green hat, sitting on a rocks near the banks of rivers & lakes. They are probably scoping out the human women to see who looks to be easy prey to enchanted or trick them into coming with them down to their underwater palace, where the ladies are forced to marry these devious male Nixes and  have a lifetime of all eternity serving them.
 Interesting I thought and quite different than the Greek Merman. I did find a bit of information that

you might find interesting - The mermen are also have been depicted as having webbed fingers and toes, also they were said to have green beards and hair too.These Merman were able to breathe underwater like a fish and would rather stay in the ocean where they origins are, and they can cause the violent storms and sink passing ships. I thought this to be all very fascinating  for two reasons 1) because there really isn't much written on the merman - I had to really strength to find what I did on the Mermen 2) I had a very hard time finding any photo's that depicted the type of mermen I describe above.  I will show you the photo's I did find and you can make your own conclusions on this subject..
These are not my own photo's - They are of different fine Artist...
But I have gotten of track of the Nix, so I will continue with the Nixes counterpart the female~
Now the Female Nixes are very different than their male counterpart, the original Greek typical mermaid. 

Although there are few similarities with the female Nixes, you can usually see these beautiful young maidens on sunny days sitting on the river bank or the branches of the trees that over-hang the lakes. They are usually combing their long flowing golden hair and could be either clothed or naked. 
Nixie's Habitat ~
The Nixes live down in the waterways of lakes & rivers, in these magnificent  palace's below the deepest parts of the waterways.  Some say its an enormous castles with many other equally beautiful buildings stretched across the lakes and deepest parts of the rivers in Germany.

In the German folklore history there was a story about a young maiden who lived in a small German

village. She was the maid in the house of this small village and everything in her live there was wonderful for the exception of the food at time. She said that there were times that she would have to ask if she could have the food to not have any salt added to hers . I find this very interesting because in all legends, stories & actual true encounters of the mermaid it is always ocean - not fresh water mermaids and I have never heard of a story of a mermaid asking if she could have her food without salt. 
Another interesting fact about the female Nix - when they go on the banks of the lake & rivers they  always dressed in the finest clothes whatever period their in. This could be either the  1200's or 1900's. They are always in finest clothes that the human woman ware. The only way you might be able to tell if they were a Nix is, by the hem of their dress or some other part of their clothing that might be wet. This is the only sign that you might be able to tell if they are a Nix. But mostly they are never discover when on land. 
Now the male Nix is a very different story. They only go onto the banks of the rivers and lakes to  either enchant or trick a human female into coming back with them below the waters of the lake or rivers where they are usually force to marry and serve the male Nix for a eternity.   

I found this to be a fascinating Magick Creature. And It was interesting to find that there was a fresh

water mermaids and mermen. I also found when writing this blog,  that I couldn't find  much information on the merman.  They mostly had the info on the mermaids which I found to be unfair & curious since it is the 21th century? 
These few photo's I have found of the female Nix 
I hope you enjoy! They are from a few great Artist that I found
Enjoy... Wendy
