Skiing with Sylphs, the Elemental Spirits of the Air ❄️

We have just returned from a week in the Pyrenees mountains where amongst other things we went skiing as a family for the first time and on this day we were blessed to observe the most wonderful Sylphs in the sky, dancing for us like Angels all day long.

I learned about Sylphs just recently from this post by @in2itiveart and since then i have seen so many above our village in the South of France, but this holiday in the Pyrenees Mountains close to the Spanish boarder provided a whole new level to the creativity and love of these Beings who put on an incredible show for us which i am excited to document for you today in the form of images.

The film version of this post is coming soon.

Sylphs

Sylphs are Angelic Beings, the Elemental Spirits of the Air, said to gather around the creative ones and paint for us while cleaning the sky of anything unwanted.

For what its worth Wikipedia tells us this:

"A sylph (also called sylphid) is an air spirit stemming from the 16th-century works of Paracelsus, who describes sylphs as (invisible) beings of the air, his elementals of air." source

While i did learn about them from @intitiveart i had in fact been photographing them for at least a year already, conscious that they tend to appear after heavy chemtrailing.

This year I photographed them on many occasions, without really knowing why I felt inclined to do so. They were just beautiful! Especially when contrasted against the ugliness of the man made lines.

Sometimes I can see them in the mornings like little birds on the horizon, waiting to find where they are needed.

Most of the time they are busy, dealing with the huge amount of crap in the air.

But other times there are no visible chemtrails and the Sylphs appear to be simply playing above the mountains which are said to be their home.

Our first family skiing holiday

I know people think of skiing as a luxury sport but it is in fact much more important than this. Like it or lump we are still in an ice age (the Pleistocene Ice Age) and the warm interglacial period we have enjoyed for over 1000 years is coming to an end now, giving way to a world which will not look like the one we have grown accustomed to. It will be much colder! And skiing will become an essential skill in the winter as the easiest way to get around. Those in the tropics should technically be less affected but with the magnetic north of our Great Realm wandering further and further from its long term resting place each month (currently headed towards the coastline of central Russia) who is to say where it will end up and what effect this will have on our once tropical regions?

The only thing we can be sure of here is that nothing stays the same forever.

Long story short we want our children to get familiar with skiing while they are still young.

It was Luna's first time on skis so i stayed with her all day.

While Sabrina looked after Esteban who already had one day of experience with his school.

On the way to the slopes in the morning we were all very excited and i did not at first realise what was happening outside the car window.

Can you see the woman looking right, neck exposed with amazing hair?

I immediately started filming at this point, letting my family know that the Sylphs were with us this day.

My suspicion was confirmed later on the ski slopes when i noticed them again, this time as long upright figures stretching out of what appeared to be a circular shape.

It was difficult keeping my camera trained on the children when we were witnessing such beauty above us!

Felt as if there was a story going on and i didn't want to miss any part of it.

You will see it better in the film i am currently editing.

A new Sylph forming on the horizon here.

I jokingly refer to these heads as The Council of 12, come to watch us play.

Towards the end of the day we saw this bird in flight, presented not with a cloud but with the absence of cloud.

It reminded me of a swan and had all of us pretty stunned in the moment, though we were of course the only people looking up.

Back on the slopes Luna was doing incredibly well, picking up the basics of skiing in just a few hours.

This is a green slope and she was able to do it with ease.

She learned how to use the button lift.

She learned how to look cool in motion.

And she learned how to get totally drunk in the evening!

What can you do except join her?

Only joking ;)

In truth she did so very well, even mastering turning before the end of the day, so next time she will have poles and we are very excited to return as soon as possible.

Though i will say that a seven-year-old does not normally make such massive strides on their first day and i feel as if we owe our Spirits of the Air a little thanks for that 🙏

I will focus more on Esteban next time who is still lacking a little confidence.

To finish up this post i want to show you an example of Sylphs shot exactly one year ago on the 1st March from our land known as the pyramid garden.

I didn't know at the time what i was photographing, but like i mentioned, this didn't seem to stop me from shooting 100s of images all in the same day, fascinated by what i was looking at.

What's interesting about this sequence is the way they appear next to these blatant chemtrails which can easily be labeled as such because consumer flights crossing this region are relatively rare, never frequent enough to see four trails next to each other like this. So we can know for sure these are not commercial flights.

The sylphs appear to creep up behind the chemtrails and take them by surprise.

Enveloping and transforming them.

Exactly 14mins after the previous photo the trails were all but gone, replaced by something far more beautiful.

The beauty just kept on expanding...

...and expanding.

I realise now that when we acknowledge these Beings they are much more likely to keep playing with us. As demonstrated by our day on the slopes which saw three distinct images over the course of the afternoon, each one more exciting to us than the last! It isn't all that different to the way in which a plant will grow better for us if we spend time watching it and sending it loving thoughts.

The logical folk amongst us will no doubt make the argument these are just cirrus clouds, the highest formation in the sky, above which airplanes make their trails.

But nothing is ever as simple as we are told of course and the idea of Cloud Beings seems much more in line with my experience of reality, which has by chance included a decade of observing and filming clouds for timelapse shots, without every really understanding why i was so attracted to them.

Well, now i know.

Do please drop us a comment if you have ever seen a Sylph!

Love & Light everyone 🌱
