Sylphs are wonderful magical allies you can turn to in these times, when the world is upside down and you need immediate information to make quick decisions. Sylphs are the magical elementals associated with the Air element.

Sylphs are living things made of pure air and they specialize in communication and knowledge. That makes them very useful to have on hand at this time.

More about magical sylphs

A sylph is a living thing, pure air, 3 to 18 inches tall, twisted in shape, and can be seen in swirling dust or cigarette smoke. They are clumsy and curious like young kittens, and hang out with people a lot. Be on the lookout for sylphs around light objects like tinsel on a Christmas tree. You may also experience them as a slight rub on your face. They are very fast, they like to go around and move in spirals.

Sylphs love to communicate. They are very fast with short attention spans, so you have to be in their state to chat with them. It is better to communicate with the mind because the spoken word is too slow. When traveling, you can talk to sylphs to get road and weather reports.

A magical ritual to help you communicate with sylphs

So how do you communicate with a sylph? It’s pretty straightforward. You follow a magical ritual similar to calling the angels. That’s how:

1. Sit quietly and close your eyes, if possible.

2. Think about the words: “I request the help of a sylph to [state your reason]. “

3. Wait a second and the sylph will be there, although you may not be able to see it.

4. Quickly communicate your request with a thought, such as “I need a weather report for the next 50 miles on this road. Thanks for your help.” Recognition prior to helping the sylph is key.

5. Wait a few more seconds. The sylph will quickly come back with your answer. The answer will be a thought in your mind, possibly in your own voice. Don’t rule it out, trust it.

6. Thank the sylph again for her help.

The key to communicating with sylphs is to use your mind rather than spoken words to communicate. Sylphs are fleeting creatures with short attention spans. Your mind communicates much faster than your mouth, so “think” about your requests when communicating with sylphs.

As always, appreciation is key when working with powers and beings in magical rituals. Always thank the sylph after making your request and after receiving her response. The more appreciation you express, the better the results of your magic ritual will be.

It can also communicate with other elementals associated with fire, water, and earth. They are salamanders, undines and gnomes. Communication methods are different and each has a different purpose. They are all useful to have as magical allies.
