Like their fellow elementalssalamanders (fire)  sylphs (air)  and gnomes (earth)undines are united with  and personify  their element. First mentioned in the alchemical works of medieval botanist Paracelsus  undines appear throughout European folklore. Who are these mysterious creatures of lakes  oceans  and waterfalls?  Undines takes readers directly into the water spirits realm through stories  personal encounters  and interviews with such luminaries as Istiphul  the undine queen whose presence embodies the magical essence of the feminine. Whether seen as fact or fairy tale  Undines presents archetypal truths and insights into human nature. The powers and abilities that undines display are latent in us all and crucial to humanitys evolution (or mere survival): harmony with nature  empathy and compassion  a deep capacity to love  and a cooperative rather than combative relationship to the world. Undines will appeal broadly to readers of mythology  fantasy  and fairy tales  particularly to practitioners that work with nature spirits and elemental beingsDruids  Wiccans  pagans  and those interested in magic and mysticism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45788541091893,"sku":"ByrdShop_1556439083","price":239.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781556439087_9c7954e3-c448-4d7e-8cb9-463918ea5414.jpg?v=1784647198","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/undines-lessons-from-the-realm-of-the-water-spirits-9781556439087","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
