Elementals
Air is the element of intellect and creativity. Air is the source of all life energy. It is essential to our existance. Their work is the sweet scent in the air. They can serve as temporary guardian angels and also help children who have just passed over. A sylph is assigned to each of us and aid us in our mental body and mental development. They help stimulate new knowledge and inspiration.
Too much connection with air spirits or elements can make for an overactive mind that must be controlled and guided. It can make one dabble. It can also make the nervous system highly active. Too little of a connection with creatures of this realm, may present itself with impaired perceptions and a lack of common sense. It can also cause a weak nervous system.

Air Gods
BY ANGELLA BILODEAU
Enlil: This god was next in rank to the Sumerian sky god Au and sometimes thought to be his son. Enlil was the god of the air, who embodied energy and force rather than the calm of divine authority. His name means "lord of the wind", and he was reguarded as a benevolent as well as destructive god. He was connected with a flood myth. For thousands of years Mankind was making a lot of noise and the problem was fixed from time to time. Yet there came a time when Enlil could not take it anymore and caused a flood to break out. Water-god Enki predicted this and helped a man named Atrahasis by warning him about it. Atrahasis built a ship and took his family and animals abroad whom of all lived through the epidemic.
Hermes: Is also known as Mercury in Latin. His father was Zeus and mother was a Naiad, Maia daughter of Atlas. Heald to the gods. In Arcadia, the old seat of his worship, Hermes was reguarded as a god who bestowed the blessing of fertility on the pastures and herds, and who was happiest spending his time among shepards and dallying with Nymphs, by whom he had numberless children, including Pan and Daphnis. Strenghth of voice and excellence of memory were supposed to be derived from him in his capacity of hearld. The god of sleep and of dreams; depicted with wings on his feet and later on on a cap on his head.
Shu: The ancient Egyptian god of sunlight and air. In the creation myth, he and Tefnut (moisture), his sister and wife, were the first divine couple created by Atum.They in turn gave birth to the Earth god Geb and the sky goddess NUT. Shu supported the sky with his arms.
Thoth: Egyptian mythology, the divine scribe who recorded weighing of souls when they entered the underworld. He was also associated with the moon, and worshipped as the patron of learning and the master of inventions. Connected with the magical arts.
Vayu:The Hindu god of the wind. In the Rig Veda, the ancient collection of hymns, he is associated with Indra, the god of the firmament. Vayu is often described as Indra's charioteer. His other names are Sadagata (ever-moving) and Gandhavaha (bearer of perfumes).
Zeus:
God of the heavens in Greek myth. One of the 12 Olympians. Son of Kronos
and Rhea. Brother to Poseidon (Lord of the Sea), HAdes (lord of the Underworld),
