Fae

To all fae bearing winged, air is the element of choice. Every storm and breath of wind is their work, from the tiniest puff to the most terrifying gale.
They often take the shapes of birds, or incorporate aspects of their design into their human forms and are particularly fond of birds' wings. Many speak the language of birds and sometimes teaching human speech to the birds.
Air is a creative force, resulting in their intellectual versatility of air faeries, who work to stimulate inspiration and creativity. Fae who fly are the most evolved of the fae, having incorporating all aspects of the four elements. Wings are symbolic of air, legs of earth, their shimmering qualities of fire, and a shape shifting aspect represents water's fluidity. Added to these four, is the fifth magical element, moonlight.

Goddess of the Leprechauns

Beloved Dana or Danu Goddess of the leprechauns. Dana is a powerful Celtic Creator Goddess.
Historians say she has the most ancient roots of any Celtic deity, esteemed by the pre-Gaelic alchemists in Ireland. When the Gaelic's overtook Ireland, legend says that They became leprechauns who today inhabit Ireland. Dana’s spirit emanates wisdom and intelligence. Dana helps you connect to the Elemental kingdom, especially the leprechauns. 

She is also referenced in Hindu mythology. Her name means “swift flowing” in Irish and rivers are named after her. She is mainly seen as a river goddess, and often as Mother Earth. She represents the divine feminine and also fertility.
This multi-faceted aspect of the Divine Feminine is experienced as the air we breathe, as the river that nourishes all of life, as the bounty and abundance of earth and as the cosmic energy of universal wisdom.
A Triple Goddess, which means she is able to take the form of the Maiden, the Mother or the Crone, and a Divine Lady who is the essence of the earth, the air and the essence of water, Danu was also able to transform herself into any creature, much like the gods of Greek and Roman mythology. Danu is able to embody the form/energy suited to the situation. Here she brings the power of versatility and teaches us to honor and respect diversity within ourselves and within others and reminds us to honor each stage of our physical life. Some of Danu’s symbols include holy stones, horses – particularly mares, seagulls, fish, amber, gold, royalty/empress, rivers, sea, flowing water, air, wind, earth, moon, keys and crowns.
