Modern religious movements would have us believe there is one deity responsible for the order and maintenance of existence. However, given the immense size of the Universe, the variety of life forms, and the vastness of the dimensions beyond, there is in fact a complex division of labour - managed of course by the variety of Gods and Goddesses; who in turn are supported in their work by powerful smaller beings - the Sprites, for example. The Sprites, too, have their days of celebration. 

Sea Sprites are between 12 and 18 inches in height, have thin bodies and generally appear naked. They are neither male nor female, so far as we can tell, for they have no genitalia or breasts. They do have hair, short and wavy and generally brown in colour, and big turquoise-coloured eyes.

When last we honoured them they appeared in a circle floating in the air above the sea, moving slightly. Their voices sounded thin and they were giggling.

"How kind, how kind of you to honour us. We do no work today, just have fun. How kind you are. How kind." And lots more giggling.

Festival of the Sea Sprites: 29th June
