UNDINES

Water elementals, aquatic nature spirits, "water babes," nymphs or nereids, resembling human beings, but of a different "wavelength." It is said that an undine can acquire a soul by being impregnated by a human male. To attune yourself to the undines, says Crowley, "Be flexible and attentive to images, but avoid idleness and changeability." From Latin unda, "water wave," Sanskrit uda'n, "water." The other root is represented by Latin aqua, Gothic aha, Persian ab and was possibly connected to Greek nephos, nymphe.

Nymphs: Spiritual - Theosophy Dictionary on Amaltheia, Amalthea

Amaltheia, Amalthea (Greek) In Greek mythology a nymph who cared for the infant Zeus when his mother Rhea concealed him in a cave in Crete to keep him from being devoured by his father Kronos. Another legend credits the nymphs Ida and Adrastea with his care, but names the goat which suckled him Amaltheia.

 

Amaltheia is associated with the cornucopis, the broken-off horn of the goat. As the horn of Amaltheia it became a symbol of inexhaustible abundance and was adopted as a favored attribute by various divinities, among them Hermes, Demeter, Gaia, Pluto, and Cybele.

 

In Roman legend, Amalthea is the Sibyl, the Cumaean, who offered the Sibylline Books to Tarquin.

Urvasi originated in teachings connected with the human buddhi principle, the center and source or mother of all spiritual and intellectual beauty in the human constitution; cosmically therefore Urvasi is mahabuddhi (cosmic buddhi).
