Undines

"Undines are a category of elemental beings associated with water, stemming from the alchemical writings of Paracelsus… Undines are almost invariably depicted as being female, which is consistent with the ancient Greek idea that water is a female element. They are usually found in forest pools and waterfalls, and their beautiful singing voices are sometimes heard over the sound of water… What undines lack, compared to humans, is an immortal soul. Marriage with a human shortens their lives on Earth, but earns them an immortal human soul, a view which was professed by Paracelsus." [Undine, Wikipedia]

According to Éliphas Lévi, the sovereign of the undines is Nicksa. [Lévi, Transcendental Magic, Its Doctrine and Ritual, Internet Archive, retrieved 08/04/2025]

The Hell On Earth narrator read that undines are "of the West, those who evoke the phlegmatic aspect of men, are governed under the sign of Aquarius, commanded by the cup of libations, and under the sovereignty of Necksa." [RB Hell (online text)]

Axenos the Elder used the Star of Sechmet to command the undines. [RB Sorcerer (online text)]
