I've felt the presence of sprites before, and they seems to have some purpose as guides. Like an entire troupe of magical elves that behave quite like children, except hyper intelligent. I've felt them guiding me before on trips. They are usually playful, sometimes mischievous, but never cruel. Like little pranksters occasionally and playful often.
I usually feel them while on DMT, though on my very first trip I did see them popping out of a bathroom wall like fractal faces that look very similar to the Kaleidoscope Cat painting by Louis Wain. It seems many people have experienced this type of being on DMT.
Yeah I like that most every religion has a tradition of this. My experience with this kind of idea has the qualities of the Irish fae folk. Though that's possibly just my expression of the phenomena. If I were Middle Eastern I may possibly have a djinn around me, or if I had more Christian lean I might could see cherubim. Though I have had the encounter with a feminine divine angelic presence that seems to be watching over me and helping me, I haven't really met the being, I've only felt her.
I don't think I've met enough variety of entities to have the best grasp of which feelings gravitate toward me. With the exception of the sprites, which are almost always with me on a DMT trip.
