- For other uses of "Deva", see Deva.
A Deva in the New Age movement refers to any of the spiritual forces or beings behind nature. According to Theosophists like Leadbeater, Devas represent a separate evolution to that of humanity. The concept of Devas as nature-spirits derives from the writings of the Theosophist Geoffrey Hodson
In the Findhorn material, the term refers to archetypal spiritual intelligences behind species, in other words the group soul of a species. But elsewhere the term is used to designate any elemental or nature spirit, the equivalent of fairies.
