Deva, Shoten Zenjin , Angels, Fairies , Nature Spirits , Gods (Major and Minor), these are some of many names for the/those consciousness who are the guides, guardians, conscious mind and spirit , messengers, beings who oversee and implement the Cosmic/Divine order /plan .One Definition or explanation of Deva is as protective forces of the universe, as builders of the movement of life energy from Spirit and energy into Form and Physical and of the return or pulsing of the form into spirit.
The concept of Nature- Spirit is that everything is alive and has consciousness. Everything is one entity and all beings , things, feelings, experiences, are aspects or parts of that One Unified Isness. Those apparent parts are also each individual consciousness and beings whether of physical, emotional, mental or spiritual substance.

You may find the term Angel and Deva to be used somewhat interchangeably.
Others interpret Angels as being non Physical beings who oversee the evolution and communication of Humankind and their relationship with the Divine or Unified Essence (God/dess) and Deva as being non Physical beings which oversee the evolution and communication of all other entities (including crystals as well as plants ,animals , Elements, weather systems etc.) with the Divine and with humankind and all other beings. When you accept everything as being facets of One Entirety of consciousness, the distinction between Angel and Deva may be somewhat arbitrary.
The traditional interpretation of the Devic beings or intelligence's of nonphysical planes has been expressed in a very hierarchical way. A contemporary understanding is that such hierarchy is more a matter of an ordering for our limited understanding in body than a true matter of absolute rank. In Part, this is because each Devic aspect or entity may at any time be merged with the whole and can also be presenting as an individual or group of conscious entities, So that there may be Deva of plants ,Deva of specific plants , say a Strawberry plant Deva but you may also encounter a strawberry leaf Deva, a Strawberry flower deva and a Strawberry fruit deva or even a strawberry root deva.
These may just be seen as the aspect that provides the template for the physical form of each part but may also give you specific information about the meanings and purposes of the part of the plant or the whole plant or of plants of that kind. Everything , every aspect of everything, even thought and emotions can be said to have Deva or awareness.
Some people see or sense Deva in a mental image or even in the outside environment .
The form seen is usually taken from the mind of the viewer and the collective mind/record to assist in the communication. The nearest to an actual form of most deva would probably the glowing orbs or ribbons of light that are sometimes sensed.Peggy Jentoft
