Aertherials: people who believe in uplifting (heavenly, light, airy) creativity. The Aertherial Movement is a very small but growing group of poets and creative artists who go by the name of the Aertherials, because they believe in the common goal of uplifting with their creativity, or else using the creativity to reach a more enlightened state. The movement was encapsulated by a declaration of the definitions of Aertheriality (a variation on ethereal with more specific and implied meanings) that has been posted online at . "Aertherial" could be said to be a portmanteau of the words "art," "air," and "ethereal".
The original author has gone by the simple pen name of "An Aertherial" for the piece. The definition was completed in May of 2003. There have also been (at least) two known comb bound anthologies (no longer in print) off of a small self published press that have used the name "The Aertherials" as a group name for the authorship, which were Naked Poetry (2003) and Midnight Dance / Pathos (2004).
