Although a lot has been written in recent years about nature spirits, this book by Slovenian author Marko Pogacnik is remarkable in that almost everything described in the book is based on his own practical experiences in communicating with these beings through meditation and tuning into, plants, trees, animals and the landscape.He describes in detail the various elemental beings and their roles in maintaining the web of life, and also gives insights into related topics, such as the flow of energies within landscape, and the long-suppressed Goddess culture. His evocative images of the nature spirits draw our attention to the lost harmony at the natural world which has been disrupted by the impact of human culture.It is a tragic situation but one which can be redeemed if we are to rediscover our long-lost sensitivity to these realms and, as the author demonstrates, learn to heal the disturbed elemental world.This is a remarkable book by one of Europe's most important spiritual teachers. It provides unique and entertaining insights into the world of earth spirits and fairy folk. This is important information for the imagination and for healing the earth. -- William Bloom, Author of 'Devas, Fairies and Angels'
