Drawing largely on his own experiences in communicating with nature spirits, Marko Pogacnik describes the various elemental beings and their roles in maintaining the web of life. He also offers insights into such related topics as the flow of energies within the landscape and the long-suppressed Goddess culture, offering his readers a means to rediscover our long lost sensitivity to these matters.

The beings of ancient legend, fairies, nymphs, fauns and dwarfs, step forward and tell their story: their interdependence with the human world; how in times past people knew them and used their powers to benefit the whole Earth; how now they suffer from neglect and ignorance, their realms harassed and destroyed while the Earth withers; how they still love us and forgive us. Pogacnik encourages us to find a quiet spot and meditate and converse with these beings so that we may re-establish the ancient connection between humanity and these real and powerful realms of Earth. The effort adds a fresh and vibrant quality to current environmental concerns.
