5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books about working with the Devic realm, January 4, 2001

This review is from: Nature Spirits & Elemental Beings (Paperback)

Other than Machaelle Small Wright's books, this is one of the very best descriptions of one person's insight into the elemental world that surrounds and supports us. I had the great privilege of working with Marko Pogacnik at Findhorn last August and can say with complete confidence that he is a very clear and humble being. Fluent in Slovenian and German, English is not his first language. That, and the fact that the dimensions of realities he describes do not lend themselves easily to words, may be why some reviewers feel his language seems unclear at times. I had exactly the opposite reaction! Here, at last, is an author who is putting into words some of the experiences I have had and didn't know quite how to describe. For those of you who are interested in connecting with the devic realm, read this book. Those interested in Earth Healing should read Marko's latest book, Earth Changes, Human Destiny. For those sensitive individuals on our planet who are already sensing enormous shifts, it will explain a lot and offers suggestions as to how we each, as individuals, may participate consciouly in the transformational process now under way.

5.0 out of 5 stars An impressive view into the world of nature beings, April 2, 2001

By 

Adam Pratter (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nature Spirits & Elemental Beings (Paperback)

The book is written by a lithopuncturist from eastern Europe. The book has been translated into English and what an amazing treat!!! The book is a patchwork of experiences had by Pogacnik while on many of his lithopuncture projects and conferences in Europe. This makes it a bit unorganized, almost like reading journal entries, and I believe that because of it being a translated work at some points it was difficult to directly translate parts which resulted in some ideas being very difficult to communicate, so you may have to read a paragraph a few times to get the gist of it. However, if one is willing to put these issues aside it is defiantly worth it. A very comprehensive view of different types of elementals and the structure or hierarchy which exists. Pogacnik's experiences and insights are profound into the workings of the natural world and I found the material to be invaluable, especially seen through someone form a different culture. He claims in this book that what he `perceives' is tainted in a way by his own consciousness of his culture and upbringing and that though the technical aspects of the nature beings he communicated with are universal the actual appearance will vary from country to country. Parts of the book can get a bit too heavy, such as the chapter on ones personal elemental, but I recommend it for the core material. Pogacnik is able to illuminate the reasons and background as to why a place may feel so special or sacred and portrays the complex interactions of these nature spirits and how they maintain these scared places. If you feel connected to nature in anyway and wish to learn about furthering your experience more, this book is for you!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive book about elementals, March 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Nature Spirits & Elemental Beings (Paperback)

This book contains a comprehensive education about elemental beings. Call them what you will: elementals, fae folk, or the devic realm, this book introduces the various beings in connection with the author's work in earth healing. Truly fascinating. Since the author's native language is not English, and this is such a comprehensive tome, this may not be the best book for an introduction to elementals (Try 'Summer with the Leprechauns' first.) But don't forget about Pogacnik's books for further study.
