Based on knowledge attained through his highly-trained clairvoyance, Rudolf Steiner contends that folk traditions regarding nature spirits are based on spiritual reality. He describes how people possessed a natural spiritual vision in ancient times, enabling them to commune with nature spirits. These entities - which are also referred to as elemental beings - became immortalised as fairies and gnomes in myth, legend and children's stories.Today, says Steiner, the instinctive understanding that humanity once had for these elemental beings should be transformed into clear scientific knowledge. He even asserts that humanity will not be able to reconnect with the spiritual world if it cannot develop a new relationship to the elementals. The nature spirits themselves want to be of great assistance to us, acting as 'emissaries of higher divine spiritual beings'.

About Rudolf Steiner
Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) called his spiritual philosophy 'anthroposophy' meaning 'wisdom of the human being'. As a highly developed seer he based his work on direct knowledge and perception of spiritual dimensions. He initiated a modern and universal 'science of spirit' accessible to anyone willing to exercise clear and unprejudiced thinking.From his spiritual investigations Steiner provided suggestions for the renewal of many activities including education (both general and special) agriculture medicine economics architecture science philosophy religion and the arts. Today there are thousands of schools clinics farms and other organizations involved in practical work based on his principles. His many published works feature his research into the spiritual nature of the human being the evolution of the world and humanity and methods of personal development. Steiner wrote some 30 books and delivered over 6000 lectures across Europe. In 1924 he founded the General Anthroposophical Society which today has branches throughout the world.
