Summer with the LeprechaunsSummer with the LeprechaunsAccording to the Leprechaun, members of the elemental race are now seeking to link with and become co-creators with committed human beings who have (or wish to develop) both belief in the elemental kingdom and the reverent desire to assist nature in the healing of the earth. This book introduces humans to the means by which we can meet and work with elementals, individually, on an ongoing basis.

"I'm what you humans call a leprechaun, and my study is humans," he commenced, with an Irish lilt in his voice. "I'm being tested on my knowledge of humans, and this summer is critical...."
"I've been studying humans for about a hundred of your years and I'm one of the first elementals to be engaged in this. Elementals are different from humans in that we're born into a caste and stay in it for our entire lives.

Humans have free will, which is necessary for all creators, and you're the only race on this planet, save the people of the water, that has this."

I realized that this three-dimensional communication of hearing, seeing, and feeling was giving me a much fuller and more rapid understanding than was normal for humans. As I listened, I also began to realize that in my everyday existence I received information from my environment on many dimensions and that how the leprechaun communicated was in some ways more familiar to me than the way I communicated with my fellow-humans. The leprechaun seemed to sense that his communication had triggered these thoughts and paused for a few moments before continuing....
