Product Description

Ten years ago, Tanis Helliwell, a corporate consultant who also leads tours to sacred sites, spent a summer in Ireland and was befriended by a Leprechaun. His urgent message for humanity: "Humans are harming our own environment and theirs." With charming style and humor, Ms. Helliwell recounts the instructions from the Leprechaun on how humans can interact with elemental beings, as well as revealing the fascinating relationship she developed with this delightful fellow.

According 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 on an ongoing basis.

Customer Reviews

A great summer read
I havn't quiet finished this book yet, cause I'm savoring it. But I had to give my review now so folks could enjoy this book as much as I am. Its charming and delightful. The author discusses the relationship she has developed with a real Leprechaun. Now normally, I would enjoy this type of story but give it no validity beyond fiction. But surprising, this author seems to have really experienced this. The information she recieves from her new found friends is metaphysically advanced, refreshingly new information, and feels true on a deep level. I can't wait to find out what happens next. It's a great story as well. Enjoy. Many thanks to the author, I hope your reading this. I BELIEVE YOU!

Magical trek into the faery realm
I first read this delightful book about 5 years ago while it was in its first printing (1997). I loved it the first go around, and loved it again during a second read about 2 years later. I don't know why I have waited this long to write a review of it, but here goes.

Canadian author, Helliwell, travelled to Ireland to spend a summer getting in touch with her roots. Little did she know that she would be "sharing" her home there with a leprechaun family and any other resident of the nature kingdom who chose to drop in any time they felt like it!

The results of her trip were life shaking, life affirming and life changing. She is fortunate to have been able to experience what she did over there, and we are blessed with the wisdom of that kingdom that she has passed on to us as rules for living, and how to make the connections to this realm again after so many years of separation between the human world and the elemental/devic realm.

After the first read, I had my first conscious, remembered visit in this lifetime (I am not counting childhood) from an elf who let me know she was from my "future home" 2 years from then. Sure enough, her prophecy turned out to be true as I was later lead to a home, whose backyard was chock full of nature spirits, the elves and faeries, and a resident leprechaun who was seen by more than myself.

I know that world exists. But if you can't wrap your mind around it, take this story as wonderful fictional reading.

Either way, you can't lose!

Enchanting
This book encapsulates the world of Irish elemental beings in a very well written, engaging modern tale. The author describes her unexpected adventures in Ireland one summer with many elemental beings, and one Leprechaun in particular. This Leprechaun instructed her to wait 10 years before releasing this book. Even with the wait, some readers will not be able to intellectually accept that this is a work of non-fiction. But that doesn't change the fact that this is a very engaging, clearly written, fascinating story. This book opens the door to a magical world, and thus, it is a welcome boon for those readers who are ready and willing to invite that magic into their lives.
