Elemental beings did not exist for me prior to reading this book. I could conceive of the possibility of their existence and that clairvoyant people could perceive them. (How else did they get into all those fairy tales?) I could imagine that a person with supersensitive abilities might meet gnomes and elves in the forest but that such an unbelievable wealth and diversity of ensouled beings exist inside and around us, this is truly overwhelming. * Christiane Flocken, M.D. (alternative medicine) and psychotherapist * Answering the Call of the Elementals touched me deeply. Besides its message, I greatly appreciate the openness and precision with which the author describes his spiritual experiences. * Helmut Thomas, Waldorf teacher * It is a little miracle how Thomas Mayer manages to assuage my critical mind right from the beginning of the book. I was drawn into a story that is entertaining and gives incredible joy. This little miracle is possible because Thomas Mayer presents himself purely as himself. His sentences are not overly complex, they are precise, without pretense, and full of flashes of humor not explicitly intended. * Enno Schmidt, artist, writer, and civil rights activist * I devoured Answering the Call of the Elementals. I was deeply moved by Mayer's work, his authenticity, and the matter-of-fact way with which he gives us so much important information in the finest and clearest way. This book contains so many treasures to take away. * Seraina Seyffer, therapist * This book is fantastic! I just finished reading it and have already gifted it to three people. It is wonderfully written with descriptions of how to come into contact with and perceive the elementals. Again and again I noticed while reading how I was totally filled with warmth, light, and strength. Moreover, I have for the first time understood the necessity of caring for the elementals, because in the end it is synonymous with caring for the earth and its beings. * Claudine Nierth, spokesperson for the board for More Democracy *
