Nature Spirits, Spirit Guides, and Ghosts: How to Talk with and Photograph Beings of Other Realms

by Atala Dorothy Toy

Boulders laugh, trees talk, and practically each patch of ground has meaning, in Atala Toy's experience. Faeries, angels, ghosts, orbs, and spirits of place are just some of the life forms with which she helps us attune-and shows us how to record their image! Readers will cherish her rare combination of esoteric wisdom and practical guidance. With substantive clarity, she explains time travel, portals, dowsing, negative and positive vortexes, balls of energy known as merkabahs, ley lines, and orbs-the plasma of some life form visible to human eyes or to cameras, many of which are nature spirits who enjoy being around happy energy and so are often seen at parties and spiritual gatherings. A professional interdimensional communicator, Atala is up to the minute in her understanding of the emerging field of spiritual sciences and the correlations between modern physics and ancient metaphysical traditions that perceive the oneness of all nature. We all communicate interdimensionally every day, she says. We just don't know it, and so we lose out on the many ways to receive help from the other life forms who share our space. Drawing on her own and her clients' experiences, she teaches through colorful stories and her own powerful photographs. Titles include "The Ghost Who Washed Dishes," "The Haunted Hotel," "The Guardian of the Spring," "The Horse Who Knew More Than His Owners," "The Jilted House," "The Stranded Gnome," "The Moss Faery," "The Owl on Turtle Island," and "The Balsam Who Loved the Birch." She also includes lessons explaining the energetic principles of the situation; simple exercises for mastering the principle contained in the story; and tips for photographing other life forms using technology available to anyone, such as digital or even cell phone cameras.
By entering the fascinating realm of this book, the reader will join the growing number of people aware of subtle energy and able to see through the veils between dimensions. Not only is this possibility personally enriching, it serves a broader purpose as well. Needless to say, the planet and everything on it is at a critical juncture. In damaging the earth, we have damaged the nature beings' home as well. It is therefore strongly in their interest to assist us in transforming the earth into something better. This book shows us how to learn from and enjoy them in a most delightful way

Fascinating, love the images, but wish there was more practical ‘how-to’ instead of mentions of, ‘oh, I just shifted my frequency’... Will need to read her first book to clarify.

I really can't reccomend this book. I realize this as an esoteric topic, but I believe the author relied nearly exclusively on New Age Specific jargon to talk about her subject. I am approaching this subject from a bassis in Witchcraft, Magick, and Occult study. Her terms were unfamiliar to me, as I believe they might be to many people who don't have a New Age reading background.
I believe she could have talked about her experiences from a neutral experiencal viewpoint, which would have been more accessible to a larger audience, or indicated her point of access in the title.

I don't know what I was expecting when I picked this book up to read. But what I actually got was no where near that expectation. I'm sure there is an audience for this novel, and I hope they enjoyed it. But I just did not.

This is one of those books that stays with you long after you’ve finished it. Even though it’s been a few years since I read it, the impact hasn’t faded at all.
Nature Spirits, Spirit Guides, and Ghosts gave language to experiences and sensations I had always felt but never quite knew how to describe. Reading it felt less like learning something new and more like remembering something familiar. After finishing it, a lot of things about myself and how I experience the world simply made more sense.
The idea of connecting with nature, elements, animals, and the energetic “atmosphere” of places deeply resonated with me. The way the book explores sensing and understanding different energies mirrored experiences I’ve had my whole life, walking into certain places and feeling something immediately, or sensing meaning and presence in nature beyond words. It was strangely comforting to see those feelings articulated so clearly.
This book is especially meaningful for people who have always felt a natural connection to animals, landscapes, or specific locations, and who are curious to explore that sensitivity further. That said, it can feel quite abstract if you’ve never experienced energy in this way yourself, it’s less of a step-by-step manual and more of a shared understanding.
Overall, this is a thoughtful, validating read that feels like an invitation rather than an instruction. If you’ve ever felt attuned to the unseen layers of the world and struggled to explain why, this book might feel like coming home.

What a great read! So enjoyable, and practical at the same time! Atala Toy shares stories from her life and practices, applies lessons and then gives tips on how to property prepare for and photograph in each given situation. Definitely a page turner, this book is written for all levels of knowledge and experience. I look forward to her further works on this topic.
