Geoffrey Hodson books on clairvoyance
Ranked #3,698 in Culture & Society, #78,844 overall
He served with distinction in the British Army as an Officer during the First World War, which experience seems to have prompted him to spend his life attempting to eradicate the causes of wars and suffering through his teachings and insights.
He was the author over fifty books on psychic powers, Theosophy, Spiritualism, mysticism, fairies, angels, meditation, clairvoyance, health and disease. On this page you will find the ones still in print.
He also wrote over two hundred articles and held radio talks. He traveled the world extensively lecturing for The Theosophical Society.
Clairvoyant Investigations
In other words: the book to start with if you want to get to know his work.
Published after Hodson's death, including an introduction by one of the better theosophical teachers today: Joy Mills.
Except the World Mother picture, the images on this page come from this book. It contains many more such illustrations of nature spirits and devas.

I guess people asked the wrong questions. That sort of thing is always easier to see in hindsight.
World Maha Deva
On terminology: so what's a Maha Deva?
Maha Deva. The Sanskrit word Maha means Great (hence Mahatma: great teacher). So a Maha Deva is a Great Deva, a great nature spirit. This is why the spirit of the earth is called a Maha Deva.
Fairies at Work and Play
This book is really a useful little handbook for anyone wanting insight into the deva realm. Fairies, gnomes, undines, sylphs and other nature spirits are described here in a convincing manner from actual attunement. This work of clairvoyant observation by the author led to his later work including the well-known "The Kingdom of the Gods" which is now a classic in this field.
The carefully recorded observations by the author were all done in England in the early 1920s. There is homeliness about the way these stories are related. The author was deeply committed to learning about the ways of the small creatures. As far as freshness and authentic, clear observation I rate this small book alongside Dora van Gelder's very similar book written also in the 1920s. There are many books on nature spirits but few better than this for detail and understanding. I just wish it had colour pictures like "Kingdom of the Gods", as maybe then more folks would have found this book to appreciate it as I have.

On pictures of nature spirits and devas
However, I want to stress that the general opinion about such pictures among those who's studied occultism and clairvoyance seriously is the following:
Any clairvoyant observation is colored by the expectations of the person seeing them.
In Hodson's time abstract art had hardly been invented. In fact: the earliest abstract paintings were influenced by clairvoyant observations by Leadbeater and Besant. Most of Hodson's sketches and observations remain figurative. That is reasonable: in order to depict something you think has consciousness, you would give it a face. But without a body like ours (a fern-spirit has a fern for a body after all), what use is a face?People who've depicted nature spirits more recently have sometimes used semi-abstract line drawings to make it clear that these beings 'look' nothing like things we know in the physical world.
World Mother
Brotherhood of Angels and Of Men
A professed clairvoyant, Geoffrey Hodson believes the existence of angels to be real and tangible beings. The information contained in this volume was clairvoyantly received daily during a holiday visit to a remote English valley, and the author has given here the first part of teachings which continue whenever he can escape from his work in London to the peace and quiet to which are essential for their reception.

Call to the Heights
On the spiritual path

I'll go on record and say that I've talked to plants - in fact urged one to bloom or risk being killed by the humans on the estate. So yes, I do believe plants have consciousness.

No, I gave up believing in fairy tales a long time ago.
