now I'm sad I didn't go to a Steiner school - I like fairies.
You would've had gnomes too, from the looks of the Steiner says page.
These lower animal orders only become complete, as it were, through the fact that gnomes exist... It would be absolutely impossible for us to have a brain, if the world were not so ordered that gnomes and undines can exist.
For some reason the 'read in full context' wasn't working, but I don't see how it could explain that. And a quick google search revealed it does
apparently relate to a toy-type object, either a sort of malevolent elf-on-the-self or a benevolent spiritual plaything.
