Tree Spirit Walking Stick
The Legend of the Wood Spirit Don't confuse a Wood Spirit with some made-up creature from a fairy tale. They have been around for longer than modern man, and intend to be around long after we have made our small mark on the world, and gone. Wood Spirits go by several names: Wild Man - Savage Man - Woodwose - Tree Spirit - Green Man. What ever you call it the next time you are strolling through the woods, keep an eye out for one of these elusive creatures. The Wood Spirit is said to be Lord of the Forest and Natural Things. Seeing one is said to be quite a lucky thing, and European villagers used to go out on regular hunts, hoping to find a Wood Spirit to foretell the future of their village. It is said that the forest will stand, for as long as the Wood Spirit remains to keep order. And if you are lucky enough to see one, health and good fortune will be yours. However that does not happen often. Wood Spirits would rather see than be seen. Most sightings are by children or by the pure of heart
