Draft:Forest Spirits



Forest spirits (also known as woodland spirits or nature spirits) are supernatural entities believed to inhabit forests and other natural environments. Often viewed as guardians of the forests as well as protectors of the animals and plants within them, some cultures believe forest spirits are benevolent and may help guide travelers or offer protection; in others, they are more fearsome, warning intruders to stay away or punishing those who disrespect nature. The concept of forest spirits is deeply rooted in the spiritual traditions of ancient and indigenous cultures.[1][2]
