'landwights' 🤔 elf's? fairies? gods? demon's? O 'landwights' 🤔 elf's? fairies? gods? demon's? Only thing I could really conclude is 'landwights' come from Old English & encompasses a group of non-supernatural (preternatural) beings. The word literally corresponds to our phrase 'spirit of the place'.. and that's when I get goosebumps. Sure lots of you know how some woodlands carry a beautiful \ enchanting \ extra fragrant \ ominous even scary feeling etc. Richer than where you came from & you inherently know - far richer than where your likely to move to next. A place your not eager to leave 😌✨ A place perhaps occupied by landwights of one shape or form? 🤔 I took this simple image just before sunset in one of those very places. Oh and a bonus note... the Anglo-Saxons recognised various types of landwights BUT they were NOT known to have thought in terms of either the 'supernatural' or of 'otherworlds', these only came into popular culture with the introduction of Christianity.. darnit goosebumps again 🤭🍂🧡🍂✨🧣🙏 Landwights! who knew? #forestmood #woodlands #tree_brilliance #forest_brilliance #raw_community #raw_alltrees #raw_allnature #visualearth #forestphoto #forest_magic #greatbritain #outdoors #treephoto #britishwoodland #divine_forest #rspb_love_nature #outdoorlife #your_trees #sciryuda #sherwoodforest #youtubevideos #youtubephotographer #youtuber #leavenotrace #bestforestmood #the_mirror_of_our_souls #druidry #pixies
There's nothing quite like walking into the middle There's nothing quite like walking into the middle of a forest on your own, an hour before sunset & shooting till it gets dark 👌😌✨ The wind stops. You can hear the days rain drops filtering down off the leaves. The undergrowth rustles as the nocturns come out to play & you find light and silence that exists nowhere else 😎🧚🙏 OK the pitch black walk out can focus the mind at times.. but the birds began to chirp this evening as though talking me through the trees 😌🍃🌳 Don't think twice... just do it! I guarantee you'll be back 🌌 #forestmood #woodlands #tree_brilliance #forest_brilliance #raw_community #raw_alltrees #raw_allnature #visualearth #forestphoto #forest_magic #greatbritain #outdoors #treephoto #britishwoodland #divine_forest #rspb_love_nature #outdoorlife #your_trees #sciryuda #sherwoodforest #youtubevideos #youtubephotographer #youtuber #leavenotrace #bestforestmood #the_mirror_of_our_souls #druidry #pixies

Did you know J.R.R.Tolkien was a professor of Angl Did you know J.R.R.Tolkien was a professor of Anglo Saxon at Oxford University? ..and that many of his fictional works were actually influenced by cultural material from the Middle Ages 🤔 He wrote of grey elves, green elves, wood elves, sea elves which connects nicely to an early 9th century manuscript that lists the 'true' elven types of the day, they were; Nimph-ae elf & muse (hardcore elves), Oreades dunn- (mountain elves), Driades uudu- (wood elves), Amadriades uaeter- (water elves), Maides feld- (field elves) & last but not least the Naides sae- (sea elves). This list reappeared 200 years later on an 11th century manuscript where the water elves had been changed to wild elves 😯 We always save the best till last don't we... I like the idea of wild elves 😎✨🍃🍄🌳🙏 #forestmood #woodlands #tree_brilliance #forest_brilliance #raw_community #raw_alltrees #raw_allnature #visualearth #forestphoto #forest_magic #greatbritain #outdoors #treephoto #britishwoodland #divine_forest #rspb_love_nature #outdoorlife #your_trees #sciryuda #sherwoodforest #youtubevideos #youtubephotographer #youtuber #leavenotrace #bestforestmood #the_mirror_of_our_souls #druidry #pixies
Ever since Druids first roamed this land, they are Ever since Druids first roamed this land, they are believed to have used two types of magic mushroom in certain ceremonies. First the original 'magic' mushroom, the one that resembles a little Elf's hat 🤨 (Liberty Cap). Second the commonn red-topped, white spotted stunner called the Fly-agaric. The shroom we usually see surrounded by fairies & pixies in tales & story books 🍄🤔 So important was this shroom that the ancient people called it "The flesh of the gods" 😉 And so, the connection begins between the Druids 🧙🏼‍♂️ the Fairies 🧚🏼‍♂️ Pixies, Elves & the people ✨🙏 All tied together by a tiny little shroom 🍄☺️🧚🏼‍♂️✨🧙🏼‍♂️🙏🍀 #forestmood #woodlands #tree_brilliance #forest_brilliance #raw_community #raw_alltrees #raw_allnature #visualearth #forestphoto #forest_magic #greatbritain #outdoors #treephoto #britishwoodland #divine_forest #rspb_love_nature #outdoorlife #your_trees #sciryuda #sherwoodforest #youtubevideos #youtubephotographer #youtuber #leavenotrace #bestforestmood #the_mirror_of_our_souls #druidry #pixies #shroom

Gaius Plinius Secundus (23-79AD) aka Pliny the Eld Gaius Plinius Secundus (23-79AD) aka Pliny the Elder wrote an encyclopedia. In it, Pliny wrote about a festival held by the Druids, on the 6th day of the moon. He described how the Druids would climb an Oak tree, cut a bough of mistletoe & sacrifice two white bulls as part of a fertility ritual 🤨 ..while in ancient England the common people worshipped Daron, goddess of the Oak. These trees have mattered for longer than records exist.. of that we can be certain 🌳✨ If your not into Druids & prefer fairy's, the Oak is considered one of the three primary magical woods.. Oak, Ash & Thorn ✨🧚‍♂️🍄🍀🙏 #forestmood #woodlands #tree_brilliance #forest_brilliance #raw_community #raw_alltrees #raw_allnature #visualearth #forestphoto #forest_magic #greatbritain #bnw_greatshots #bnw_divine #britishwoodland #divine_forest #total_bnw #raw_bnw #sciryuda #youtubevideos #youtubephotographer #youtuber #oak #bnw #bnwphotography #blackandwhite #rspb_love_nature #leavenotrace
