The Legend of the Wood Spirit....

On calm days, there is a sense of peace and tranquility in the forest. On days when storms are brewing and winds are blowing, the trees make sounds of moaning and sighing as though voices can be heard from spirits within. For centuries people believed the forests to be filled with mystical spirits.

They also believed that the tree spirits were the most powerful of all spirits and were good and wise & would protect them from evil. So before venturing into the woods, they would knock the tree ‘knock on Wood’ to wake the sleeping spirit for protection.

Catching a glimpse of one of these elusive creatures is said to be a lucky thing, for if you are fortunate enough to actually see one, your health, happiness and good fortune are guaranteed.

Carving spirit images into wood houses appease the spirits and are often given as gifts. The wood spirit house should be given a special place within the garden or home in order for it’s presence to bring wisdom, prosperity, humor, good health & good luck to all that live there.

Any house which is home to a hand carved wood spirit will stand protected & be blessed.
