THE HOME OF A WORLD OF NATURE SPIRITS - NATURPARK BERGSTASSE - ODENWALD FOREST NEAR HESSELBACH, GERMANY

I found this forest through a friend who told me the energy was wonderful and it was the home of nature spirits. My first visit confirmed a strong energy, but I did not have my camera with me and decided to return alone. Many of the photos on the first visit seemed to have a presence. Lots of tree stumps with eyes, etc. This was in the fall of 2006. As the weather turned warmer I returned to this forest with my camera. This forest is truely a Sacred Location and needs to be respected and cared for as such.

Autumn Forest

Two more companions are out for a stroll. They stop and poise for the camera before continuing their journey.

TRAVELING COMPANIONS

There is a nurturing quality to this photo. It seems that one "Mother" mushroom is protecting her "Kinder."

FOREST PATH

The forest path seems to capture the beauty and energy of the forest. There is a magical quality to the energy of this forest. As if a tremendous power is contained within its midst. This is reflected in the way energies seem to manifest as "living" beings along the forest path. You could make friends with some of these creatura. Use the imagination to make a connection to the natural world. What have you got to lose?

These rocks appeared to be home to the nature spirits of the earth. We seemed to have companions as we viewed their neighborhood. I was disturbed upon revisiting the forest 6 months later to find the neighborhood to have been damaged due to falling trees. I couldn't find the stones again and worried at their disappearance. (A week after writing this last sentence, I returned to the forest. I had decided to meditate somewhere in the vicinity of these stones. I was surprised to find them fully in tact, just as I had first seen them. This was surprising to me because I had recently visited the same site and could not find them. Hum....

THE EYES HAVE IT. Be alert, you are being watched. The earth is alive.

On my visit to the forest in the Spring in was a very sunny day and the spirits of the land appeared to be a bit less cautious and more willing to be photographed. Some even smiled for the camera.

CAMOFLAUGE

The art of disguise seems to be masters by this little being. However his eyes are a give away.

SHAMAN ENERGY FILLS THIS SPACE.

KINDER FOREST with PROTECTION

Butterfly appears in the photo near the homes of stone, the forest neighborhood shown in the first photo. Butterfly comes to me often as a confirmation of my spiritual journey and that this is indeed a sacred experience.
