The Forest's Memory Keeper
The forest is old and full of stories. The hedgehog's child, the rabbit's bride, the sleeping princess, the foolish son, the faithful sister, the poisoned apple — every traveler passing through the forest weaves their thread of stories into the web of magic. The safekeeping of all these stories is entrusted to the Elder, the keeper of the forest's memory. This ancient yew has seen three thousand winters and years. With age came the ability to see the bigger picture with calm contemplation and deep understanding. The Elder welcomes you and invites you to stay awhile. Ask him to tell the story you would like to hear and then share your own to replenish the living library of knowledge.
Historical Perspective and Sacred Stories
The Elder reminds us that in difficult times, historical perspective brings comfort, while mythological or religious perspectives help us in our search for life's meaning. Stories, legends, and knowledge have been passed down from generation to generation and are a vital part of human heritage.
