Produktbeschreibung

"Forest Guardians" explores the profound, enduring relationship between humanity and forests, revealing how trees and their guardian spirits are deeply embedded in mythology, religion, and literature across cultures.
The book examines the veneration of sacred trees and the prevalence of mystical forests, highlighting how these elements reflect our innate connection to the natural world.
Consider, for example, how certain tree species like the oak, yew, and banyan, recur as symbols of power, life, and death in diverse mythologies, or how forests often serve as liminal spaces in folklore, where characters undergo transformative experiences.
The book progresses from the origins of sacred groves and forest spirits in ancient religions to focused explorations of specific tree symbolism, recurring forest motifs, and the diverse forms of forest guardians.
"Forest Guardians" uniquely weaves together mythological, religious, historical, and ecological perspectives, supported by primary sources like ancient texts and folklore, alongside modern scholarship.
This approach illuminates the urgent need to re-evaluate our relationship with these essential ecosystems, connecting ancient beliefs with contemporary environmental ethics and conservation, especially in light of ongoing deforestation and climate change.
