THE FOREST OF MYSTERIES 〰️ 🌲🦊🌲🐺🌲🍄🏰🍄🌲🦔🌲🐿🌲 🦇🌲🕸️🌲🕷️🌲💀🌲🕷️🌲🕸️🌲🦇 Strange and unexplained things happen in the forest of mysteries, People go in and never come out again... Pirates are said to have buried treasure in there but no one wants it. It's a cursed place, a dangerous place. Strange sounds can be from the edge of the forest during the day, even stranger things can be heard at night. No one in their right mind goes near the place at night. The townfolk talk of demon's, ghouls, vampires and werewolves but I reckon it's probably something much worse. 🌲🐉🌲🧛🌲👹🌲👾🌲👹🌲🧛🌲🐉 A warning from the innkeeper a dark fairytale story by Sam Stormborn Ormandy © copyright 2019.

HOME OF THE DRYADS 〰️ 🌲🦊🌲🐺🌲🍄🏰🍄🌲🦔🌲🐿🌲 I imagine that Dryads like to blend in, they're as quiet as a tree because they're part tree and part of the forest so it's really hard to find them, yet they're everywhere. .

GUARDIAN OF THE FOREST 〰️ 🌲🦔🌾🦌🌾🌲🍄🏰🍄🌲🌾🦊🌾🐺🌲 Do not be afraid, he will not harm you unless you harm the forest or its magical creatures and he considers all creatures to be magical.  . Although he appears solid, he is said to actually be a spirit. It's said of his origins that he was originally a man who came to the enchanted forest and fell in love with it. He befriended the magical creatures of the forest and became their friend. One of his friends was a beautiful and majestic stag, one day he found his stag friend dead and it broke heart. He died whilst laying over the stags body and when he died the magic of the forest made their bodies become one. He was reborn as a semi corporeal immortal spirit whose purpose is to protect the enchanted forest. . 🌲🦔🌾🦌🌾🌲🍄🏰🍄🌲🌾🦊🌾🐺🌲 ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Photo © copyright 2019 samstormborn ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● #EnchantedForest #Enchanted #TheEnchantedForest #FairyForest #MagicForest #FairytalePhotography #FairytaleForest #Fairytale #Eartheeria #OnceUponATime  #StorytellingPhotography #ConceptualPhotography #Forest_of_Twinkling_Fireflies #MythicalCreatures #MagicalCreatures #Leshii #Leshy #Folklore #Mythology #Pagan #Witchcraft #Wizardry https://www.instagram.com/p/BtP1_NSF9eV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e42yi6zn4ytv

Forest of the Spriggan 〰️ 🦌🍃🌿🌲🍄🏰🍄🌲🌿🍃🐿 Spriggans live in this part of the Enchanted Forest. If you look closely your might be able to see one! . Spriggans are a legendary creature known from Cornish faery lore. Spriggans are particularly associated with West Penwith in Cornwall. According to The English Dialect Dictionary (1905), spriggans were apparently related to the trolls of Scandinavia. Spriggans were depicted as grotesquely ugly, wizened old men with large child-like heads. They were said to be found at old ruins, cairns, and barrows guarding buried treasure. Although small, they were usually considered to be the ghosts of giants, with the ability to swell to enormous size. They were also said to act as fairy bodyguards. . Spriggans were notorious for their unpleasant dispositions, and delighted in working mischief against those who offended them. They raised sudden whirlwinds to terrify travellers, sent storms to blight crops, and sometimes stole away mortal children, leaving their ugly changelings in their place. They were blamed if a house was robbed or a building collapsed, or if cattle were stolen. In one story, an old woman got the better of a band of spriggans by turning her clothing inside-out (turning clothing supposedly being as effective as holy water or iron in repelling fairies) to gain their loot. They were sometimes associated with the underground spirits called knockers who could often be heard working in tin mines. ~ Info via Wikipedia article about Spriggans .
