LEGEND OF THE WOOD
SPIRITS
The forest is a
peaceful place when the wind is still. As the wind
blows, trees moan and sigh as if the woods have a life and spirit of
it's own.
Long ago people
believed the forests to be filled with mystical Wood Spirits and
that those who dared to enter would earn the Spirit's wrath. Wise
travelers assured their safety by carving a Wood Spirit image on
their walking staffs to appease the Spirits and protect them on
their long journeys. Those
beliefs have survived through the ages in one form or another. Knock
on wood anyone?
Artisans have been
carving Wood Spirits by hand for hundreds of years, handing down the
tradition from one generation to the next. Although the
Spirits have long been quieted, the charming tradition of the carved
Wood Spirit Walking Stick lives on.
We've captured the
essence of the Wood Spirit in our exquisitely hand crafted Walking Sticks and hope they will
provide you safe passage in your travels.
We have several models of
Wood Spirit Sticks ranging from rustic sticks carved from natural
Minnesota Diamond Willow & New Hampshire hardwoods, to highly
finished Walking Sticks made of commercially available hardwoods.
A variety of custom options are available to make your Walking Stick
unique.
Due to the high number of orders
we received this Holiday Season, we are unable to take any
additional orders at this time. Thank you and Have a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year! |
