Historical Background

In German folklore, the Waldgeist is a forest spirit which protected a forest. They often appeared as humans with leaves and twigs for hair and a beard. They would protect people who were true of spirit when they passed through the forest, though they were known to be mischievous and play pranks on people. Waldgeist is German for “forest spirit”.
