Info
There are old folktales about the hollows of trees. They have been passed down in songs and lullabies from mother to daughter, to son. It is believed that the hollow can transform you or serve as a portal to the Other Side. And we wondered what happens on the Other Side. Is there truly a magical world where trees can sing and glow from within? A world where tree spirits help keep the light alive? And how do we fit into this?
In some stories, all of this comes to life through the beautiful forest fairies – protectors of the Tree of Life, Dryads of the Oak tree.
Here, we bestowed the role to @tautumeitas. Their music taps into that same realm of ancient stories.
