Dryads

[Ami]

Hi all I was just wondering have any of you had any experiences with dryads?
It was not until recently I had become aware of them, as I was reading about a ritual to attract dryads,
But still it has seemed to open my heart and mind to the tree spirits, I havent seen them nor felt them but as I was going past trees that have been cut down, I felt loss,
Of course I usually feel annoyed when I see tress cut down but this time it was different.
Anyway looking forward to hearing of you experiences

The tree has it's own spirit so when you feel the loss passsing by a tree that has been cut down, in my experience, you are sensing the loss of "life", the life of the tree. The dryad can choose to interact with a tree's spirit, but I wouldn't think that the dryad would "die" when the tree dies ... it would likely move on.

Thanks I, Brian ... I sent a friend here to brush up on her comparative religion and I came accross this forum. "Dryads" typically draw my attention
