Forest Spirituality

“All medieval literature, whether it be ‘Chansons de geste’ or the Arthurian Romances, both saturated with the Celtic spirituality, invariably explore the theme of the forest: a perilous world, refuge of spirits and fairies, hermits and dissidents, but also the place where the tormented soul of the knight, whether his name is Lancelot, Percival,or Ywain, is purified. I feel that very strongly. To me, going into the forest is far more than just a physical need, it is a spiritual necessity”

Dominique Venner
