Episode Synopsis "EP5: "Green Girl of the Birches - A Rune of Beginnings" by Ari Berk and Brian Froud"

A 7 minute walk to birch trees at the edges of Elfland, where fairies dwell, stories are felt, and time is difficult to tell. This is taken from the book, The Runes of Elfland, a collection of the Elder Futhark runes and the stories they embody. Nature is not just something to study. Through stories and lore, emotions and imagination, we nurture the rich connections that become legacy. Written by Ari Berk and illustrated by Brian Froud, this is not a conventional take on the runes, but an interpretation from the perspective of Elfland, Elfheim, or the Otherworld of fairy lores.This is 2 pages out of the 111-page book.
