Dryads

Dryads are mythological female tree spirits originating from Greek mythology. They are closely associated with specific trees or forests, believed to be guardians or personifications of their trees. Dryads are often depicted as beautiful, mystical beings who exist as long as their tree lives; if the tree dies, so does the dryad. They symbolize the soul of the forest and the deep connection between nature and spirit, embodying the idea that trees and natural environments are alive and deserving of respect.
