Cover art for The Woodwoman lyrics by Bathory

Again using Viking Metal to preserve myths and legends this song touches on the female spirits of the forest. Beings that live deep in the heart of forests,They were thought to be gentle and helpful to humans, helping those traveling through their woods unless crossed. Huntsmen and woodcutters were especially at risk of the Wood Wives’ wrath for these men interfered with the balance of nature by killing animals and chopping down trees. in truth, Germanic has the Wood Wives classified as beautiful fairies. Fairies that occasionally drink blood and kill those that meddle in their forests.
