I love how much of a universal human constant it is to fear The Woods. what happens in The Woods is none of our business. if you see or hear something in The Woods after dark, No You Fucking Didn’t and you should leave immediately.

#something something huge swathes of our planet were once covered in dense forrest and jungles full of predators #something something generational memory of survival tips passed on as myths and stories #this thought was sparked after i watched a funny reel by a native man talking about skin walkers #and it reminded me of the same way older european folk tales would talk about The Wolf in the The Woods #i’m sure someone has already done an anthropology about this but anyway i love people and i love how we share mythos across time <3 #humanity #anthropology #the woods are lovely dark and deep
