Wood spirits originated in Germany in the 15th century and were believed to protect forests. People later began carving their own wood spirits and bringing them into their homes, where they were thought to bring good luck, happiness and peace. The document provides step-by-step instructions for carving a wood spirit from a piece of wood using basic carving tools. It describes shaping the face and adding details like eyebrows, nose, cheeks, mustache and hair to bring the spirit to life. Once completed, the homemade wood spirit can be shown off to friends and bring its carver luck.

Dreamcatchers are both spiritual and religious symbols and, for many people, a very attractive piece of home décor. They can therefore be hung in various places and on interior walls to add a warm appeal. Bedroom walls, doors, and other places are among the greatest places to display them.
A dreamcatcher is ideal for both decorating your home and sending good night wishes to individuals who are sleeping. Even making a dreamcatcher at home is possible. The blog that follows explains everything about dreamcatchers, including their advantages, how to construct and decorate your own, and where to hang them. Move on!
This is a powerpoint that I made for a class where I pretended to be a monk creating a manual for a new scriptorium in Northern Ireland in the later Middle Ages.

Yes, we are
allowed.
In the pandemic era, concepts like “security” and “control” have
become a thing of the past. They’re feelings that the lucky among
us are still able to remember, but which we’re only able to experience
to a limited extent. The first lockdown saw them evolve
into a massive cloud of longing that hung somewhere overhead.
Did they disappear into the world of transcendence? Is it because
of this that our need for spirituality in our lives has grown?
Spirituality is a world of permission. We’re allowed to say yes to
wishes, dreams and desires, to the search for a special connection
with ourselves. With our soul and with our heart. And perhaps
it’s more the looking than the finding that does us good.
Because looking involves discovering. And there is still so much
to be discovered. Spirituality means that life has a direction.
That we’re turning towards something where we can let ourselves
flourish. That’s why the new spirituality looks for places that are
genuine. Genuine in how they interact with people, with other
creatures and with nature. You can find the new spirituality within
your own four walls, on a yoga mat or a shakti acupressure mat.
You’ll find it anywhere in the world where people put the effort
into creating something from their heart and soul. A hotel, a
restaurant, a craft or an item of clothing. The new spirituality
is anywhere that has meaning. It’s the feeling of security in the
present moment that can dispel our fear of the unknown, that
allows us to let go of the need to control our lives and the world
around us. Because there’s one thing we’re not allowed to forget:
there’s no such thing as real control.
This is our book, which sums up not only our work and our way of understanding design, but also how we feel about life and our studio's philosophy. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

1. How to Carve a Wood Spirit
Wood carving tools may only seem useful for whittling away at a piece of wood aimlessly. However, if
you are huddling around a camp fire and telling scary stories for a few hours, you might as well have
created something useful by the end of the night, right?
That is when it is time to pull out the Wood Spirit you are making, and liven up the party. You can tell
about the history of the man you created on the stick; it will catch people’s attention.
History of Wood Spirits
“Wood Spirits” date back to the 15th
century in the Black Forest of Germany, and legend tells that they
lived in the forest and had magical powers to protect the forest from fire and destruction. Later, people
created their own wood spirits and brought them into their own homes.
Legend has it that these wood spirits even helped people find
subsurface water beneath their homes and land. Knowing where
the subsurface water was helped the people find the water and
use it to sustain themselves and their families.
Having these carvings in their homes kept them safe from fire and
destruction. These wood spirits also are said to bring in
happiness, good luck and peace.
High tech wood carving tools are not necessary for producing this carving. In a few easy steps you can
carve a wood spirit and bring that luck into your own home.
Grab your favorite wood carving tools and get to work forming a surface where you want to put the face
into a wedge shape. However, the face should be formed with natural bark; it’s not simply a wood
carving.
Carving out the Spirit
Cut along each side of the nose until it reaches the inside edge of the
eyebrows. Carve along the bottom edge of the eyebrow and you will then
have established the inside pocket for the eye, as well as the bridge and eye
of the nose.
Next you want to start adding some shape to the face; this can be left to your
interpretation. Carve out the eyebrows so the forehead can come into view.
Once you do this, cut about 1/8 inch from the bottom corner of the nose to
hollow out the cheeks. However, if you want a little chubbier wood spirit you
can leave out this last step.
Carve out the mustache next, and try not to make it too busy. Right under
2. the mustache, just make a small cut to form the bottom lip.
Now, we can’t leave this poor man bald, so we have to make some hair. Make several flowing cuts up to
the bottom of the mustache for a long beard, and down the forehead as well for his head of hair.
The flows of these waves are up to your interpretation. Remember though, this spirit is here to bring
you safety and luck, so make sure he gets a look he will appreciate.
Your handsome wood spirit is almost completed. Now all you have left is accenting the eyes and the
nose.
Take a look at the work you have created; show it off to your friends. Next time you are sitting around
the campfire there won’t be scary stories; instead, pull out your wood carving tools because there will
be new wood spirits making their way into the world.
