Isle of May is a stunning place to visit. A National Nature Reserve and home to a huge puffin colony, grey seals, razorbills, eider ducks and many other seabirds, the island also has fabulous cliff scenery and a fascinating history. 🏴
I have not seen this film even though it was released four years ago. It looks like it could be very interesting.
'Call Of The Forest – The Forgotten Wisdom Of Trees' is a documentary featuring scientist and acclaimed author Diana Beresford-Kroeger.
Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a scientist, but she doesn’t seem to only approach this subject from an intellectual scientific point of view, but also from a spiritual perspective.
I do not know her personal system of beliefs, her worldview, but to me she’s kind of making the same mistake as others make when they talk about our connection to nature, they leave out the role of ethnicity, ancestry, ancestral memory.
You can not expect that modern people from different ethnic and racial backgrounds will have the same connection with nature and the forest.
Yes it’s true that all of the old world indigenous people on earth were nature people, but they were all located in different parts of the world. Our planet is very rich with its biodiversity and very different environments, climates, and landscapes.
I believe ancestral memory plays a big part here. If your ancestors lived many generations inside, or near a northern forests, then depending on how connected you are with your ancestry, your ethnic heritage, you too will be drawn to the northern forests. The land of your ancestors will speak to you through your intuition. If you come across a specific environment or climate that was the environment and climate of your ancestors for many generations, surely it will have an effect on you now
It might not be as simple as I put it, but I truly believe that these things are connected.
To me your personal relationship with nature goes hand in hand with your personal relationship with your ancestors and your native ethnic heritage. The 2 are connected. Can’t have one without the other, but that’s just my own way of seeing it.

I’ve mentioned that it is my belief our connection to nature depends on our connection with our own ancestors and ethnic background. And considering that I am also a supporter of ‘ancestral reincarnation’ which is a belief that souls reincarnate into the same bloodline/family lineage, rather than randomly reincarnating all over the earth, you can see how that adds even more weight to my belief that there’s a connection between one’s relationship with nature, and one’s relationship with one’s own ancestors. If we are to entertain this idea of ‘ancestral reincarnation’ we must acknowledge that we are our ancestors! We were there in the past, and we are here now.

Before Europe began to travel the world and colonize Asia, The Americas, etc. The symbol of wildness and "Savageness" was the Wildman or Woodwose, a person covered in fur/hair from head to toe. However, after traveling around and finding most of the "Savage" races of man were relatively hairless in comparison a new appreciation of European hairiness entered the culture. Woodwose's became a common heraldic symbol, a new romanticism entered their mythology, and beards became a point of racial pride for Europeans and Beard Clubs and Competitions arose as a way of celebrating the hirsute and burly masculine beauty of the Hyperborean peoples, taking pride in being hairy like the wildman in comparison to the other races. -TLK
