Forest Spirit by Amy Brown

Elen of the ways, the antlered goddess takes a rest on an ancient, mysterious path at Lands end in Cornwall (Kernow), the western most point of the land they called Albion.  Also known as the Green lady, she is the only horned goddess, wearing the antlers of the female Reindeer, in turn the only Deer whose females are antlered. (I chose the antlers of the Spitzbergen Reindeer for their small size!) Elen is the guardian of the Leys, the ancient track ways. Her earliest tracks were the migratory paths of the Reindeer, and here is the close association with them. The birds visiting her are red billed Choughs, Britain’s rarest Crow is also Cornwall’snational bird, legend says it is one of these that King Arthur shape shifted into rather than truly die. Her name means ‘Light’. (Source)
