I like the fact that belief in gnomes is still strong in Norway Clearwitch, it gives me hope and it made me wonder if the spirits show themselves sometimes so that people will keep believing in them.

Shadowborn, you are blessed to have seen Pele.

Just a few months ago I was again in some woods at the end of the day and saw what I believe were tree spirits about the size and shape of a large child, moving in the treetops and leaping from tree to tree and then floating and dancing between the trees.
They were what I could only describe as ghostly figures that glowed white.
