Welcome to a world full of mystery, surprises, magic, and adventure. It is a world described through the eyes of sixteen treesas seen by our ancestors.Each story is a reflection and interpretation of our world and the world of ideas. Some conventions had take a back seat every now and then though.In the beginning there is Freya, the birch, describing the very act of being born, followed by powerful first experiences. We then go to Brigitte, the red haired girl who learned how to stand up to the class bully (with help from the rowan).Sixteen, a perfect number, multiplied by five roughly equals an average human lifespan. Each story therefore tries to reflect the mental age and abilities of the main character(s).When we reach the yew at the end the ’players’ merge into one and everything begins to make sense. We now realize that the goal of any journey is not some kind of ’ending’ but in fact the actual journey itself is the goal!The yew (named Ioho) is keen to reveal mysteries almost impossible to confine with language. A new kind of understanding is trying to give birth to itself in a world of constant change and fluctuation.If trees could talk, what a tale they could tell!
