~The vulpes woman

Foxes are very present in folklore, and are often represented as mysterious, intelligent and trickster creatures. Among the most famous depictions is that of Kitsune, in Japanese folklore, in which the fox is a shapeshifter entity that takes the form of a young woman. In Slavic mythology, foxes are related to Devana, goddess of forests and hunting. She’s married to Veles, god of the underworld, herds, music, trickery and, according to some sources, poisonous mushrooms (come on, I had to mention this!). Devana is portrayed as a rebellious goddess who had an unrestrained love for her freedom, wearing her hair down (which was unacceptable for an unmarried woman). She was always accompanied by a fox or a wolf.

Foxes also play an important role in several fairy tales and fables. I am fascinated by foxes, especially the red ones (Vulpes vulpes), so I took some of these popular stories as inspiration for this photoshoot. When I immerse myself in the forest, walk barefoot and feel the nature around me, I easily dive into the creative process, adding elements of my favorite fairy tales/myths into my photos.

I also wanted to portray the loneliness of a human-fox hybrid that wanders through the forest in order to contrast the loneliness of a human living in a big city to that of a fox in the forest. From my perspective, these environments make us experience loneliness in different ways. For some reason, the loneliness in crowded cities feels much more overwhelming.

GUARDIAN OF THE FOREST 〰️ 🌲🦔🌾🦌🌾🌲🍄🏰🍄🌲🌾🦊🌾🐺🌲 Do not be afraid, he will not harm you unless you harm the forest or its magical creatures and he considers all creatures to be magical.  . Although he appears solid, he is said to actually be a spirit. It's said of his origins that he was originally a man who came to the enchanted forest and fell in love with it. He befriended the magical creatures of the forest and became their friend. One of his friends was a beautiful and majestic stag, one day he found his stag friend dead and it broke heart. He died whilst laying over the stags body and when he died the magic of the forest made their bodies become one. He was reborn as a semi corporeal immortal spirit whose purpose is to protect the enchanted forest. . 🌲🦔🌾🦌🌾🌲🍄🏰🍄🌲🌾🦊🌾🐺🌲 ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Photo © copyright 2019 samstormborn ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● #EnchantedForest #Enchanted #TheEnchantedForest #FairyForest #MagicForest #FairytalePhotography #FairytaleForest #Fairytale #Eartheeria #OnceUponATime  #StorytellingPhotography #ConceptualPhotography #Forest_of_Twinkling_Fireflies #MythicalCreatures #MagicalCreatures #Leshii #Leshy #Folklore #Mythology #Pagan #Witchcraft #Wizardry https://www.instagram.com/p/BtP1_NSF9eV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e42yi6zn4ytv

This was one of those places that seems like you only see it on social media but never get to experience it yourself. I wish we could do this again next weekend, but the leaves were already coming off the trees in such high volumes as we walked through the grove. Now to get all sappy, but I’m thankful we took a chance and drove out to a trail we’ve never been to on the possibility we MIGHT catch something that is so fleeting there’s no guarantee it’d even be there. Think that’s what made this place even more beautiful. • • • • • • #colorfulcolorado #autumnaspens #fairytaleforest thanks @danquilo for the capture (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn1p9h5HMB9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ub7j95xfhzqx
