"The tale of Njuru Rag” by Jonas Öhman

So I joined The Creative Challenge. Best decision this Covid 19 period. I have followed Helsinglight for a long time. Finding their work and location very inspiring. I have not visited them yet. But this Challenge was a first taste and certainly created a longing for more. Very well arranged. Inspiring themes and good instructions. I would not hesitate to do this again. And can surely recommend it.

The tale of Njuru Rag

It was long ago. Deep within The forests of Helsinglight. The Shaman Njuru Rag had taken refuge within The forest. Hunted for being a warlock. There within The Woods. His knowledge grew stronger. Trees, animals. Nothing were strange to him. Then one day. It was in The warm Summer. Heat was rising and The air shivered.

But then all of a sudden. The skies turned black. Black as Night. Thunder arose. And lightning bolts painted the skies. He found shelter near an old oak. Or so he thought. A mighty blast made his ears ring. Then came The Bolt. A massive Light that threw him against The tree. It burned him. It burned The tree. Fusing them together. Then all of a sudden a crack. The bark Split up. The Shamans head cracked open and The sprit of The two entities caught up together within The tree. Heavy cold raindrops fell in an intense Rain. The tree sealed up. Spirits trapped inside.

Then it all stopped. Quiet. Nothing. The years passed. The tree grew. But a new creature was Born. That of tree and man. Knowledge of Mother nature and awareness of all living and The urge to help them made it tear its roots from the soil. Wander The Woods. Always protecting it and its inhabitants.
