House spirits are ghost of dead people, and wood spirits are ghost of trees....smile.... actually ... Trees have played an important role in many of the world's mythologies and religions, and have been given deep and sacred meanings throughout the ages. Human beings, observing the growth and death of trees, the elasticity of their branches, the sensitivity and the annual decay and revival of their foliage, see them as powerful symbols of growth, decay and resurrection. The most ancient cross-cultural symbolic representation of the universe's construction is the world tree. The image of the Tree of life is also a favorite in many mythologies. Various forms of trees of life,… also appear in folklore, culture and fiction, often refers to the tendency of many societies throughout history to worship or otherwise mythologize relating to immortality or fertility. These often hold cultural and religious significance to the peoples for whom they appear. For them, it may also strongly be connected with the motif of the world tree.
