**Nemophilist:** A person who loves or is fond of woods or forests.

Yes, definitely! One of the best places to go when you need some quiet time and to relax. 🌳 🐿 🦌 🍃 ---

I am too. I find them soothing and mystical. Even though I am a water element, the forest for me is a place of relaxation and uniqueness. ---

Can I like just the edges? LOL! I’m afraid I’d get lost if I went all the way in. Not to mention my rollator doesn’t like the forest either. LOL. ---

The forum has been teaching me so many fun words I had never heard of before- “Nemophilist” and also “[Pluviophile](https://forum.spells8.com/t/are-you-a-pluviophile/4180)” 🌧 and “[Ceraunophilia](https://forum.spells8.com/t/ceraunophilia/2394)” ⚡ I love these words that embody feelings so well 😊 When it comes to the woods, I’m like @Amethyst- I love them, but I certainly feel safer sticking to the edge or on paths that I know well! 🏞 I’m moving today and going to stay out in the countryside in a place surrounded by forest for a while, so I actually spent some time researching **[Artemis](https://spells8.com/artemis-devotional/)**- the Greek Goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, animals, deep forest, and protector of unmarried women 🦌 🏹 🌳 Artemis seems like the perfect diety for Nemophilists, not to mention that she’s a Moon Goddess too! 🌕 ---

Yes!! Growing up in the city I never knew I was one but since moving to Oregon I can say I have the privilege to be a nemophilist! 🌲 🌲 Here’s a photo I took a while back. I have some friends who lived in a yurt and this was nearby, it had an art studio inside! 🎨 ![20180505_182145](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/5/503c473432da4ce61c5ef58ef7b1f38f30035d59.jpeg) And another photo I took in a national forest since we’re on it… yay for Oregon! ![20200807_165118](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/d/d8ddfb7c6372ed5531fc40958cb42d7ae4b67464.jpeg) ---

That’s very interesting!! A yert, I’ve never heard of that. I’ve seen them but I didn’t think too much as if they were named. ---

Hi! Yes, what strange synchronicity. I ran into this word in mid June and added it to my IG profile! Just don’t call me a nemophiliac 😁 ---

I definitely appreciate nature, but I also appreciate the artificial. Both are a part of my life. I’ve always liked technology. ---

Thank you, Colin! 🥰 > [@colin](#): > > I’ve always liked technology. I’m with you on this one 👍 I used to think of nature and technology as opposing forces, but recently I’ve begun to see things in a different light. I still wouldn’t consider myself a Techno Witch, and I _definitely_ need my breaks away from electronics 😅 , but now I try to see the times when technology can compliment nature. I think technology, like magick, is just a force/tool that we can use 👐 . Broken down to their basics, even computer or car parts originally came from nature. And one day (with hopefully better sustainable recycling processes) they may return to the earth 🌍 😊🌳 ---

I understand. I believe artificial things deserve just as much respect as the natural world in their own right. Well stated.
