Skogsrå
Skogsrå is the paramount Swedish forest spirit, guardian of wildlife and forest. Stunning woman from front, hollow rotting back (or cow/fox tail), sometimes with animal legs. Administers the 'forest test' to hunters: respect brings luck, disrespect brings ruin. Can bear children with humans (often tragic). Embodies sustainable hunting ethics. Term means 'forest-ruler' (skog = forest, rå = ruler).
