The wildwood is everywhere. It's inside us. It's outside us. And, of course, if you happen to be near any of the more ancient forests, not just in Europe; then, you are in touch with the source itself.

There are ancient atavistic things that need to be approached with care. But even these, if faced up to, can bring blessings.
