A huldra is a seductive forest creature found in Scandinavian folklore. She is known as the skogsrΓ₯ "forest spirit" or Tallemaja "pine tree Mary" in Swedish folklore Every Friday the 13th, a group of huldra, living in the mountains, publish the woman's magazine 'Bergtatt'. They answer questions of women who lived a full moon cycle in a forest-rich mountainous region and who deliberately pursued mountain encounters rather than being passive observed forced to deal with the mountains because of circumstances beyond their control.

This book celebrates the 600th anniversary of Bergtatt, by offering articles that are still relevant for women in forest-rich mountains today.…
