The Dryads are faeries who are found in all Celtic countries. They are tree dwelling creatures and their nature is playful. In Greek drys signifies oak from an Indo-European root derew(o) meaning tree or wood.
The dryad is open to human contact and is active all year. Willow trees in which a dryad lodges are said to walk about at night looking for new pastures in which to lay down their roots. Dryads know of astral travel, tree magic and divination, and may be coaxed into sharing their secrets.
