Plant Spirits

Plant Spirits are a type of Naturae Spirit.

Overview

The spirits of plants, including trees, still maintain close connections to their counterparts in the material world. Usually, a Rite of Awakening performed on a physical plant will awaken the spirit of that plant, enabling Garou to interact with it. In other words, finding the plant and finding the plant's spirits are one and the same. Not all plants, however, have a resident spirit due to the excessive strength of the Gauntlet in many areas of the modern world.

In general, plant spirits are slow to ally themselves with Garou since these sedentary spirits find the high Rage of Gaia's hunters and warriors to be unsettling. For this reason, plant spirits rarely act as totem spirits for Garou, although they will occasionally agree to teach Gifts and will sometimes allow themselves to be bound into fetishes.

Plant spirits always Slumber in winter, and must be roused with a Rite of Awakening in order to contact them during that season. All plant spirits Awaken for the first day of spring to celebrate the flowering of their children in the material world.
