The Environmental Echo
Climate change activates dormant mythologies across France. As glaciers retreat, Alpine White Ladies age and rage. As seas rise, Breton cities beneath the waves stir. As heatwaves intensify, new spirits emerge from environmental trauma.
This activation isn't coincidental but reflects folklore's role as environmental memory. The stories encode survival information: which slopes avalanche, where rivers flood, how weather patterns kill. As climate shifts, old warnings become newly relevant, and mythology proves its practical value.
