Why so? There are precedents within myth of the "Spirit of the Earth" being delineated (at least to observers) in time and space. I am thinking here of the examples that Lalwendė touched upon, such as Herne the Hunter and the Green Man.
In fact, to an observer who, him or herself, is fixed in time and space, how could such a spirit not also appear to them to be so delineated?
