For fanfic purposes or if it's a particular spirit you need to refer to,
you might be able to go with "Rei no Mori" "The Spirit of THE Woods."
Just a small correction: most of the rest of the post was right, but 'Rei
no Mori' would mean 'the Forest of the Spirit.' 'Mori no Rei' would be
'the Spirit of the Forest.' 'No' works like 'of,' but with the order of
the parts reversed -- i.e. 'A no B' means 'the B of A' or 'A's B.' It's a
small point, but it's one that I see people getting wrong all the time, to
annoying effect...
