Why do you believe a book so blindly? Have you read "Monstrum, or Description of the Witcher"? :)

Actually, IIRC when you go to the Bald Mountain with Ciri, she tells you that the crones destroyed the old druid circle in Velen, and corrupted their tree on the top of the mountain. So I'm inclined to believe that She-Who-Knows is the old druid, who created some children with magic, who turned against her, took over Velen, and corrupted it.

Also, the 'evil' spirit doesn't seem to have any power of its own before you free it. The forest didn't let her die, the forest protects her. If you try to kill her, she does nothing. Nature, however comes to her aid in the form of werewolves and endregas. Who does nature usually protect in fantasy worlds? Druids, not evil spirits.
