Understanding and Recognizing Trees
You will need to experience a variety of trees if you are to become sensitive to the energy of the different species of trees and individual trees within the species.
The Oak tree is a very important tree in Druidry. Some other sacred trees are birch, willow, holly, hazel, hawthorn, alder, and yew.
You will notice how you will feel comfortable sitting next to two or one of the trees in your circle, because their vibrations resonate with yours. Such trees spiritually change your aura or personal energy field.
Through time you will be able to sense slight changes of energies in the individual trees according to the solar and lunar cycles.
Merging with the Essence of a Tree
-Choose any tree in your grove or woodland. If you can try to work in the sunlight so that the sun shine through the leaves.
-Walk towards the tree and stand so all your fingers and toes are slightly touching the trunk.
-Draw up rich golden energy through your feet and legs to rise through yourself.
-As you work, allow the tree essence to form an image in your mind, maybe of gnarled woman, a young sprite, or an authoritative guardian with antlers formed as branches.
-Hug the tree in thanks or tie a biodegradable ribbon on it.
*If the tree is still welcoming sit against the trunk for awhile, making a connection with the forest floor.
-Remember to record any images, words or feeling you get in your journal.
