Wow

-heka

Yea..lol

You stare at your reflection
In hope of getting a connection
To another world
You once had known
Where earthy qualities lie
An mysteries tie
The two together
And nothing more
Because of the differences
and complete disregard
It is harder to find
then it was before
Harmony and content no longer here
until you tear
Down the veil which covers your eye's
And in time you will find
we are not alone
That we shared this world
So long ago
With something forgotten
But still lives on
In myth and folklore
The truth lies there
Not truly forgotten
Though I guess
Just pushed aside
And regarded as fake and lies
but even stories hold some truth
Even the earth is more than it seems
you try to see the in between

Yup lol I did. Thanks ^^

Thank you for your welcomes!^^Lol yeah it seems I didn't talk about my path I usually do but this time I didn't. Well I was raised Christian but then decided it wasn't really for me and was more interested in Wicca and other religions. I liked how Wicca was a nature centered religion and I was always into it. But I really have no defined path that I am on at the moment it was Wicca but now I'm like a mix.

Your Welcome^^ lol I don't know. A "new" thing popped up for me saying there was a reply to my topic but thats it.

Creating or Finding you Grove

-You can plant bushes or trees in a circle if you do not have a lot of land or tees.

-You can even put house plants in a circle in your room.

* I will go on to put more info on this.

**Tips

-Incorporate water (Bowl of water, garden pond, water pump)

-If Abroad such as on weekends and holidays you can go to parks or wooded areas

- Work at different times-dawn, noon, dusk, and in the dark to experiment with the phases of the moon and different energies ad frgrances.

-Experince different seasons and weathers, such as rain,snow, and sunshine in your grove.

-Herb beds and seed beds are good for hungry visitors that stop by.

Special Place

-Such as an attic, spare room, or any room that offers a view of greenery out of a window. Garden shed is another one.

-You don't need complicated tools so aid you in Druidry, but these will be useful.
**Robes, Staff-to draw circles and hold lantern if it is dark, crane bag- to hold natural treasures/natural frabric, and keep a journal to record experiences and stuff.

Choosing Your Power Name

-Modern day Druids and Druidesses choose special names that they use when practicing Druidry. Take your time and meditate to try and find the right name-It will come to you.

Witchcraft and Druidry

In Druidry you are not concentrating in building and releasing power, but making a connection with the forces of nature and divinity and also Druidry uses fewer tools.

Okay...

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.

Grounding

-You can be in your grove or visualize one or a specific tree in it to ground yourself and connect with the warm, nurturing mother earth.

EXERCISE

-Stand facing a tree, tis time with your hands loosely by your sides, fingers pointing down, legs slightly apart, muscles relaxed and chin slightly lowered.

-Raise your hands slowly above your head while breathing into a count of four, as you do this visualize small, golden branches coming from the tree, gently turning around and hugging you. So your excess energies and any darkness becomes insulated and transformed into a slower, gentler vibrations.

-With your fingers extended upwards and arms in a curved position, mirroring the shape of your chosen tree, hold the position and hold your breath for a count of two, seeing the tree slowly withdrawing its branches and the transformed energies flowing gently down to the center of your body towards your feet and fingertips.

-Slowly lower your arms downwards towards the earth while breathing out for a count of four, so that they end up by your sides with your fingers pointing to the earth.

-Pause for a count of two and repeat the cycle twice more, exhaling the negativity on the soil, where it will be recycled into positivity.

-If working on a balcony, patio, or work office place give the plants extra plant food and run a crystal pendulum over the soil counterclockwise to absorb negative energy. Wash it afterwards and shake dry in light.

Creating a Visualized/Personalized grove

You can visualize a whole grove of tees or just one. You may spend a number of days over a period of time to perfect this technique. You can visualize certain trees for the qualities you need.

Tree Oracle Cards

-You can create a series of oracle cards for the trees whose qualities are revelent to you at this time.

-By writing their names on cards, you are creating a set of symbols or psychic triggers that can use much as you would tarot cards to discover which trees will be most helpful to you at a particular time.

-Make up cards a little larger than tarot cards and leave one side blank. On the other side of each card write the name of a tree and if you wish either copy drawings of leaves or fruits You can download images off the internet. Laminate them if possible.

Yea I do lol ^^

Thanks :)

The suns' flowing light illuminates the earth

Passing its gentle rays on all places and things

Feeling the cool warmth emanate as it gets farther away

Night and day are equal

Whispers on the wind sing of the change

While animals gather food and prepare for the upcoming season

Reflect and look back on the things you've done because you reap what you sow

Good and bad
