Who doesn't love trees? They are
our steady friends through storm and breeze, our providers of oxygen, shelter
and shade. The relationship between humans and trees are age-old and
beautifully complex. Our root and branch allies are always there, reminding
us of digging our energies deep into the earth, as well as reaching towards the
open sky.
Around the world the world tree
shows up as a symbol for all that is. In the world tree lives not only humans,
animals and plants, but gods, spirits and fantastical beasts as well. In Norse
mythology the world tree is called Yggdrasil – often depicted as a giant ash
tree, holding the nine worlds.
I have decided to write a series
in this blog on the magical properties of trees. I look forward to you reading.
