Connecting with Trees

Working with Trees

***Before working with trees, please be knowledgeable about them. There are toxic / poisonous trees that one should not touch or handle in any way. Start with widely-recognizable trees, such as pine or oak, if you are a novice.***

Trees have held special magical meanings in cultures around the world. They are gateways to working with Earth energy and Earth magic. Each type of tree has its own special meaning, so utilize a tree that resonates best with your intentions. Here are some ways to work with trees within your magical path:

🌳Learn about trees. Read books; do research online etc. Recognize and identify them by sight. Know their seeds, leaf shapes etc. Learn both the magical correspondences and the scientific / botanical facts about them.

🌳Visit a tree and offer water or a small gemstone at the roots to honor its spirit. Touch the tree and pray for its well-being. Then thank it for providing oxygen, food (if it has edible parts), a home for small creatures, and shade. Say goodbye and do not pick fresh leaves or twigs etc from it.

🌳Go forest bathing. (Safely) venture into a local forest or heavily-wooded park. Ask the trees to recharge you and fill you with restorative verdant energy. Observe the natural beauty, listen to the birds singing, breathe calmly...take it all in. Reverently walk through the area and thank the trees for the healing.

🌳Pray over a ribbon. Speak your wishes to it. Then ask a tree's permission to work with you. If you sense confirmation and acceptance, loosely tie the ribbon on a branch or twig to help bring your goals to fruition.

🌳Collect three small fallen twigs and pray over them. Whisper your intentions into them. Then stake them into the earth to help anchor the energy in the material world and to manifest your desires.

🌳Sit at the foot of a tree and meditate, daydream, read, or have a picnic. Thank the tree for its shade and company when done.

🌳Collect fallen acorns, pinecones, or seeds from the foot of a tree. Place them on your altar and utilize them in spells and rituals.

🌳Plant a small tree if you have the outdoor space. Speak kind words to the plant and tend to it with care as it grows.

🌳Work with a twig to use as a magic wand. Bless it and wash it with blessed water first. Kiss the wand when done consecrating it (do NOT handle toxic trees or place them near your mouth).

🌳Utilize a tree stump as an altar table. Pray over the damaged, fallen, or chopped tree stump (do NOT purposely chop down a tree for this...find a fallen one that you have encountered by happenstance). Ask the tree its permission to give it a second life as an altar table. Place gemstones upon it and bless it.

🌳Hold a twig upright in each hand. Cross your arms over your chest. Close your eyes and think of your goals, your dreams, or simply meditate. Imagine lines of energy flowing through the twigs, up into the sky and down towards the earth. Envision your success and happiness. Hold that space and feel empowered. When finished, place the twigs in the shape of an X on the ground.

🌳Be a protector of trees. Join a tree-planting group or environmental protection & preservation society. Donate to public botanical gardens etc. as well.

I hope that these suggestions are helpful!

🌳Walnut Tree

The walnut tree is connected to the planet Jupiter, and the Sun. It is of the fire and earth element. Its qualities are healing, fertility, love, and mental acuity.✨

🌱Carry the nuts to enhance fertility, and strengthen the heart.

🌱Wearing walnut leaves either as a crown or around a hat, is said to prevent headaches.

🌱There is a legend that in the Golden Age humans lived on acorns but the Gods lived on walnuts, hence the genus name Juglans (walnut) comes from ‘Jovis Glans,’ meaning nut of Jupiter. 

🌱If you receive a gift of walnuts, your wishes will come true. 

🌱A bride who desired to postpone childbearing would wear in her bodice as many roasted walnuts as years she wishes to avoid childbirth.

🌱There is a legend named, ‘The Witches of Benevento,’ which according to the medieval legend; beneath the famous ‘Tree of Benevento’ which is said to have been a walnut tree that stood on the banks of the Sabato River, was a place where witches from around the world gathered to perform pagan rituals. Barbatus, a Christian saint, had the walnut tree cut down in an effort to halt the pagan proceedings. Centuries later, the legend formed when reports of witches’ gatherings was circulating in Benevento. The gathering took place underneath a walnut tree that was believed to be the same tree Barbatus had cut down. The tree was rumored to re-appear on the nights of the witch’s sabbats,     

🌱The fall equinox was the time to perform the yearly ritual of gathering walnuts in their green hulls. The fresh green rinds are peeled and added to healing salves.

🌱The husks and leaves of the walnut may be infused in boiled water, cooled, and poured on plants that are plagued by worms or other insect pests.

🌱The green unripe husks are antiseptic, germicidal, vermicidal, and a parasiticide. 

🌱A wand from the wood of a walnut tree is great for spells involving astral travel, weather work, healing, and empowerment.

🌳Willow Tree

The willow tree is associated to the moon and it is connected to the element of water. Its qualities are femininity, love, healing, protection, and divination.🌜

✨ Willow bark is useful to alleviate pain and lower fevers.

✨A decoction of the leaves or bark, simmered lightly, is used to treat dandruff.

✨The white willow is most commonly used as an herbal remedy. The Purple Willow has the same general properties as the White Willow and is even more effective in lowering fevers. The Sallow or Goat Willow eases indigestion, whooping cough and catarrh, and is used as an antiseptic to disinfect bandages.

✨ In the Lakota tradition, tobacco and willow are smoked together in the sacred pipe because it was thought that the willow’s energy helped the tobacco ascend to the heavens.

✨Willow is generally found near sources of water or in swampy areas. Ancient burial mounds in the British Isles that are near water were often lined with willows. Maybe to help keep them from being damaged by moisture. Funerary flints were cut in a willow leaf shape.

✨Willow leaves are used in herbal mixtures designed to attract love, and its wood is used to make wands for moon magic. 

✨Willow is often used by dowsers to locate underground water, earth energies, and buried objects,

✨Willow wood carried or placed in the home guards against evil.

✨A willow tree growing near a home will provide protection.

✨Willow leaves, bark, and wood add energy to healing magic.

✨Willow bark and Sandalwood mixed and burned together during the waning moon may conjure spirits.

✨Carrying a piece of willow wood helps to overcome the fear of death.

✨If you wish to manifest something in your life, tie a knot on a willow branch as you visualize your intention. When you receive what you asked for, untie the knot and use it again. 

*Before consuming any part of a Willow Tree, do some research first! Make sure the tree/leaves have not been treated with pesticides, etc. Before taking anything make sure to tell the tree what you are about to do and why. Also, give something in return as thanks (coins, tobacco, pour a drink, crystal chips, etc.) *

So to continue my recollection of flowers as seen in celtic symbolism here is the latest addition: the Cuckoo flower

The Cuckoo Flower, or Lady's Smock, is traditionally a fairies' plant, and for this reason it was, and sometimes still is, considered unlucky to bring it into the house. Its presence in a May-garland was also forbidden, and in most places where such things are made, it is commonly omitted even now. At one time, this rule was so strictly enforced that if a few sprigs were woven in by mistake, the whole garland had to be taken to pieces and remade. In Oxford shire, many people still refuse house-room to this pretty flower but, oddly enough, the crossed hoops and floral crosses carried about on May morning in Oxford itself contain it more often than not.

Cuckoo flowers were formerly used medicinally to purify the blood, strengthen the heart, and prevent scurvy. They were frequently eaten in salads, or as a cress.
