Druid tree. Druid history.
If we close our eyes and imagine a Druid, we will often see him beside a tree, or within a sacred grove of trees. The search for a clear understanding of Druids and Druidry is one which is of particular relevance and value at the present time. The Druid's belief was that the human race descended from the trees and that each tree had it's own magical attributes. They inscribed the secrets of the trees into the Ogham alphabet. Ogham is ascribed to Ogma, the God of poetry. Each of the thirteen lunar months is associated with a sacred tree, guardian animal, Ogham letter, a Celtic deity and, in modern times, a planet.
In a conscious way we recognize the beauty of trees and their value to us, but just below the surface of our consciousness lies the knowledge that they also possess keys and powers that, if we were to share in them, would enrich our lives immeasurably.
Approaching a tree we approach a sacred being who can
teach us about love and about endless giving.
She/he is one of millions of beings who provide our air,
our homes, our fuel, our books. Working with
the spirit of the tree can bring us renewed energy,
powerful inspiration, deep communion.
