A Year of Sacred Trees: Working With the Wisdom of Tree Spirits Throughout the Year

Ariadne Rainbird

A practical guide on how to tune in with the sacred energies of trees and work with tree spirits each month of the year. Trees are vital to life on Earth, providing many benefits to the environment, wildlife and humans. Trees clean the air and allow us to breathe, keeping the atmosphere rich in oxygen and filtering pollutants from the air and improving our immunity. Trees protect against floods and water pollution and are essential for the water cycle and combating climate change. Some trees fix nitrogen into the soil making the soil fertile for other plants ot grow, or protect riverbanks from collapse. Many trees live to a great age and have witnessed much in their long lives. Trees give us food, shelter warmth, tools, furniture and many practical objects., cool our streets and cities, and give ease of mind during stressful times and are beneficial to our mental health. Yet we often take trees for granted, making use of them but not stopping to thank them or to ask their permission to use their gifts. This is a book about the wisdom of trees and how we can work with them throughout the year, working with the spirits of the trees, honouring them and cooperating with them so that we may develope a relationship of cooperation rather than exploitation. Within these pages the various Tree Calendars and the Tree Alphabet are explored, as well as the practical, medicinal, magickal and divinational properties of each tree. Prayers and Meditations are given for each tree, and practical exercises for working with tree spirits and developing relationship with trees are given. The book is richly illustrated in full colour with photographs and artwork.
Contents include discussion of the Ogham alphabet and associated tree calendars, the British folkloric names for the lunar months in both English and Welsh, botanical information, colour photographs, folklore and mythology associated with each tree for each month of the year, medicinal, magical and divinatory uses for each tree, guided meditation and prayer for each tree, full colour illustrations, practical exercises and guidance for contacting and working with tree spirits, cutting and using wands in attunement with the trees, such that they become allies, making flower essences, English, Latin and welsh names for each tree.
