The Natural World study of the spiraling, cyclical existences of different trees species provided valuable comparative information for understanding the journey and passages of the individual soul, as it endured through an eternity of lives, from dawn to dusk and from season to season. Treelore was rooted deep in times long past. Realizing the divinity within everything. Druidic Ovates studied the powerful mysteries underlying nature and the stars to find formulas to restore equilibrium to mind, body, and spirit. The journey of the acorn to the sapling to the oak tree to the sprouting spring leaves to the autumn falling gold, intrigued and totally involved the Ovates in the Spiral Circle dance of Creation. The World Tree or Tree of Life was a symbol ladened with many sacred meanings to the Druidic Celts and acted as a visual portal key opening doorways to hidden knowledge and ancient genetic memories. Trees had their heads in the clouds but their feet were planted firmly on the ground. The leafy tops of Trees moved with the currents of the sky winds and their roots burrowed deep into the moist nourishment of the earth.
Each year most trees lived
a condensed lifetime over cyclic seasons that fostered continued growth through
periods of dormancy, renewal, growth, and decay from full blossom growth, to
golden leaf days, to icy stillness, to budding rebirth once again. The forest
was a sacred place filled with wooded sanctuaries and shrines.
Amber was encoded with Treelore, the wisdom and knowledge of Tree Spirits, who for many thousands of years, anchored light on the planet, watched and learned much about universal happenings, as cultures and empires passed through many cycles of existence. Amber was a mineraloid fossilized tree resin with inclusions of insects (ants, bees, flies, gnats, moths, etc.) or plants parts (flowers, leaves, mushroom caps, seeds, pine needles, etc.). Like a message from the Nature Spirits in a resin bottle, buoyant nuggets of Amber float in the salt water until they are washed up on distant shores. Millions of years old, Amber was a timelink window to the past, a transparent photograph containing ancient Tree Spirit Lore. Since most of the world's amber deposits are the byproduct of the trees' defensive systems protecting them from parasitic or fungal attacks, it is a more primal form of record keeping than the quartz crystal archiving practiced by some of the antediluvian Cultures. Since Amber came from the lifeblood, the sap, of the ancient trees who were all storytellers, all amber was imbued with informative tales. The plant part nuggets in particular contained lyrical storylines of the Eldar Days when the human races lived in peace with each other and communed with Nature Spirits, honoring and aiding in their Earthkeeper work. The Amber without inclusions was like cryogenic lightening waiting to be awakened so it could quicken our evolutionary spiral with the wisdom and might of the Celtic Druidic Goddesses and Gods.
The Sacred Pathway of
Druidry was a Wisdom Quest that embraced life as a magical celebration and
honored animal, star, stone, and Treelore. The wildwood, nature, sacred groves,
restorative justice, creativity, artistry, beauty, peace, crystals, story, myth,
and ancestors are all lovingly revered. There was no separation between the
worlds for the Celtic and the Nature Spirits of the Trees and Sacred Groves who
were authentically luminal... Go back
