Nature
Is it not a wonderful thing to look out the window and see the
symbolism of nature?
It will tell us the truths of our lives. We have more in common than one thinks.
We both will have reactions to what happens in the world. See how spirit will
talk to you through nature. Look for yourself and see. If you respect nature and
spend time in it honoring it, things will come . If they do not at first try
writing it down, the message will come to you, just like an eagle flying through
the air.
Some asked "Is there meaning in the things that stand out to me?" Yes, there is
meaning in all things in life . We have to see it for what the message is.
If it is:
A color?
A tree?
A smell?
An animal?
Clouds?
and much, much more.
· Remember all is connected.
· Learn to recognize that some symbols you have, have meanings.
PLEASE note this is a new board we have allot of work to be posted on here so if
you have a question feel free to e-mail us or post a message.
Thank You,
Symbols
This information is from Ted Andrews Book Nature Speaks
Alder (alnus)
Key note: protection during transition; trust prophetic insight
The alder tree is one whose energies provide protection. It can awaken prophecy
in humans and it has strong ties to the element of water and its force within in
the universe- because of its natural wetland habitat. It has ties in mythology
to the Celtic pantheon and the blessed giant Bran. It is a good tree to align
with in order to overcome unawareness of what is going on around us..
A staff made from alder can awaken the ability to open perceptions. Through the
alder, we can see what is not readily apparent . It is a reminder to pay
attention to what might be hidden around use at this time.
Almond (prunes)
Key note: promise of sweetness and delicacy
Almond trees seldom need feeding. It is usually one of the first trees to
blossom and thus late frost can be hard on it. Because of this is it often a
symbol of delicacy and, but as a nut t here is a sweetness to it. Almond trees
remind us to savor the delicate sweetness of life. Are we appreciating
everything that we have?
Sweet almond oil is used as a base for many herbal tinctures and even as a base
for massage oils. It is delicate and is absorbed gently into the skin. Almond
often reminds us not to push- to be gentle in our endeavors for the greatest
success.
Apple (malus)
Key note: time for joyful giving; hidden knowledge, happiness and healing at
hand
The apple tree has many magical and healing characteristics. It is sometimes
associated with the Tree of Knowledge. The apple was the "Fruit of Avalon" that
could endow individuals with magical abilities. Staffs and wands made from an
apple tree are often painted and carved to help awaken magic. Most kids are
aware of the apple divination technique for discovering who you will marry. When
the stalk breaks, the letter you are at is the letter of your futures spouse's
first name.
Its mythology and folklore is great and entire book could be done on it alone.
In Teutonic mythology, the apple tree is associated with youthfulness and
beauty, helping to manifest opportunities to learn thought choices. It helps us
to focus and not divide our energies for greatest success. In Greek mythology ,
the apple tree grew in Hesperides and was sacred to Aphrodite. Apple is a tree
that awakens true desires of the heart . Christianity has often distorted the
fruit as a symbol of indulgence in forbidden desires, but its magical and
mystical qualities are powerful. Its spirits is strong, gentle, giving, and
playful
Native Americans, all fruit bearing trees were honored for providing food and
more. The apple tree is a loving giver, especially when treated wit love and
respect by humans. It thrives on human contact and teaches the power of sharing.
With the Faerie Realm the blossoms draw large numbers of faeries who help
promote feelings of happiness . The apple tree is also the home of the mythical
unicorn. The unicorn is one of most ancient archetypes of the natural world.
Its blossoms are powerfully fragrant and in aromatherapy , the fragrances of
apple blossom promotes happiness and success. Its energies are also cleansing to
the astral body. Its stimulates the need to make choices within our life, and
its energy helps us to realize that we always have choices. It often heralds
contact with sprit especially contact with the Faerie Realm.
Ash (Fraxinus)
Key note: combine strength and wisdom during times of sacrifice; look for
connections
It has had much folklore surrounding it. Ashes were occasionally cut down in
their first year and cut into pocket pieces. These given to others out for the
general well-being of others. It was also considered bad luck to break one of
its boughs. Its has often been a tree of protection and many once believed that
no serpent would ever lie in its shadow.
" Even ash or four leaf clover, you will see your true love before the day is
over" but this was not its only folklore , which was often contrary. To break a
bow was considered bad luck, but the pieces of it from a cut bow when the sun
moved into Taurus would stop a nosebleed.
It is a tree wit much mysticism though. Ties to Celtic mythology and the one
known as Gwydion, and it has ties to the Norse traditions as well. The ash is
sacred tree Yggdrasil, upon which Odin sacrificed himself that he might achieve
higher wisdom. The Teutonic gods held council under this tree each day. There
were nine worlds in Teutonic myth, all located throughout the great Tree of Life
. The energy which of this tree can open us to the perception of how events and
people are linked together.
It has a spirit that awakens great strength and might. It is a universal source
of light and life energy, amplifying the innate abilities of the individual.
Shamans used staves made from the ash tree in the past to link the inner and the
outer worlds and moved between them.
The ash is a reminder that all things are connected , even if we don't see the
connection initially . They remind us to move forward wit gentleness and
strength. Learning to be at one with the self, without cutting yourself off from
the rest of the world. The ash helps us to become more sensitive to the great
and small influences around us.
