Outside the Circle: Top Ten Magickal Facts about Trees

Tree Magic

Wind Whispering is a form of tree magic. To do it, simply lie beneath a tree with a question in your head. Let yourself drift into a quiet wondering, the question always in your mind, and then focus on the wind moving through the tree’s leaves. After a time, it is said that the stirrings will resolve themselves into softly spoken words, and the answer to your question will be made clear.

Another simple tree spell is to sit with your back against a strong tree when you’re tired out or are feeling ill. You sit until the bark pressing into your back no longer feels like pain, and you feel yourself sinking back into the tree’s flesh. Then feel the power of the earth being drawn up through the tree’s roots, nourishing not only the tree, but filling your body as well. Soon you’ll feel a powerful vitality flooding through you, and when you rise to your feet again, you’ll find that you’re ready to conquer anything!

Trees can also absorb negative energy from our bodies, without it doing the tree any harm.

You can also enhance your psychic perceptions of the world around you, by merging your consciousness with that of your healing tree. Allow your aura to merge with the tree’s energy field, and with your eyes open, see the surroundings as if through the consciousness of the tree.
