A few months back I met a really nice woman who was a Wiccan Tree Priestess. Really. At least that\u2019s what she told me she was. She could have been yanking my chain. I have no way of knowing. I admit to being a bit ignorant about pagan religious structure.<\/p>\n
She was very nice, and very interesting to talk to about all kinds of stuff. Her perspective on things was wildly different from my own. I usually know where people are coming from, but I admit to being a bit thrown off by the whole \u201ctree priestess\u201d thing. Then she told me that not only is she a tree priestess, but it the High Tree Priestess for her area. I know I could have been evangelizing her, but I\u2019ll admit that I\u2019m such a girl that all I could think was, \u201cHigh Tree Priestess\u2026.I\u2019ll bet she gets a cool hat.\u201d<\/p>\n
I really want her to have a cool hat. I\u2019m not sure why it\u2019s important to me, but it is. I wonder about it and ask her every time I see her.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you get to wear a hat? What does it look like?\u201d<\/p>\n
She just smiles and shakes her head at me, no doubt laughing at my woeful ignorance of all things tree priestess-y. I really do want to know.<\/p>\n
I have this picture in my head of those tacky trees from the 80\u2019s that everyone had in their home. You know the kind that were made out of twisty gold wire and dangly golden leaves. We never had one. My mom wasn\u2019t that cool, but my neighbor did and I just knew it was the height of chic in interior design. That\u2019s what I picture on her head. Twisty and shiny with sparkly leaves. I can see it so clearly. Her with this glorious tree on her head and long flowing robes the color of the season just gliding gracefully through the forest.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m probably way off and she just gets a beanie. She probably just wears jeans and walks around chanting. What a disappointment. Or maybe she communes with nature so much that she walks nude and unashamed through the trees. Probably not though. I think you can get arrested for that.<\/p>\n
I just want her to have a hat, and I want it to be cool. What\u2019s so wrong with that? Have you seen the tree priestess in your local woods? Does she have a hat? If she doesn\u2019t. please don\u2019t tell me. I don\u2019t think I could bear the disappointment.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
