I ...I agree and my wording in the question was bad. I agree that all trees have their own Natural Spirit and the word "haunted" should instead be reserved when the trees are inhabited by spirits other than their own. Like in the cases where the obsessed dead attach themselves to the trees. In the tradition I work within the Black Ironwood tree is for example known to be like a magnet for the dark and obsessed dead. It attracts the souls of suicides, murderers and murder victims and is fed with blood on each Good Friday in order to lend its powers to the workings later done with his (the Spirit of the tree's) aid. So, that tree has its own spirit, which is a dark and powerful one, but it is also most often haunted by the evil ghosts. <br /><br />Very good for black magic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803643713048527093.post-2751037358588082882012-10-04T20:41:09.084-07:002012-10-04T20:41:09.084-07:00Here are the rituals:

Some are stronger than others. However not all trees to be haunted, there are special circumstances that will make a tree haunted.<br /><br />It is not difficult to boost the power of spirits, just give them fresh blood and incense smoke. Be careful if you want to do that.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093729754470534731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803643713048527093.post-21219714596879535802012-10-04T13:52:46.411-07:002012-10-04T13:52:46.411-07:00That old movie called Banana Spirit is fun, but it...That old movie called Banana Spirit is fun, but it does depict a folkloric ritual that in some aspects is authentic, does it not?<br /><br />I mean the red cord between the tree and the summoner and the offering of blood and incense in order to call forth the dryadic succubus of the Banana tree. <br /><br />Do you know the whole procedure for that ritual?<br /><br />Also, in traditions I am familiar with the animist view is that ALL trees have spirits and that these spirits can be good or bad depending on how and why they are approached. Is the perspective the same in for example Thailand, that All trees have spirits, or do they believe that only some trees are haunted? <br /><br />Have you any experience with the Banana spirit talismans made by some Thai masters? Are they only lucky charms or do they actually connect to the mentioned Spirit?<br /><br />Also, have you heard about the rituals used in order to boost the power of certain spirit- talismans by burying them by the banana tree? <br /><br />Thanks for another good post.
