But bear in mind that not all trees are friendly... the rule of thumb is that if you find a tree looks strange and make you feel uneasy; then stay away from it. Harmful spirits may attack you if you don't know how to protect yourself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093729754470534731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803643713048527093.post-49245207672644403792012-10-03T10:38:40.387-07:002012-10-03T10:38:40.387-07:00Very interesting and good.
This kind of attitude ...Very interesting and good.<br /><br />This kind of attitude towards the wilderness is the red thread one can find in all spirit-aware cults or cultures. <br /><br />To respect the plant spirits and to give prayers and offerings to them before entering their realm or harvest from them is a very wise approach, as they powers within trees and plants can be both benefic and malefic, all according how they are approached and/or how one in turn become approached by them.<br /><br />Often people seek secret rituals and symbols for getting contact with spirits, when the only thing they need is to go alone into a forest and sit by a tree with some offerings in order to experience the presence of Spirits.<br /><br />I have never had the opportunity to work with the banana tree spirit, but there are many many other trees that possesses similar Dryadic presence. The Willow, the Apple and the Elder tree being a couple of examples. <br /><br />Thanks for the posting. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
