Pt 1 - Tree lore, tree work & paying respects to the primordial world tree
The image of a universal tree, filled with life and supporting our world, is a common theme in a vast number of mythologies and folk beliefs. It was rarely seen as a “deity” in an of itself, but rather a mystical, sacred sort of being. It is a symbol of wisdom, the spirit world, healing, the circle of life, and even sometimes, immortality. It can be found namely in Native American, Siberian and Indo-Europpean spiritualities. It is also mentionned in middle eastern and Asian writings. In Europe, this tree is usually seen as an oak (more specifically in Baltic, Slavic and Finnish mythologies). On the other hand, Hellenic lore depicts it as an olive tree, though the ancient Greeks viewed the oak as holy as well due to its tight association with the god Zeus.

Pt 2 - Tree lore, tree work & paying respects to the primordial world tree
In the Norse lore, this tree is an ash called Yggdrasill, “Óðinn’s steed”. This surprising etymology may refer to the Allfather’s unique connection to the tree: according to his myth, he hung himself from the branches of Yggdrasill in order to attain the purest form of self-reflection and to gain ultimate knowledge. One of his lesser known stories depicts him, riding down the tree to reach Helheim and bargain with the Queen of the dead for his son’s life. According to Nordic mythology, the nine worlds were scattered along this primordial tree, with Midgard in the Middle, Mimir’s well and the Norns at its root, and Asgard in its heights.
In most stories, the primordial tree is divided into two important spaces: its branches and heights, where holy creatures dwell, and its roots, which represent either the underworld or the lesser supernatural beings (often reptiles or some sort of primordial “monster”). Between them can we find the world of men. Due to the association of this sacred tree with spirituality, trees have become places of worship in many cultures. From this stemmed a very rich tree lore in which figs, pines, oaks, olives, cypresses, yews and sequoias, among others, were seen as sacred because of their immensity and resilience. Faeries and/or forest spirits (varies depending on the culture) were said to live within such trees. For this reason, Irish farmers tended not to cut down trees that stood in the middle of their fields so as to not attract bad luck. Within Slav tradition, the oak was seen as the holiest of trees and violence was thus forbidden when in presence of one.
Finally, there is another cultural reason behind tree worship: knowledge of their healing properties in traditions worldwide. This or that tree was used to cure this or that condition, which gave woodland an increasingly central role in community health. Respects are thus paid because of admiration or gratefulness, and from there, a complex cult to trees was developed in numerous regions. In the end, we need trees, and our ancestors knew this. We need them for food, oxygen, shade, shelter, soil, which is why we should want to give back to them.

🌿Those connected to their Ethnic Folk heritage are extremely hard to corrupt because their spirituality isn't transmuted through a book. It comes from inside you. From your blood and your spirit and heart and the land. It's always there if you just listen.

Love the land you reside upon. If you don't, then find somewhere that stirs your soul and you connect with. This is part of making your family and people stronger. Wood and Stone, Blood and Bone.
