Trees have inspired a very special magical alphabet and divinatory
system, Ogham. This beautiful and mysterious writing system is very
much a part of the world of the Celts. Its association with the God
Ogma points to its importance to the Celtic priesthood known as the
Druids and their nature wisdom, their ancient and magical
relationship with trees and with sacred groves. Woods have this
ability to rejuvenate and heal, to smooth away stress and anxiety,
and as you linger under the trees a dreamlike quality develops, and
you find your mind drifting in ways associated with the practice of
meditation, the brainwave patterns change, and the rhythms of your
body seem to slow and strengthen. Come with us for a walk in the
woods, explore the primeval forests of the mind, meet the beautiful
and magical trees of the world, and find out how they might
communicate their wisdom to us.
