The Ash Tree

Often referred to as The World Tree, the Tree of Life or Yggdrasil, the Ash tree has always been seen as a tree of great strength. There is the story from the mists of time that when a woman was pregnant and birth was very near, she and her husband would go into the forest seeking out an Ash tree. The father would construct a lean-to adjoining the tree trunk in which the couple would reside until the birth of their child. When the day arrived the father would take three Ash leaves and construct a vessel with which he would collect either the first dew or rainwater falling from the tree’s leaves after the child was born. He would sip first, then the mother and then child forming a trinity between them as well as uniting them to the tree’s strength. This strength was not exhibited in aggression or anger but rather acceptance. Their bond with each other and with the tree allowed them to see each other for who they were rather than for what was expected of them. Understanding and acceptance were, indeed, their true strength.

When disagreements in family life, or in any situation, arise do not judge or condemn. Rather call on the wisdom and strength of the Ash Tree to help you to both see and understand the other person’s point of view. Look at your own viewpoint from which your beliefs arise; do these viewpoints need tweaking or healing? Life is a journey; make it both helpful and joyful. Ask for the help of the Ash when needed to make life the exceptional, magical journey it is meant to be. ❤
