However,
I'm someone with a few 'hobby horses' (or in my case:
broomsticks?), which not all tree
lovers or green activists may resonate to, so I decided to indulge
myself and create 'Anna's Groovy Grove'. This will be a place for some more personal stuff and reflections.
Tree Medicine, for example, has always been a special area of
interest all through my adult life to the extent that I've been
thinking for a lot of years now of the possibility of creating a
"Foundation for British Tree Medicine". So you will find
a lot of information on the healing properties of British Trees
here and I hope to extend this much further, whenever I can find
the time to process my many note books, scraps of paper and other
info I've collected over long years.
No
doubt you will also notice, if you read some of the articles
I've written for The-Tree, that I'm a Pagan by Nature. This means
to me that I feel that the Earth is a living creature and that all
physical substance, as well as energies carry consciousness. Are
probably the manifestation of some bit of consciousness.
My 'sacred
book' is the unfolding of Nature all around me and I believe that
Divine Consciousness (or whatever you prefer to call 'it'), is
present in everything, the creatures, the water, the air, the
stones and the soil. To me all names are God's/Goddess' names.
I appreciate that many people do not agree with this Pagan view and some do not care
at all about religion.
Whatever your beliefs, I hope you will feel
welcome at The-Tree website. Any contributions describing how your
own spirituality relates to Nature and the Trees are of course
most welcome and will balance my own!
Personally, I have gained tremendous riches learning about the
great treasure of religious beliefs we have on this Earth and I respect the immense wisdom, tradition and beauty that lies at the
root of all religions. Just such a shame we don't practice it!
I have a particular soft spot for Buddhism,
because of its lovely qualities of non-violence, great compassion
and tolerance.
Anyhow,
the offerings in this grove are some of the issues I feel
passionately about. There will be more in the future, so if you
like what you find here, please visit again.
May all
beings be happy!
Blessed Be and love to all of you!
