RE: 🌳 The Elder: 🌿A Reminder to Respect Earth's Bounty and a Winter Solstice Musing 💚

in #ecotrain6 years ago (edited)

Exactly. They burnt elder at funerals I think so there's a link I guess with death too. There's a lot of myths and superstitions with this tree. We dont burn ours as they are spindly things. I do love how the myths honour and revere the bounty trees give us and the things they ask us to reflect upon before needlessly ripping down and chucking on a fire though 💚 ... perhaps disregard of old myths and forest lore worldwide has led to some shitty environment destruction.... May not be bad luck but irreverence and ignorance leads to bad things for sure.

Sort:  

One of my favourite sayings is "where focus goes, energy flows", so if you convince yourself something is bad luck, then it probably will be. That said, I'm pretty sure multinational logging companies and governments aren't too concerned with forest lore.

Oh I love that quote and its soooo true!!! Ha yeah.. bastards. Therein lies the problem... 🤔🤔🤔
