| | Spirits of the Wild Places |
| | Trees were linked to the earth cults and often used for both communication with the gods - as in the sacred groves - or for divination. | | | Trees were crowned like Kings and decorated as symbols of the gods, or thought of as gods themselves. | | | It was under a pipal tree that Siddhartha Gautama (born 566 BCE) meditated until he attained enlightenment (Nirvana) and became the Buddha. |

| | CHAPTER - THE SPIRIT FRUCTIFYING |
| | “In the figure of the Vine, the Holy Spirit is not mentioned, but in comparing Himself to the Vine and His disciples to the Branches, the Tree corresponds to the Body, and the Life to His Spirit. | | | The commentators are not agreed as to whether Christ is speaking to His Spouse in verse 15, or whether She is there heard replying to what He had said in verses 12-14. | | | For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations” ( Isaiah 61:3,11). |

| | Myth and spirit of trees |
| | The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." (Genesis 2:9) Gautama Siddhartha stayed under a tree to attain enlightenment, and became the Buddha. | | | In a symbol oddly reminiscent of Christ's crucifixion, Odin, the supreme Norse god and creator, hung upside down on the tree for nine days and nine nights without food, bearing a self-inflicted wound from his own spear. | | | Until the practice was outlawed in the 1960s, villagers would commonly raid and execute entire neighbouring communities, bringing home the severed heads and hanging them for display. |

| | Spirit, Energy, Matter & Trees ... |
| | Trees just seem to have a connected-ness to the world that we don’t. | | | The first is Yggdrasil, the world tree of Norse mythology, that connects the nine worlds. | | | The natives in my country, Mapuches base their organization and their beliefs around a Tree, that's sacred for them, the Araucaria these trees take hundreds of years to get to their adult stage and the Mapuches believe that it's sacred for them, that it protects them, they also feed from its fruits. |

| | Boston's Christmas Trees Express Warm Holiday Spirit |
| | Not just one type of religion or people was represented, but instead, humanity was represented, as was the idea that the holiday season ought to spread happiness, cheer, generosity, and love from all people to all people. | | | As evidenced by the Boston Christmas trees, the holiday season knows no boundaries in terms of title, religion, race, or sex -- its spirit is enough to allow us to realize and express love for humanity. | | | The time allows us to reflect on the tradition of the season, the goodwill and generosity of mankind, individual mementos and their histories, and the times we have had and will spend with family and loved ones. |

| | Spirit of Trees – Home |
| | Where trees meet the spiritual paths of human kind | | | Over the last centuries Western society has created a mental split between itself and nature, as well as between matter and spirit, which, together with a deconsecration of the land and its natural life, has brought the whole world to the very edge of an irreversible ecological crisis. | | | A deeper look at nature and at what we have lost in the past are steps to heal the split inside us – and thus to heal this beautiful planet and re-establish its essential glory; to create a world in which all species – human, animal and plant – can flourish. |

| | BGSU -- Dedication of Mall, Historic Japanese Trees Will Celebrate the Spirit of International Unity |

| | Native American Flutes by Cedar Spirit |
| | All our totems are consciously created - From the very beginning of Cedar Spirit Flutes I noticed a dramatic difference in the ease and flow of my carving when I asked the Spirit of the animal or being I was carving to come into the wood. | | | I like to think of this as carving in four dimensions because there is definitely spirit in each of these pieces; I consciously and lovingly invite it in. | | | Since then I have become very aware that each and every living thing has a spirit, an angel, an energy - call it what you will. |

| | The Book |
| | Moore’s message is based on personal experience - as a member of a family that has been logging on northern Vancouver Island for three generations - and as a lifelong environmentalist who was a co-founder and long-time leader of Greenpeace. | | | A personal essay in words and photographs, it gives us new eyes with which to see the land, exploring the beauty, biodiversity and spirit of forests growing back after logging. | | | By linking forests, biodiversity conservation, and climate change into a unified understanding of the global environment he shows that the apparent logic of saving the forests by cutting fewer trees and using less wood is actually an anti-environmental proposition. |
