The ancient Celts believed the oak trees were sources of profound wisdom. Use this lovely Oak Tree Ritual for Wisdom to seek guidance and knowledge from the majestic oak.
ITEMS NEEDED
dried oak bark and leaves that have fallen naturally to the ground
some water or a local wildflower to be used as an offering
dried sage
fireproof container
matches or lighter
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Find an oak tree that you feel drawn to
2. Give the tree your offering and thank it for its guidance. Sprinkle the tree with water or set the flower on the ground under the tree.
3. Use a mortar and pestle to grind the bark, leaves, and sage together.
4. Place in a heat-proof dish and light on fire. As the smoke rises, focus on connecting with the spirit of the wise oak. Recite the incantation:
"I ask wisdom of this sacred tree,
Truth and guidance I now seek"
5. Meditate and observe the thoughts that come to mind. This is a ritual of self-reflection and inner wisdom, so do not judge yourself. If you are looking for guidance on something specific, try to hold that idea in your mind for a while and then just relax your thoughts and sit peacefully for a while.
6. Once you are done, make sure the smoke and fire are safely extinguished. You may wish to record your thoughts in a journal.
