Moon Day - the Day of Remembering and Feeling. There are minor magickal energies for doing spells and rites for domestic issues, and for the feminine.
Tree Knowledge
Trees are magical entities, each species having different properties and being used in different ways.
Every person has one or more trees that are special to them, even though they may not have found them yet. In the Craft a personal tree becomes a Sacred Space in its own right, as well as a place where we can draw on the energies of the Elements in a very direct way. These personal trees may change over time just as we change as go through life.
First, you need to select a tree. Take your time and look at many different kinds and specimens. When you feel you have found the type of tree you feel at home with, it will pay to spend a little time with several examples of its kind. Sit beneath each with your eyes closed; look on the ground for any signs which may indicate that it has chosen you. One such would to catch a falling leaf, or to find a twig with leaves and perhaps the 'fruit' of the tree. When you have chosen your tree, or it has chosen you, create a plait of several of your hairs and bury it beneath the tree, taking away a small piece of wood, fruit, or leaves. These provide a link between you and the tree. Also place an offering of honey and raisins beneath its boughs.
Get to know your tree, making regular visits and spending time in meditation and contemplation under it. Take photographs or make sketches and drawings of it. Learn to see it in all its moods and seasons.
