Tree Oracles

Trees have been used a form of symbolism for centuries and as a way of helping us to understand what our subconscious is saying to us: what to allow in, what to let go of and what needs to be seen but is unseen. When we are drawn to a certain tree we can then, by understanding how it can work with us, gain clarity and support.

All things are interwoven in the world, all of us give and receive support to the rest of the world. Trees are one part of that inter-relationship and one that I am constantly driven to understand more about and to work it into a collaboration with my own life development.

As I research, study and understand trees in my own work, my aim is to focus on one in particular, dedicating a page to it here. Based on my own experiences I will share the importance of that tree and the special gift it has to give.

The gorse is a tree that helps us to transform loss and release it by taking it from the solar plexus into the heart. When we release or let go of parts of ourselves, our experiences or loved ones we go through an ending. It is important to acknowledge and work with whatever comes up for us for this ending to complete the circle and allow us to move on in a sensitive and complete manner that works for our highest good.

Ever green and constantly in flower though out the year it is readily available to us to work with whenever those moment of loss or release arrive. It is though the tree of February when the wheel of the year turns to encourage us to look at what we now need to release to align ourselves with the dedications we made at Imbolc and after the season of winter all the inner work we did on ourselves leaves us grown and there are aspects of ourselves we no longer need, that no longer serve us and must be released and/or let go of for our own benefit.

This is not always easy to see what needs to go or to actually release it. If you are called to work with the gorse then you are being asked to look at what no longer serves you and to ask the gorse to transform it taking it from your solar plexus into the heart for a gentle and loving release.

If you are in February then the gorse has the added bonus of starting the fire underneath your dedications and it is said to burn as hot as charcoal does agitating what you have committed to until these dedications are really true and what might hold you back has been identified and released. It is a constant friend indeed.
