Honorary Tree. Its a long story.

It must be pretty obvious  by now that I have an affinity for Trees. I love being near them and can talk endlessly about  their power, their energy, the significance and information they bring. Their presence anchors into the earth the energy from the heavens.

I  believe there is much much more to them then we can see.  However I know that not everyone is as captivated by trees as I am, so I tend not to go on and on about them.

On a personal level, I talk to trees, telepathically of course. This tree thing has always been with me but  over the last few years it has become more conscious.  Only old people look at trees and flowers (smile) ..and so this love of trees has come as I have grown older and a small bit wiser. 
I do remember  as a child, there was one place where we played. It was a woodland area, beyond a fence in our local park.  We shouldn't have actually been there because it was fenced off, but we managed to scramble through a hole in the wire fencing.  When I played there I could always feel a  very strange energy but as a child, I couldn't put words to this experience. I knew however it was a special energy, an intense and sometimes disorientating energy.

I had a very special experience during a meditation recently which I am going to share. I am not sure why I am going to share this but maybe someone out there needs to hear about the ramblings of my meditations...whoever you are you will know. Don't worry I wont go into marathon descriptions.....

So, on this occasion, I entered into meditation with the intention of healing, myself primarily, because recently I have been overwhelmed with adrenalin rushes alternating with  fatigue,  topped  nicely with some head crushing symptoms at night, which I take to be Ascension symptoms.

During the meditation I went into the earth, by that I mean like, lying on top of the earth in a place I know well and just, well being absorbed into the earth, or by being embraced and welcomed into the earth..(er too much information ??)  Anyway, being deep inside the earth I met with the mother of the earth, (or Mother Earth, or a sublime mothering feminine energy). I wont go into detail about what happened as it is very extensive and involves my contribution in healing my cultural psyche.

Anyway after this extensive healing, (which I too benefitted from, as  helping heal a cultural psyche helps everyone including the earth), the mothering energy,( or mother earth), wrapped me in loving energy and I could feel her address me by a name, which is not mine.  In the meditation I was am not sure if this was a new name for me, or if it is was a name I may have been known by before. Anyway, Normally this sort of thing doesn't happen so I was very intrigued.

When I came out of the meditation, I tried to get information on the name, Daragh, or Dara. I know its Irish but usually its for a boy. I looked up sites to get a definition and to my delight its Irish for Oak Tree.  Dara is the name of the Ogham letter,  ancient Irish writing which means Oak Tree.

 I looked up a few Tree web/blog sites for anything  might explain why I would have this name, or anything on what is known  spiritually about  the Oak Tree. I found quite a few sites but nothing that answered why that name might be assigned to me, in my meditation.  Sometimes information or insights come a short while after a meditation,  so for now I will just play with the images and light that fall into my mind when I reflect on this.

 I am aware of how strange this post might seem, I am sharing the delight of having a 'name' assigned me.  You see over the years, I know of some people who felt,  spiritually it was time to change their name, to a self chosen one, which now matches  their new,  elevated, spiritual vibration.

So folks, it  looks like someone chose a name for me, AND it looks like, I am now an honorary tree.  

I Like it.
