You can use trees in magick in countless ways, the most basic by touching a tree with both hands, palms flat against the trunk and asking for its particular powers to enter you. This is another way of tuning into the different strengths of various trees.
Collect twigs from different trees or small hand-carved items made of the different woods and use them as charms to bring the powers you need into your life.
You can empower these with salt, incense, candle flame or water if you wish, though the natural wood is already powerful.
Craft fairs are an excellent source of small hand-carved items, as are ethnic stores that give a fair price to crafts people.
Carry a different wood when you need its particular strength.
You can also burn incenses and oils made from different trees (where possible, use natural plant products) and state aloud nine times the power you seek from the tree fragrance as you write your needs in the air with the smoke from an incense stick.
You can eat seeds, nuts and fruits from different trees or use products made from the blossoms in your bath to absorb the magickal strengths into your life. Natural tree, as well as flower and herbal products used in the kitchen give your home protection and harmony – and are much better for the environment than many of the alternatives.
Finally you can burn two or three of the woods in a fire dish, barbecue or open fire to release the qualities you need. Create chants or a simple phrase or two incorporating the names of the chosen trees and what you seek from them.
