Evergreens are inherently healing & magical. Their beauty, life force and vitality is effortless and strong in the coldest, darkest and longest of winters. Everyone can sense this…who hasn’t enjoyed a long, deep inhale in the middle of an evergreen forest (or a Christmastime living room)? Invigorating, stimulating, purifying and grounding all at once.
Christmas Trees have Pagan roots as Yule Trees decorated at the Winter Solstice, the darkest day of the year marking the return of the Sun.
Evergreens weave together the magic of Yule & the Winter Solstice (Celtic Spirituality and the Wheel of the Year), the magic of Nature, and the spirit of Christ Consciousness, grace & unconditional love. And for those who us raised with Christmas, evergreens connect us with the enchantment of magic of childhood possibility.
Speaking of Magic, evergreens have powerful healing and metaphysical properties. They can be used to cleanse & clear energy and also as vibrational support in Ritual Magick.
