Celtic Tree Oracle Draw
(by Sharlyn Hidalgo)
- I shuffled the Celtic Tree Oracle deck 3 times & drew:
-
- 5. Nuin Ash
The Nuin Ash initiates in the fifth lunation of the year. This tree represents the world tree, Yggdrasil, from which the Norse God Odin hung for nine days & nights & was rewarded with the runes. Surrender & compassion are this tree’s message, as it teaches us about receptivity & intuition. Ash invites us to dive deep into our own inner wisdom. It is here that we meet the mystery. This is the place of enchantment & magic: We have the influence of water & the magic of the water sprites & mermaids. We follow the cycles of the moon. We drift into dreams & visions & reverie. The ogham for this tree is Nuin & the letter N.
Upright: When you get Ash in a reading, expect to connect with your own inner tree, which represents your center & connects you with your inner world & the outer world. Here, you experience the meaning of the axiom “As above, so below.” This is a place of great guidance. It links you to universal knowledge & can help you understand yourself – your thoughts, feelings, & actions. To access this knowledge, pay attention to your dreams. Seek communication with your higher self & with divinity. Follow your intuition & the dictates of your higher heart & mind.
The Nuin Ash is less about doing & more about being - & about noticing. Therefore, pay attention to what is showing up in your life. Your outer world reflects your inner world. If you see things that you are not happy with, begin to make changes, Chances within will reflect the outer world: changes without will reflect in the inner world.
You are also encouraged to participate in rituals & ceremonies, so consider seeking spiritual community. If you are immersed in grief, reach out to your community for help so that you don’t drown in your own sorrows. Know that this will pass too. On the other hand, if you are involved in a project, you may have to put in long hours in seclusion to complete your work: you might need to block out the world for some time. If so, you may feel, lonely, but it is worth it to bring your work to fruition.
Perhaps it is time to help someone else. This is often a great balm for one’s own sadness.
