Hello everyone!
First of all, I want to thank @BryWisteria and @Kasandra for creating this beautiful challenge. This is one of the things that was on my to-do list.
Last Saturday I went to a place called “Lago de Tota” near where I live to thank mother earth for many things before I move. Walking by nature, I look down the floor and felt how a bough of a tree laying on the floor called my attention, I immediately picked it up. The guide guy said it was a part of an Alder tree, and that tree attracts water, I found it in an isle located in the middle of the lake.
Today, I’ve studied the links about the trees and their importance to the Irish and Celts and found beautiful info about the Alder tree and its powers, this is definitely going to be the wood for my new wand! Besides all that, I’ve learned so much about trees in general, more about Irish Ogham, sacred trees, the vine tree that is sacred in my birth month, and much more! I’m now planning to carve this beautiful Alder bough into a powerful wand very soon.
Here’s a pic of the lake:
And some of my wand-to-be:
Thanks, again for this amazing challenge
Happy Wolf Full Moon!
