Thank you so much for this badge. Ogham is the next thing I am learning about along with other ways trees were a part of the Celts & in Ireland. I really enjoyed the entries from everyone about how they use or learned about trees for this challenge and/or to expand their craft.

Yay! Look at all the new Keepers of the Trees we have :deciduous_tree: :partying_face:

Thanks for the shiny new badge (and Iā€™m happy the title works!) Now to go out and learn more about the rest of the trees. It also dawned on me yesterday that the oak, though noblest of trees in Ireland, is also connected to Brigid :laughing: I donā€™t know how I missed it!

Thank you for the badge! As always, love the title of it. :evergreen_tree: I figure by the end of the year Iā€™ll have learned Latin. :wink:

@BryWisteria, like you, I get the feeling that ā€œlife bloodā€ meant sharing a willingness to infuse me with energy. I like your sap idea, too and will have a look to see if there is some within reach. :smiley:

You are very welcome everyone- thanks again for joining in! :partying_face: Congrats to the Keepers of the Trees- may your roots be grounded and may the forest always have your back :deciduous_tree: :heart:

@Ostara Enjoy your lovely new wand, Linda! :magic_wand: :heart:

@MeganB The title works perfectly- thanks again for your great idea, Megan! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: And thatā€™s awesome that you found another connection with the oaks- how exciting!

@Kasandra Thanks again for the challenge theme, Kasandra- and WOW! 52 badges is impressive! Congrats to you on a yearā€™s worth of successful challenges :partying_face:

@Janis Hahaha weā€™re learning Latin together, Janis- the challenges are more educational than I planned for! :laughing: Congrats again on the new connection you nurtured- may your tree companion and neighbor bless you with symbiotic energy, and may you find some sap! I imagine the willingly given sap from the tree would make a wonderful addition to spellwork or an altar :sparkles: :blush:
