SUMMARY:Oak Moon: Celtic Tree Calendar
DESCRIPTION:The longest day of the year and the shortest night fall during the Oak Moon. Known as the Summer Solstice, celebrations revolve around the power of the Sun at its zenith. Folklore decrees that “He who sleeps on the shortest night shall sleep all year”, meaning that this is a time for action not rest.\nMagical solar energy\nEnergy at this time should concentrate on areas of life that fall under sunny auspices such as health, success, prosperity, and blessings. Cast energy that injects solar flare into your projects by decorating you home with gold and yellow. Wear orange to boost your vitality and stamina.\nOften linked with the fairies and ghosts, Midsummer brings the perfect opportunity to summon assistance from the spirits. Ask for help to being beneficial results from creative plans.\nA tree of healing and peace\nThe oak can be used as a haven for restoration. When your spirit needs rest and comfort it can be soothed beneath the tree’s vast branches and many sacred rituals were conducted in the shadow of an oak tree in Ancient Britain. Meditating with your spine resting on the trunk of an oak tree soothes the nervous system and induces feelings of inner peace.\nBrave energy\nOak trees conduct the energy of endurance and strength, offering a magical remedy for fear and despair. They bring courage and protection from adversity.\nCommunity tree\nThe great size and age of the oak made it a symbol of the continuity of the community. The water that collects in the dips in its branches was though to be sacred and used to cleanse and heal the body of negative energy.\nOak Moon Energy\nFeel energised by the power of the Sun and oak during this energetic time of year. Harness powerful solar energies for Oak Moon work to bring cheer and success to your life.\nAn oak vision quest\nGo on a vision quest during the Oak Moon and spend time in nature to receive messages from the oak tree. For best results carry out this quest at the time of the Summer Solstice to enhance your insight with the energy of the Sun. As you’ll need to spend a night outside for this quest it’s best to do it with a friend.\n\nGo to a hilltop where both sunset and sunrise will be clearly visible.\nBegin the quest at sunset, ending at sunrise.\nAs the Sun falls from the sky say a prayer to the great oak tree for guidance.\nLook out for signs, such as animals that cross your path, or shooting stars.\nKeep a record of your feelings and thoughts throughout the quest.\nAt sunrise give thanks for what you have received from the natural world.\n\nOak Moon activities\nAs the Sun reaches the height of its power in the month of Oak, so the energy of the natural world – and your own spirits – will soar. Use this abundant feeling of vitality to attune yourself to the season and engage in some of these activities.\n\nDance outside in the Sun – it’s so energising.\nGo for a walk every day and enjoy the long, light summer evenings.\nKeep an acorn from the autumn and use it as a charm during the Oak Moon.\nHave a gold themed dinner to celebrate the Sun.\nBury a letter to the fairies under an oak tree, detailing your summer wishes.\nWear an oak leaf in your hair to bring you luck.\nKiss an oak tree to increase your attractiveness.\n\nSolar success energy\nMake a wish during the Oak Moon and imbue it with solar energy. You’ll need to choose a wishing symbol, such as a coin for wealth.\nYou will need:\n\nGold candle and matches\nSymbol of your intention\nOak leaves\n\n\nHold the gold candle towards the sky and say, “Power of the Sun enter this candle. May the flame of success burn brightly”. Place the candle in a holder next to your intention symbol.\nSurround the candle with oak leaves and say, “Mighty oak tree, lend me your strength”\nLight the candle and make your wish, then let the candle burn down – success will soon be yours.\n\nA purification ritual\nYou can burn oak leaves to purify the atmosphere and banish fear and doubt.\nYou will need:\n\nSmall bottle of wine\nBasket\nPestle and mortar\nNeedle and thread\nFireproof bowl\nCharcoal disc and matches\n\n\nOn the night after the full moon go to an oak tree and pour a libation of wine onto the roots, asking the tree for its help.\nGather a basket of leaves and sew them together, then hang up the leaves to dry out for three days.\nWhen the leaves have dried, carefully remove the thread and pound the leaves with a pestle and mortar into incense. Light the charcoal in the fireproof dish.\nWhen it glows red add the dried leaves to create an energetic purification smoke.\n\n
