Trees: Fare Thee Well in this Place
“We ask for the blessing of the Inner Guardians of the Order and of our
Druid forebears that this Grove might become a truly holy and sanctified place.
We respect and honour and admire you, O trees, for you represent both
Peace and Power - though you are mighty you hurt no creature. Though
you sustain us with your breath, you will give up your life to house, and
warm, and feed, and teach us. We give thanks for your blessing upon our lives
and upon our lands. May you fare well in this chosen place. Awen.”

To the ancients spoke.
But any tree
Will talk to me.”
