The Disclaimer: First, I do not practice any form of Native American spirituality. My practice is derived from my understanding of ancient northern Eurasian practices. Second, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of any Asatru or Heathen group. I do not identify as Asatru or Heathen. I am a northern-tradition Pagan, which is a religious tradition that is reconstructionist-derived, rather than a reconstructionist religious tradition such as Asatru and/or Heathenry. The views espoused in these pages may or may not reflect the views of most Asatru and/or Heathen people or religious groups. They are derived from the personal gnosis of myself and other people whom I trust and respect. I do not claim that they are provable by academic sources, nor that they are anything other than what I say they are. Read at your own risk.
(Linda Demissy says: This song
was taught to me by my tree. It is meant to be sung in chorus with a tree
spirit, to bond with it, but it can also be used simply as a ritual chant.)
I am Tree
I am Tree,
my bark is thick
I am roots, fed from the Well
I am bud, and branch alight
I am Tree.
