The two younger oaks that sit on the other side of the bowl will become the focus. There's no need to plant anything else. They were undoubtedly from acorns of the original oak. Are you sure it was idiots with candles though? I'm hearing another side to it.
My friend Robert Bevan Jones, author of 'The Ancient Yew', suggested that many people over the years must have taken cuttings from the oak which must now be thriving. Could an appeal in the relevant local and esoteric media perhaps result in a replacement being discovered? Usually with such a venerable tree there are already living descendants adjacent, which could be transplanted to the original spot, and protected and venerated in their turn. The crass stupidity of people in this fallen time is the real tragedy
Absolute bell ends! If the people who made that campfire have caused the tress destruction! - from the video its likely the obvious conclusion. Really disappointed..
2020 is a year of reckoning. The old world age is passing, as the new world (age) is crowning. Can we raise funds to have a stout white leaf oak transplanted in its stead? The Lord of the Trees exists outside of Time entirely, and the sooner we replant (in the present) the better.
Would be wonderful to plant an Oak as a replacement, as long as it’s stock-proofed and regularly watered, we can’t ‘plant and forget’ anymore, climate change has seen to that!
I am sure there has already been a new tree planted a while ago. The last time we were there there was a sap planted further around. It was looking healthy enough in February. I am really quite upset about this our family have spent many a afternoon with a packed lunch up there.
@@johnhancock5457 one was planted: I saw it last week, protected by netting. Don't know if survived the fire as it was fairly close to the Old One.....
Stephanie Rose Yes, I think it’s self-set as it’s on very rocky ground, I didn’t mention it incase it gets burnt down as well....even though it’s 6 inches high
I’m utterly devastated about this. Disappointed. Angry. There are some real issues to be addressed about people not respecting the countryside or indeed anyone else but themselves.
Great Malvern Yoga Our veteran and ancient trees are not protected enough in this country, they should be awarded the same protection as a grade 1 listed building
My great great grandfather was a master farrier in the area, he and his 3 sons (one my gt grandfather) were Druids who worshipped there, the acorn bronze staff heads are still in the family, they rode over there on their horses from Powick. I am devastated it was part of my family history
Stephanie rose my friend visited and the baby oak is fine so all is not lost x so sad to see that magical oak go but maybe it's a rebirth and it chose to go x on a very special full moon eclipse night too x so many magical memories of it over the years and still a sacred place and gone back to the land from which it grew x feel its asking us to look after mother earth with respect as seems to be the theme this year to wake us up x bless you dear old oak in your transforming xxxxxx
Thank you, Jane Wright. I am relieved to hear baby oak is safe. And agree the Old One chose an auspicious night to leave us! Perhaps that was why the people came for their fire? When I visited last week, I was sad to see She had died - no leaves at all, and a big bough fallen. Birth, life, death. But still grief at the loss.....
Be careful not to suggest that those who venerate the tree are responsible for destroying it. Pagans know to look after the nature that we worship and many of us are from conservation backgrounds.
Given the trees fame, it would have attracted all types not just neo pagans. Could just as easily been a group of people hanging out there. Most pagans know to clear up after themselves afterwards. However going by the walks in my local woods, the youngsters, drinkers, and drug users with their little camps don't.
I walked up there the other day and about 100 meters before there I saw a strange Pink object about 1 foot in diameter on a mowed bit of grass. . Any ideas what it was ?

So angry. So sad. We've now lost several veteran trees to the very same act of stupidity. The largest oak I've ever seen, Gog, at the foot of Glastonbury Tor, and a veteran yew on Wychebury Hill by Stourbridge. When I lived in Malvern I went to the tree regularly. Please let the remains lie there at peace, and may they serve as a reminder.
On my first encounter with this beautiful sacred tree, late 90s, I found several dead lambs inside and duly returned with gloves, bags, etc. and buried them. If it wasn't accidental, the local farmer and fanatical anti-pagan Christians are top of the list of suspects. Here's a video that captures a little of the mood around the tree from 2013: ruclips.net/video/I8AS56Cq9j0/видео.html
This is so sad to see. I planned to visit the tree and walk on Raggedstone Hill after lockdown but will never see it in all its splendour. Thank you so much for the videos especially last years with the drone footage. It serves as a poignant epitaph for a historic tree.
It is very sad to see, I'm grateful I was able to make a pilgrimage to this wonderful tree before this happened. Too many people have fallen dangerously out of touch with nature and their spiritual, higher selves, the world is becoming an idiocracy of artificial intelligence. During lockdown kids took a barbecue up onto the tinder-dry moorland near my parents' house in Darwen and ended up causing a raging fire which burned for 5 days straight, killing untold baby birds and other wildlife. In this case they were mortified and owned up, which is something, but there is too much carelessness, as you say, who lights a fire near to tinder like this :-(
@@johnhancock5457 I think people are very very lost, being led like sheep into something perhaps akin to what Rudolph Steiner called the Eighth Sphere, like a soul harvesting machine....we need a Good Shepherd now more than ever
Can we at least do something with it's remains? I have a company called Rooted Relics where I make detailed carvings and mementos. Is anything salvageable? This is so sad!!!!
Thank you for this, so very sad to see this wonderful Tree no more. Wonder if anyone else can visualise an Old sad face in the burning embers at the end.

John, Thanks for the video and for showing the Truth to so many of us. A magical energetic place, changed but not destroyed.
2020 is a year of reckoning. The old world age is passing, as the new world (age) is crowning. Can we raise funds to have a stout white leaf oak transplanted in its stead? The Lord of the Trees exists outside of Time entirely, and the sooner we replant (in the present) the better.
Just what I was thinking too.

Could someone collect the ash up for a potter to make an ash glaze to decorate pottery with as a memento?
Jim Cooper - There is plenty of it Jim!
Very good idea.
That's tragic. I have a lovely photo of my late dear twin brother Paul in that tree smiling like a Cheshire cat. Mark
Devastated! Did you notice if the baby oak that was protected by netting nearby survived? Was only there last week; just can't believe it's gone!

Thanks for the video! I no longer live in Malvern but was fortunate to visit it on a number of occasions.

Don't people know it is not allowed to have fires on land without permission.
So angry.

Barbara Hulse Thanks for your comments, yes it was good timing, I also have many wonderful photographs:)
Unfortunately the lovely old oak had been spoiled by people hanging rubbish on it many years ago.
People are clearly drawn to the outside and natural world but don't have the knowledge to be there safely. Neither for themselves or nature.
This tree was a symbol of the old and ancient order of the world.
Didn't even put the fire "out cold". Don't know fire safety. I hope it wasn't intentional

Charlotte C This is why I want to run away from the human race as far as possible, I’m tired of all this hatred and distraction 😔

Deeply sad. Humans are pooh!
Absolutely devastated at the loss of this ancient tree
Thanks for info. Sad to See it thou
Thank you for this, so very sad to see this wonderful Tree no more.
Wonder if anyone else can visualise an Old sad face in the burning embers at the end.
That is so devastating! I hope they find who did it. 😪x
Very sad to see John, hopefully someone will own up to it.
