The Oak & The Druid

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- The Oak tree is just one of many magical trees. The Oak is a symbol of strength, wisdom and knowledge and it can be used for many purposes. The druids had profound knowledge of the natural world and we could really do with just a little sprinkle of their wisdom.
I hope that you enjoyed this video and cheers for wasting time reading this as well because I already told you that in the video!

Just found this video today.. we subscribed 30 seconds into it🌳
We are Scottish Irish and my Mum came from a long line of Druids..🌳
Although Christian she spoke fluent Gaelic and taught us.. she also taught us to respect Nature and what she called the Old Ways..
Oaks are our favorite trees and we have many on our property.. 🌳
They are very easy to grow.. actually if you have but one fruiting oak you will have a grove.. then a forest in about 20 years..🌳🌱
When Mum died we were given this land from her and we planted a bunch of acorns and turned about half our acre yard into a small forest!!
You will have no problem growing them.. they are so beautiful when they reach a few feet in height.. the leaves are so huge., amazing how fast they grow..🌳
As children we climbed many of the young oaks my Mum had planted earlier.. these are now beautiful trees.. still remember climbing to the top as far I could go.. and the magical feel of the breeze swaying me about..🌳
Always saddens us knowing that Scotland has been cruelly deforested.. our dream is to see oaks like those in your video preserved and others planted.. reforestation is our passion..🌳
Thank you again for this incredible video.. we wish you the best with growing the oaks 🌳😊

Grandfather Oak is my birth tree according to the Celtic tree calendar. Thank you for sharing such a sacred experience with us. Great camera 🎥 moves, too. It achieved its intention with me, feeling as though I was passing thru a portal 🏵️💫. Blessed be! 🎉🥳🎊🍀💥🙏
"I love the world, but I don't love the day to day nonsense we put up with"
Couldn't agree more Arran.
Your video gave me goosebumps, the music, the scenery, your knowledge and passion.
Soo much love for you Arran of Alba💫💫💫
Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed it
In mystical locations such as this one, we can forget the world for a wee while! I like to think of giants who enjoyed sitting around a campfire ;)
Oh i love it mate!!!!
@@ArranOfAlba Well, you inspired me to write a short story. So, thank you! As for the oaks - why not start a fundraiser that helps you buy/plant new trees?
Sometimes when I read Robert Burns and feeling nostalgic of my small time in Scotland, I comeback here... your videos still impress me and bring me peace, at least this one :)
(Now I remembered the small forest in Anglesey that I visited .... some locals were saying that, that place was the last refugee of the druids on Roman times).
Hope you're doing great dear Arran :))))
Thanks for sharing brother. Ive just returned to my home in Scotland, reading about our ancient roots. So much of the wisdom has been lost through the ages, but always close at hand if we listen. The trees are great teachers. I would love to visit this circle on my travels. I am visiting sacred sites all over the land. Could you let me know where this one is? Keep the spirit moving!
This was amazing, been loving my local landscape. Collected an acorn from Midmar kirkyard. Which is really interesting right next to Balblair standing stane. It's germinated and going to plant it next to the field. Sunhoney stone circle is well worth a visit to a walk away from one another in Aberdeenshire 🤗🤗🤗
You trying to get me over to Aberdee again bud! Lol thanks for the info though!
Fit like Mid Mar kirk and circle is a place I enjoy just being
@@ArranOfAlba Aye come n see the shire
I wonder what animals think we're doing when we talk into electronics.
The animals probably refer to us as the insane gods who took over their world!
they seem to catch on- esp using the cell phone to take pics of them. but that is funny to put it that way😂
Such a happy day to find this new video!! Scotland has the most magical land. I’m pretty sure I left my heart in that spot. You Arran were the person who opened my eyes to the wonder of the tree and all it’s beauty and glory.
So happy you enjoyed it lass! The trees found you bud was nothing to do with me! They shout silently but most cant hear them!
This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot Arran. Greeting you from distant Slovakia where the oaks of old are still growing too...
Thank you for tour videos that I have just discovered. Thank you for bringing to my home a wee bit of the Alba I fell In love with and I am longing to be back to.
Cheers bud, so happy to share the wonderful land i belong too!
Well done!!! Thanks for the beauty and the blossoming wisdom!!!
Tree - mendous. Joking aside I love being in older trees it makes me relax and realise what is important.
Lol i couldnt agree more bud with all real matters theres gotta be a wee bit humour!
We are finding that oak sap is very good in the healing process of leg ulcers that and Norwegian spruce sap mum was part of a study. A few years back
@@pamelaadam9207 That sure doesnt surprise me bud! The magical world holds the keys. Thanks for watching
Interesting film,channel.is growing nicely arran, keep it up m8 😊
Cheers bud!
Love your passion for the oaks .Your humour is awesome too.
Cheers bud glad you enjoyed it!
💚🌳🌲so green, so mystic. Alba has that combination 😍
Tapadh Leat! Im so happy love my magical land! Are you still in Sweden?
@@ArranOfAlba well I'm still in Denmark haha with the Vikings legacy :D
Oh well i was close! 🤣🤣
@@ArranOfAlba you need just to cross the bridge XD
1000years. Remarkable. From food to medical use. The druids had more knowledge than bill gates. Well done man. Very informative video.
Super setting, love the circle 🙂
Im glad you enjoyed it Ann, very hard location to film as its so very special!
Love watching you tell your stories
Cheers bud, glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you! 🌳💚
Glad another video popped up
Im glad you're glad
I wonder all the stories those oaks could tell. The rituals they were a part of. They truly are great. I’m happy to have some oaks on my land. Let us know how it goes with growing some when you do & tell them stories about their mighty brethren so they grow up big & strong.☺️💚
Thats great to hear bud, i sure will! Ive got some plans so ill keep you all informed! Thanks for watching 👍
I'm vibing with these videos dude! Have always felt connected to Oak even before I found out that it was my birth Ogham haha.. I'm lucky enough to be spending this summer in Scotland (currently in the Outer Hebrides) would love to visit this place at some point, trouble would be getting there using public transport lol
Thanks bud, im so happy you found your tree... i have a differnt ogham but love the great oak more than most! You wont find any oaks in the hebrides thats for sure, the old world was stolen from us. I used to live in North Uist, enjoy your time!
Did you ever end up planting some acorns?:-)
if you have a magic wand, it is supposed to carry all the power of the forest....😶🌫️
Wish I had the amazing accent....I'm like, 5th?6th? Generation Americanized though ...lol
Oooo! My Scottish clan badge has the Oak in it. The motto is Stand Sure. Anderson clan from Kirkaldy Fife. Born and raised in US but the pipes are calling me home.....
Fantastic Deborah, i love how much you cherish your roots!
Do you know that the white oak tree you can build exterior furniture with but the red oak won't work because of the holes in it and it'll rot fasterand the squirrels know the difference too they'll save the White oak acorns and immediately eat the red oak ones 🧐
This is super interesting, my knowledge of the red oak is minimal. Im guessing you are in the big oak country? Are there native white oaks as well?
@@ArranOfAlba yes, there are many where I live in America and I've got one about 10 ft tall in my front yard that I'm sure a squirrel planted 🍻
@@donnysandley6977 Thats awesome man! Those squirrels hard work pays off for nature!
@@ArranOfAlba the oak trees and the squirrels live symbiotically through the communication underground by The oaks using mycelium they all have an overabundance of acorns every few years that the squirrels can't keep up with
Someone please tell me how to learn about druids and becoming one without having to shell out money, as I'm very suspicious of that.
(1) Find a Grove that doesn’t require membership in a formal Order. (2) Hang out with them.
