The Tree

It's a well known fact that the Christmas tree originated in Germany during the 16th century... But what some may not know, is that the decorating of trees during Solstice was a Pagan tradition, celebrated throughout Europe as early as the 4th century... And something new that I learned today, is that the ancient Romans also adopted the decorating with evergreens and branches during the festival of Saturnalia. Everytime I connect with a tree or tree parts I feel enormous gratitude and healing. - I grew up as a Catholic, married young as a born again Christian...(divorced) But my whole life, the only truth that resonated for me was one of a deep connection to earth. As a young adult until now.. Ive grown into my spiritual becoming, and revere the days of old, the days of earth spirituality.. when we connected deeply with all that is alive. Many traditions and festivals across multitudes of religions began with Paganism...which personally I think is amazing! And no, I don't follow whole Pagan traditions-- #SBNR (edited)
