The Magical Idea of Tree Toning

“He who plants a tree plants a hope.”

Rabindranath Tagore

In a much more modern work, Trees for Healing, Pamela Louise Chase and Jonathan Pawlik independently identified what they called tree ‘soul tones,’ which are said to uniquely resonate with the spirit of each tree. This book is all about trees, their lore and their spirits. It describes techniques for meditation to determine the harmonic resonances for a variety of trees. I believe that the ancient Druids also detected certain harmonic tones for each tree and used then in their Tree Ogham Alphabet. If we use the tones that have been rediscovered by Chase and Pawlik, and combine them with the ancient chants, incantations and songs of Taliesin and Amergin, we may also be able to work powerful Magicks.
