The Oak

[SlavaPiorun]

Many pre-Christian cultures considered the oak sacred. Frazer's Golden Bough describes at length how the Greeks, Romans, Celts, Slavs, Balts, and Germanic people all venerated it. In my own pagan practice, I consider it very important.

For shelter and shade has the oak tree grown

The ship, the cradle, the hearth, and home

Arms so strong they hold up the sky

Stood so long that the heart can't die

The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart

The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart

The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark

@jantarbuba

Tear the branch and your crops will fail

Break the bough and your fleet won't sail

?It cries when the black rain burns

?Trees die when the seas return

The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart

The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart

The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark

A dozen generations has the oak tree grown

The roots reach deep to the rocks and bones

Arms so strong they hold up the sky

Stood so long that the heart can't die

The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart

The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart

The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark

(Repeated 4 or 5 times)

I can't seem to stop listening to this. It's really a great song, and I love the chant!

[Radiance275]

Great grounding chant, the limbs, the veins, the head and the heart. The Earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark.
