This is a true story of one of my unexpected experiences with the human-faced tree messenger and the final consequences.

The difference in this one to others I have seen is this tree spirit was able to shapeshift to look totally human.

I was reminded of this mysterious encounter after replying to a post by @kaminchan about an centuries old banyan tree in Bangkok where the local folks leave gifts for the tree spirits. In his reply to me, Kaminchan thought I should do a post on my sighting of a tree spirit.

An excerpt from his post:

”Since people believe that angels, tree spirits and other high level guardians may be living in the old banyan tree, they could perhaps ask them to help with their problems or grant them blessings.”

Different cultures have many different ways of honoring the forest and the magical beings residing there by leaving small gifts, hugging, chanting, dancing and talking and meditating under a tree.

There is a belief our spirit goes into trees when we die. The ancient Celts believed they came from trees. I guess that’s the same belief in reverse. Perhaps this belief is embedded in our DNA as it is becoming popular to plant a tree in memory of a loved one.

It’s true there are many things between heaven and earth we do not understand or want to acknowledge.

As humans only so much can be seen with the naked eye but sometimes we are granted glimpses into other dimensions. Many of theses glimpses can come through dreams, intuitions and sometimes a shadow seen briefly at the corner of the eye.

The druids of olden days and our native Indian people had great respect and honor for trees. They knew the earth was sacred and referred to it as the Mother Goddess. They talked to the tree spirits and even asked permission to walk under them.

I was not afraid this nature tree spirit was some evil boogie man. I only wanted to understand why the spirit materialized to me in a tree along my friend’s driveway.

I had my phone with me and took photos.

My first sighting of the nature tree spirit was in June of 2019. I was leaving my friend’s driveway and my eyes were drawn to the first of the birch trees that lined the left side of the driveway.

A tiny face was looking out of the tree.I stopped to take a photo and thought it was great my friend had a nature spirit guardian right there along the driveway.

Later that fall I noticed the face had changed and I thought a mourning shroud was halfway up the face. I could clearly see the hairline of the tree spirit. The mourning shroud did concern me as my friend had told me she was having breathing problems.

I sadly knew this was a forerunner letting me know the seriousness of my friend’s health and it seemed the tree spirit was also grieving.

By Christmas my friend, Connie, was hooked up to oxygen 24-7 and eventually was in palliative care at the local hospital.

Sadly Connie passed in March of this year. This was about six months after the second tree spirit revealed itself to me.

🌲 The next time you hug a tree there might be more there than bark and foliage.🎄
