Beech – Prosperity

For wishes to be granted one must communicate truly what is needed or desired. It is the intent that is the secret ingredient, you must take an active part. Step through the opening doors and keep your eye focused firmly on that dream. If this vision involves a partnership, whether romantic or practical, make this commitment public . If it involves material gain, go through the traditional channels of knowledge and education.

There is a fineness to the timber of the Beech. A hard wood with an elegant grain. A lightness of colour that enriches with care and age. The canopy is dense so little grows directly beneath. The foliage and the nuts were good fodder. Beech nut oil was once commonly used for both cooking and domestic tasks.

The Beech was linked in folklore to granting wishes. Today it might be called the graffiti tree because people would traditionally carve their wishes into the tree or write spells on the wood. This is was seen in later times with lovers putting their intials in the bark.
