- Ash Represents water, Marriage of opposites, linking inner and
outer worlds, mental clarity. Used in healing, protection and sea magic.
Ash is the link between the inner and outer worlds. We are able to
function in deep, watery places, in the realms of the underworld.
It is our flexible, psychic strength. It is the weave of fate and
the guardian of peace. Take care to see things in their larger context.
Note how all actions have their reactions and note how you affect the world
with your actions, physical and spiritual. Take bold action when action
is called for. The challenge of Ash is the determination of hidden
influences and appearances. Things are not always as they seem and
you must be perceptive enough to see what is noble. There is a tendency
to separate yourself or be cut off from the world.
The third tree of the year.
It is sacred to Poseidon in Greece. It was used as charm against drowning.
Emigrants in Ireland took ash with them when leaving to go to America after
the Potato Famine. In Britain it is the tree of birth. Druid
wands were made of ash. The Great Ash Yygdrasill, sacred to Oden,
was taken from Triple Goddess as per Scandanavian legend and used to dispense
justice. Ancient Wales and Ireland oars were made of ash. The
shade of the ash tree is said to be harmful to plants because ash roots
will strangle other roots. It is called the Tree of Sea Power (resident
in all water) Tree for the month of floods.
