Druids loved and revered them.

Faeries live in them and protect them viciously (if necessary).

What makes the Oak Tree so special?

This week, we share a true, modern tale of Faerie from Pennsylvania where tree-dwelling, green-furred Faerie offered up a powerful display of aggression and disruption, for to protect an Oak Tree. This tale will have you thinking twice before planning to build a backyard Treehouse.

The mighty Oak Tree has been a part of the natural world for millions of years. A 700-year-old oak tree might leave us Humans breathless, but to the Faerie, it might still be considered a youngster.

But we discover the Oak trees are more than just old friends to the Good People, through true tales and some gentle musing, we find that the Faerie and the Oak tree might enjoy a symbiotic connection. Physical and Spiritual.

Sounds curious doesn’t it? Well join me for a chat, you’re guaranteed to be surprised by this collection of tales which show an altogether different side to the Good People. you may never look at the Oak tree the same again…
