Your Holiday Tree, Magic Sorcery & Tradition.

Your Christmas Tree
That festive spirit in your home.

“When the first Christians arrived in northern Europe, they discovered that their inhabitants celebrated the birth of Frey, the god of the Sun and fertility, adorning a perennial tree, on the date close to Christian Christmas. This tree symbolized the tree of the Universe, called Yggdrasil, in whose crown was Asgard (the abode of the gods) and Valhalla (Odin's palace); and in the deepest roots was Helheim (the kingdom of the dead). Later with the evangelization of these peoples, the converts took the idea of ​​the tree, to celebrate the birth of Christ.

It is said that St. Boniface (680-754), evangelize of Germany, took an ax and cut a tree that represented the Yggdrasil (although it could also be a tree consecrated to Thor), and instead planted a pine, which for being perennial, symbolized the love of God, adorning it with apples and candles. Apples symbolized original sin and temptations, while candles represented the light of Jesus Christ as the light of the world. As time went by, apples and candles became spheres, lights, and other ornaments.

Then the tradition of putting gifts for children under the tree, sent by Saint Nicholas or also known as Santa Claus (and Santa Claus) or the Magi, was added, depending on the customs of the area where you are. ”

The true origin of Christmas

by David C. Pack

The American Encyclopedia, 1956 edition, adds: “Christmas… was not observed in the first centuries of the Christian church, since the general way was to celebrate the deaths of notable people, instead of their birth… a party was established in memory of this event [the birth of Christ] in the fourth century. In the fifth century, the western church ordered that the feast be celebrated on the day of the rites of the birth of the sun, and at the close of Saturnalia, since there was no accurate knowledge of the day of the birth of Christ.”

The real Post starts here.

Having already omitted all previous controversy to avoid the typical "Christians should not celebrate it because it is of pagan origin" or "pagans should not celebrate that so as not to confuse with Christians", we can now focus on the theme of this Post.

The symbology and magic linked to the Christmas Tree is a topic of debate every season before winter on the Internet, I usually share some short post about it on my social networks, but here you can develop the idea better and with greater clarity.

The Christmas Tree is a tradition of pagan origin, to be more specific, the winter tree is celebrating more than 2750 years, is clearly much older than Christianity, the pagans used it as a sacred symbol of communion with the gods before the When winter came, there is evidence that both Celtic and Viking peoples had similar celebrations around evergreen trees, and it would be the Druids and other pagan priests and magicians who organized this celebration annually.

Unlike the old pagan towns that lived in full contact with nature (bless them), we live in cities, surrounded by technology and with smartphones, so clearly the symbolism has changed and has changed a lot.

For many of us the placement of the Christmas Tree represents something very different from the death of the God of light, or the Universe its worlds, for many it is a sacred symbol of family tradition that they try to maintain, even within the pagan currents to honor to their loved ones, rather a social custom-like decorating for 'All hallows eve' (Halloween), for others it represents a seasonal decoration loaded with ethnic elements typical of the customs of each country, while for many like me, it is a way of venerating nature in a certain way within the home, a traditional symbol that honors our ancestors from other parts of the world, a connection with the past, as a magical portal that during winter connects us with our loved ones of the past and the future, and according to my parents, an emblem of the prosperity of the home.

Once you decide to place the Christmas tree, a range of options arises, what is the most illuminated, wide and visible place in the house to place it ?, When to place it and when to remove it ?, How to decorate it and with whom? and many more.

The essential thing is to understand the power you put into it once you realize it, the power of two or more people placing and decorating the Christmas tree is a symbol of enormous power and teamwork, now, a Christmas tree at home gives welcome to the spirits of nature of all kinds and of all races.

At home we usually have a very strong saying for us, once you remove the holiday tree, you should start preparing to have a much more beautiful and abundant one the following year, and that is repeated every year.

The festive tree or Christmas tree, is a symbol for many of family tradition and prosperity, symbolizes abundance, and as long as you have it, the spirit that inhabits you will remain with you until the following year to place another new one, which will be the home of this spirit, and for that, he must give you support and prosperity throughout the year.

At home we celebrate by placing the festive tree from the first week of November, and we take care of choosing the decorative elements that are consistent with our wishes for the following year, because the tree is like a Christmas letter where you write your wishes, use ornaments and red ties if you want to attract love and passion for the coming year, blue if you want to raise your work position and gain recognition, golden to attract good fortune and material wealth, green to attract money and abundance, white if you want to heal personal relationships and strengthen the bond familiar, purple if you feel in a complicated situation and want to transmute this positive situation for the following year, coffee if you want stability or want to move from where you are, orange to raise the joy at home and fight against depression, pink to honor the spirit from home, or yellow for joy, love, and money.

In addition to the colors, the realization of thematic trees is very fashionable today, a tree decorated with toys will attract prosperity and happiness to the children in the house, while a tree decorated entirely with ties will bring family union, a tree decorated with spheres and bright apples attract abundance and avoid scarcity, while a tree decorated with hearts will attract love.

In addition to all of the above, there are other characteristic elements that you can use for these colors.

• The ties represent prosperous cycles and family union.
• The spheres and garlands on the tree represent gifts from the gods of heaven, gifts, and treasures.
• The stars represent good wishes that will be fulfilled the following year.
• The lights, which you can get in different colors, symbolize the light that accompanies us at all times.

Magic in your Tree

The holiday tree works as a powerful temporary altar for good wishes, which is why we use it during these dates to strengthen the fulfillment of our good wishes.

At home we tie cloth bands of different colors to make wishes in honor of our loved ones, this consists of taking a cloth tape, visualizing the person for whom we made the wish, asking aloud in the form of a mantra what you want for this person, and make a knot with this ribbon on a tree branch.

A piece of pyrite hanging from the Christmas tree will bring protection to the home and your loved ones, hanging white quartz from the branches will provide protection and an extra dose of energy to the spirit of the tree to grant the wishes that are being requested.

Charm bags / Mojo bags for the Christmas Tree.

Something I do every year, no matter what country or city I am in, is making some bags of amulets with a combination of herbs and crystals for prosperity, joy, protection and good luck. Then I dedicate myself to hide them very carefully in different corners of the tree and among its branches so that my friends come for them and collect them personally.

I have performed this ritual for several years and it is very beautiful as people feel a certain obligation to visit me to find their bags of amulets, it has already become a tradition.

You can make a combination of herbs and dried aromatic flowers with different colored quartz to attract different energies, perfume the bag with a few drops of ylang-ylang oil, cedar and cinnamon, pass it through the smoke of an incense stick and place it completely sealed in the tree.

The bags of amulets are made of different colored fabric to sponsor different desires, people come home and take them randomly from the tree, not more than one per person, and the bag they get represents the desire that will gain more strength the year coming, red for those who will be lucky in love, green means luck in money, blue is luck in personal projects, white represents a year of spiritual growth, etc.
