The Truth About Trees… Part 14
Read More
It was the Dwarves, passing through our local part of the WildWood, that re-named it, Andredsweald.
They could obviously feel the lovely benevolent, Goddess Energy of the area, and naturally assumed it was ‘their’ Goddess, Andred.
Being civilised, it never occurred to them that we, an un-civilised local people, could have an Earth Mother Goddess, who rejoiced in the primitive name of Mumm. Mumm was the first word our children made, and what better name could there be for a Goddess?
The Dwarves were a tribe of small Black haired people, who passed through our area, going to and from other parts of the huge forest that stretched from the Ice Fields to the North of us, right across Europe to what is now known as the Black Sea.
Of course, we didn’t know that at the time… we just knew that the forest went on for ever… or so it seemed, when viewed from the tops of hills.
To us, forest dwellers, the horizon of our world, was only the distance we could see through the trees. In those days our world was very small, and we had no idea that the stars formed constellations in the sky, that we could barely see, through the tree canopy.
According to scientists, the Dwarves were the ‘Bronze Age People’ who came here, prospecting for metal ore, before our land became an Island. They must have walked here from Europe, like we did.
The Dwarves give one of the Tree Groups (see earlier Postings) in our forest, a name that is still in use today, some six thousand years later.
Like us, they realised it was a Magickal tree, and so they called after their word for magick; Rowan.
The Victorians tried to re-name it Mountain Ash, but luckily the old name of Rowan is still with us. The Germans call it Vogelbeere and the Dutch Lijsterbes; because of its berries.
The name Rowan is very popular for male witches in the UK, as it brings out their magickal qualities.
Rowan Atkinson, ( Mr Bean) is a very popular actor, a very good example of this quality; in fact his genius is obvious in his brilliant stagecraft.
