Shaman Pathways - Trees of the Goddess: A New Way of Working With the Ogham Kindle Edition

by Elen Sentier (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 169 ratings
See all formats and editions
Shaman, artist and author Elen Sentier writes, "I was first taught the trees of the goddess as a child. The old ones from the village would tell us about the tree, how it lives, what creatures it lives with, its whole environment. They would tell us stories then we would go to the tree and sit with it, listen to what it had to show and tell us. Later, we would ask it for a piece of its wood to make its spirit- home. These were rituals but all so natural and normal they were just a part of life and living for me as I grew up. TREES OF THE GODDESS will help you find your way of doing this."

Editorial Reviews

Review

Mar 6, 2014: Llyn Roberts, MA, author of The Good Remembering, Shamanic Reiki and Shapeshifting into Higher Consciousness.
A beautiful tribute to the nature beings that refresh our Planet and our spirit, Trees of the Goddess is a portal to deep feminine wisdom ways - a guidebook that will make the mystery and magic of trees come alive for all who read.

Mar 6, 2014: Steve Andrews, author of Herbs of the Northern Shaman
Any book by Elen Sentier will reflect her very individual yet spiritual approach to the subject and will include her specialised knowledge and intuition. She has been a teacher of Ogham for many years and knows what she is talking about so a book about this written by her will be both authoritative in the truth of the information in it and educational in the true sense of the word!

Jan 23, 2014: Rachel Patterson, Moon Books author
Elen Sentier has encompassed the knowledge and wisdom of our beautiful trees in this wonderful book. Fascinating information not only on the magic of trees but how they intertwine with the universe, how we can work with them and what amazing sources of information, inspiration and guidance they can be. This book goes far beyond the structure of Ogham and takes the reader on a spiritual journey through the forest of the Goddess.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Best-selling author, Elen Sentier has published 12 books, three of which are bestsellers and two are novels. She’s just finished her 3rd exciting and sexy, mystery and magic novel, it’s now out for beta reading and we hope it will be published in late 2023. She’s currently working on her fourth novel, full of juicy relationships and conflicts, set in a post-apocalyptic world. As she was born into a family who practiced the old witch-ways of Britain for millennia, she uses all that background in her novels as well as her how-to magic books

As well as writing Elen is a transpersonal psychotherapist and business coach. She uses her writing skills and her witch background to help people get unstuck. Over the past 30+ years she’s worked with leaders, solopreneurs, artists, authors and more to put the soul-fire-spark back in their business through her books, 1-2-1 coaching and her signature Wild Women Retreats.

Elen shares her quirky, 16th century farmhouse in Shropshire, England, right by the Welsh border, with her black witchy cat, Kellan, a host of wildlife, and Paul, her ex-particle physicist husband – she’s had Quantum Entanglement with the cornflakes for fifty years!

Her bragging rights include dancing for Arlene Philips; flying in Jaguar fighter aircraft; doing plasma- physics at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy; and being kissed by Mick Jagger! She loves cats, eats paleo, and her motto is “If the cat and the boyfriend disagree, get rid of the boyfriend!”

5.0 out of 5 stars Love
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2015

I've noticed that Sentier's explanations of the cards does not match the book that came with them or other interpretations I've seen elsewhere, but given that all this tree stuff about the ogham was made up later anyway, possibly interpretations from Robert Graves' "The White Goddess" which many scholars do not believe sound, I guess it doesn't really matter whether Sentier matches or not. What I love is the feeling of a whole system, in concert with moon phases, etc. I love the way she writes and things about the ogham and the trees. It's deeply meaningful to me and opens my mind and heart to thinking through these metaphors we use to describe and connect to deity and that's what matters to me. If you're a pure reconstructionist it might not work for you but then, ogham cards in general as a divination tool probably isn't going to work for you either since the history is pretty opaque and iffy.

This was a solid, practical, and quick little book on the ogham. It doesn't do anything too new, but by the same token it is still a great read with tried and true wisdom and practices featured in its body.

Let me preface this by saying I am not finished reading this. I am reading/digesting this slowly using it to learn about trees in a full hearted spiritual way. It is more than I expected. It is comprehensive, yet easy to read. I shall update this when finished, but right now it is Five Star!

5.0 out of 5 stars Trees, relationship and deep tradition
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2014
Highly recommended. ‘Trees of the Goddess’ is the latest in a series of books written by Elen Sentier for Shaman Pathways. It is both deeply traditional and highly innovative – very much this author’s note. It goes with her championship of the way of the awenyddion, standing for the ever-renewing indigenous seership of Britain.

The innovation is simple yet profound. This book directly concerns our relationship with the trees, rather than letters or divination. That relationship, like everything on the planet, has a context of cycles and seasons. Our life-world, and that of the trees, is defined by the dance of earth, moon and sun. We have this in common with our ancestors, attested by their lore and stories, and it establishes our continuity with them. The book is a reflective celebration of these simple truths and their archetypal resonance. The framework of the ogham tree alphabet provides a strong and focused conceptual foundation, in service to direct experience. The suggested activities at the end – in sections on ways to work with the trees, moon bath, allies, making your ogham staves and spirit keeping, are an invitation to experiential exploration.

The book is traditional in its use of the ogham tree alphabet and largely faithful to Robert Graves’ ‘The White Goddess’. The author endorses his linking of 13 of the trees to Ogham consonants as they move through the 13 months of the lunar year from the winter solstice; and the linking of the 5 Ogham vowels to 5 stations of the solar year (the solstices, equinoxes and Samhain). She largely follows Graves’ trees, in his order, though there are some exceptions – the vine is banished, leaving bramble to take the full weight of Muinn; and there are some changes of terminology, like guelder rose instead of ‘dwarf elder’. I realise that many people today are highly sceptical of Graves’ work, but its problems are for me not relevant to this book. For ‘Trees of the Goddess’ is not much concerned with the history of ogham, its specific cultural origin, or its use as an alphabet. It is about here-and-now relationship with the trees, honouring the Goddess and aware that our ancestors had some such relationship too.

5.0 out of 5 stars fascinating look at modern tree lore
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2014
My own approach to tree lore and the Ogham is entirely traditional so I found Elen Sentier's book a fascinating look into an entirely different approach to the subject. Elen weaves together the older material with a wide array of modern material, including insight's from Robert Graves' book the White Goddess, moon lore, metal associations, and spiritual concepts. She also includes a lot of tree and plant lore and some different deity related material. She covers the 20 Ogham by breaking them up into the 12 months of the year, each month with a chapter which contains 1 or 2 Ogham. Towards the end she also discusses mistletoe and how to connect to the energies of the trees and plants as well as how to make your own Ogham staves. Ultimately this book is not about the academic history of the Ogham or the historic beliefs and practices associated with them, but is about the author's vision of the living symbols of the trees and how they can be connected to and worked with today.

The Celtic Tree Horoscope is not ancient or historic,it was invented by a French magazine (Stark,Roswitha: Rituale im Jahreskreis, p.56). Therefore this book is not helpful in any way, sorry. It has nice ideas to connect with nature though.

This is very useful and i’m grateful for all this important information about the trees. There are certain things i dont agree with her about: the need for all the ritual, and other things. I like the direct style of her writing and she’s right in many other ways. She has proper in-depth knowledge that is hard to find.
When i read this i feel a great connection and it’s wonderful to learn these things about the trees from someone who writes down to earth, honest, authentic things.
