The Oak & The Druid
Ойын-сауық
The Oak tree is just one of many magical trees. The Oak is a symbol of strength, wisdom and knowledge and it can be used for many purposes. The druids had profound knowledge of the natural world and we could really do with just a little sprinkle of their wisdom.
I hope that you enjoyed this video and cheers for wasting time reading this as well because I already told you that in the video!

Well done!!! Thanks for the beauty and the blossoming wisdom!!!
"I love the world, but I don't love the day to day nonsense we put up with" Couldn't agree more Arran. Your video gave me goosebumps, the music, the scenery, your knowledge and passion. Soo much love for you Arran of Alba💫💫💫

Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing brother. Ive just returned to my home in Scotland, reading about our ancient roots. So much of the wisdom has been lost through the ages, but always close at hand if we listen. The trees are great teachers. I would love to visit this circle on my travels. I am visiting sacred sites all over the land. Could you let me know where this one is? Keep the spirit moving!
Sometimes when I read Robert Burns and feeling nostalgic of my small time in Scotland, I comeback here... your videos still impress me and bring me peace, at least this one :) (Now I remembered the small forest in Anglesey that I visited .... some locals were saying that, that place was the last refugee of the druids on Roman times). Hope you're doing great dear Arran :))))
I wonder what animals think we're doing when we talk into electronics.

they seem to catch on- esp using the cell phone to take pics of them. but that is funny to put it that way😂
In mystical locations such as this one, we can forget the world for a wee while! I like to think of giants who enjoyed sitting around a campfire ;)

This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot Arran. Greeting you from distant Slovakia where the oaks of old are still growing too...
Such a happy day to find this new video!! Scotland has the most magical land. I’m pretty sure I left my heart in that spot. You Arran were the person who opened my eyes to the wonder of the tree and all it’s beauty and glory.

This was amazing, been loving my local landscape. Collected an acorn from Midmar kirkyard. Which is really interesting right next to Balblair standing stane. It's germinated and going to plant it next to the field. Sunhoney stone circle is well worth a visit to a walk away from one another in Aberdeenshire 🤗🤗🤗

I'm vibing with these videos dude! Have always felt connected to Oak even before I found out that it was my birth Ogham haha.. I'm lucky enough to be spending this summer in Scotland (currently in the Outer Hebrides) would love to visit this place at some point, trouble would be getting there using public transport lol

Thanks bud, im so happy you found your tree... i have a differnt ogham but love the great oak more than most! You wont find any oaks in the hebrides thats for sure, the old world was stolen from us. I used to live in North Uist, enjoy your time!
I wonder all the stories those oaks could tell. The rituals they were a part of. They truly are great. I’m happy to have some oaks on my land. Let us know how it goes with growing some when you do & tell them stories about their mighty brethren so they grow up big & strong.☺️💚

Do you know that the white oak tree you can build exterior furniture with but the red oak won't work because of the holes in it and it'll rot fasterand the squirrels know the difference too they'll save the White oak acorns and immediately eat the red oak ones 🧐
