Do The Trees Still Speak? – Plant Research Part 1
In all of the old legends and stories, the trees spoke to heroes and adventurers alike – do you ever wonder why that stopped? And does the mycelium fungi network have anything to do with this?
Why was this fact (purposefully) erased from our collective consciousness?
Folktales of Trees Speaking to People
Across any language or culture spanning our world, you can almost always find folktales, legends, and (obscure) historical texts written about trees once communicating with human beings. Or rather, with any living lifeform actually – since more and more each day I find myself questioning whether or not everyone I see walking amongst me is truly human or not.
Yes, they may appear physically human…but what are they really? What is the make-up of their spirit?
Anyway, not to veer too far off topic, in most legends and world histories both the trees and animals could talk. The forest was alive, and spirits of those departed and those native to the forests thrived. You even had the odd cryptid or two living amongst the now so-called “fabled” creatures of dragons, elves, faeries, brownies, and the like – which honestly seem to be returning to this realm.
There are so many videos I’ve been watching from homesteaders, gardeners, campers, and even bush-crafters who have nothing to do with the bigfoot, sasquatch, or cryptid communities reporting phenomenon that is related to said cryptids above including sightings of giants, dogmen, wendigo, wolfmen, and other hybrid-Nephilim cryptid beings. I might actually make a post (or video – or both) on that topic soon, since I have my own stories I’d like to add to this internet discussion of maybe millions around the world converging in this strange new day and age.
I may also touch upon the animals speaking, since in recent years more videos have resurfaced (and been captured) of birds, dogs, and even cats speaking human words (before getting caught and then “meowing” or “woofing”, generically) and videos like lions and tigers sitting like a human being would. Truly strange times we are living in, huh?
I have to wonder, if due to the changes on this earth within our realm (the raised vibrations of consciousness, the 5G in the air that some of us may be metabolizing through melanin production, the continuous X-class, C-class, and other class solar flares that have been knocking out power (and my device connections) in only certain rooms of my house all summer, and the continuous “downloads” of information many in the hidden history/consciousness community have been bringing forth have something to do with the trees being able to speak again. Or rather, our ability to listen and hear them, again.
Our Severed Connection to Trees
As mentioned above, I think our connection to the trees has been vastly severed.
I don’t know if you’ve heard about the rumors (or rather, hidden history) of our world, but we used to have giant trees everywhere. And I’m not talking about places simply like the Redwood Forest in California, no I’m talking about like everywhere in the world. As with the Star Forts, pyramids, and geological formations of buildings that mirrored cymatics, the alignment of the stars, that were built on ley lines, or the missing bells worldwide, everywhere across our plane giant trees have been systematically mined out of existence.
Even today, what little baby saplings that are left are routinely being dragged down by construction equipment, with crappy paper mâché apartments made out of cardboard, pallet wood, and duct tape thrown up in their stead. Then a facade of brick overlay is placed on the outside to give it some semblance of a polished look, alongside the painted plastic to feign elegance.
I’ve witnessed this over the past 5 years especially in my small coastal town, and if you read the comments in most YouTube videos (from people all over the world – but especially in rural America and big cities alike) nature that has stood unmolested for decades is suddenly and violently being torn down in favor of tightly-placed together shitty pallet wood apartments.
Why, you ask?
Well, I think there is something deeper at play here.
Speaking from the physical perspective, America is massive – the largest (and oldest) landmass in the world – and the first to rise from the primordial flood waters and yet again after the biblical flood if antiquarian texts are to be believed. We live in such a small fragment of the country now, as we are all huddled together on top of one another in cities, neighborhoods, apartment complexes, etc.
Centuries ago, or even merely even half a century ago people still lived a more rural, agriculturally-focused life. In this country alone, the Great Negro Migration brought many of the aboriginals of this country (including my grandparents and great-grandparents in some cases) from their ancestral homelands in the south to the cities of the north, and others toward the Midwest.
Generations of well-maintained farms with historic trees were suddenly put on the market, or left “abandoned” to be claimed by one of the United States’ many predatory land management bureaus or subdivisions. These lands were then stripped of the natural fauna, foliage, and animal habitats in favor of things such as gas stations, highways, or destructive forces such as big-ag chemical ridden “farms” or slaughterhouses that make everybody left in the vicinity sick from the waste they leave behind and the spiritual consequences of the negative energy they release into the air.
(You can look into the relationship between slaughterhouses and “hoods” in correlation to crime and depression if you don’t believe me on that one.)
Whether you believe this or not, I think the trees, the native flowers that come back year after year, and all of the birds, bees, and animals born generation after generation in a place hold the collective memories of those who once lived there. With the inhabitants gone, and the trees, flowers, and animals with the genetic memories driven away or destroyed – I think it in a sense “kills the land” – creating a dormant cycle where nothing can grow in that area until the memories are returned.
What do I mean by that? How can “memories” be returned?
Early 18th and 19th Century Logging and the Fungi Network in Trees, Plants and Flowers
You’ve all seen those pictures, right?
Of “settlers” arriving to America and taking pictures with massive trees that were bigger than anything they could imagine. There could be 20, 30 people sitting on the inside of a recently cut down stump, or people held hands 20-25 interlinked arms strong trying to measure the massive circumference of these majestic beings.
Then, you see the eerie, black and white toothless smiles of these same “people” cutting down these trees…eradicating these ancient forest beings and guardians with seemingly no empathy in their eyes.
It is a sad thing, but for more reasons than the one I mentioned above.
When I mentioned the trees memories, I’d like to think of that as the fungal network. I’ve been watching a lot of videos lately (and even reading some books and cool websites on the matter) for the past few years as I’ve been trying to heal my own yard from damage done by outside forces. I can’t fully heal it yet like I’d like, but I’ve made a lot of progress.
My yard, like a lot of my native riparian/coastal/woodland area has been invaded by Chinese species of plants and trees. It’s almost funny that you can go to any Home Depot, Lowes, or any other big box store and buy annuals and invasive species on sale despite people knowing they are bad for the local area, but it takes literal years for somebody like me to find the specific strains and classes of native plants, and trees that once grew in the area by way of antiquarian books and national historic plant and flower societies.
People say that you just need to “save the bees” by planting any sort of flowers – no, it has to be something specific to your area. I saw a video (more than one, actually) of news crews and msm ‘stunned’ at the growing “trend” of people converting partial pieces or even their whole lawn back to native plants and flowers after the pandemic. Like myself, many others have taken up the ‘hobby’ of gardening and agricultural management (and even land restoration) and figured out the importance of native species to the land for the local ecosystem.
Believe it or not (as some call it ‘pseudoscience’) plants can actually “call” insects to them, and communicate with species they historically have neighboring relationships with.
Call it companion planting or whatever you’d like – plants do speak to each other, and they communicate through something called the mycelium fungi network. That is why when you plant something (be it a native or in my case an ‘annual’ like a tomato in the summertime) the next year you plant those seeds it usually comes back stronger because it becomes acclimated to the environment, and the fungi in the soil remember it.
How does it acclimate? It remembers, via the fungi network…something completely unseen to the human eyes, only known by nature, alone.
The native plants as well, trigger something deep within the soil and fungi network, which help the land remember what was once there, as the seeds respond to the ‘memories’ being unlocked by the fungi and their historical relationships being restored.
Mother Trees and Plants in the Forest and Beyond
I was watching a really cool video about mycelium, and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi and how it interacts with old growth trees, especially. The mother tree in a forest will do its best to nurture the saplings of its own species and even others through the underground fungi network, sending nutrients even if the younger trees get shaded out, or is beat down by the hot sun.
All of the trees work in a symbiotic relationship to maintain the homeostasis of the forest, and because of this the animals, insects, and everything else present like mushrooms, forage-able foods, etc. retain their healthy statures. But if the mother trees are cut down, all of the wisdom they have obtained, the events they have lived through, and the saplings, wildlife, and insects they were nurturing will fall with it.
Due to the homeostasis being disrupted, this leads to bad things like bacteria and invasive species being able to take hold of an area. And unless a forest fire comes around to reset the entire area so that the native trees can thrive again, it is mostly doomed without human intervention and the restoration of native species.
My Own Experience with Land Restoration and Trees
As I mentioned above, my yard has been damaged by invasive Chinese species and other outside (rouge) human activity. Japanese knotweed is (or rather thankfully, was -) a huge culprit in disrupting the growth of native species in my yard. Although not fully eradicated, it is on it’s last trembling legs after maybe 3 years of dedicated cleanup – with last year being the main show and dance of me physically pulling massive roots as big as the circumference of my waist out of the ground and throwing them out for garbage disposal.
The introduction of a specific species of Mexican marigold (known for inhibiting bacteria and nematodes in potatoes/root crops), the original comfrey without blocking agents, borage for fertility, and newly added this year Mexican sunflower (the Tithonia diversifolia species that is yellow and grows primarily from cuttings) to act as a biological insecticide to kill the invasive critters underground and through regular droppings of comfrey leaves and feed, the fungi network has been efficiently restored in the worst of the problem areas.
I am still working on it, but the comfrey has brought up nutrients, and allowed the surrounding native Catawba and Black Locust trees (known for their fertility and ability to be used as a living green manure) and Swamp Maples to allow their seedlings to be successfully sown – so that I have so many natural tree saplings coming up around the yard in the land’s own effort to re-forest itself into its once former glory as a woodland in the past.
The native pokeberries have come back in full force (with some help from me scattering them freely last year when they went to seed) and this might sound crazy, but I brought (yellow) amaranth last year because it’s an American native and this year a native species of (green) amaranth came up in place of the knotweeds on the polar opposite side of the yard where I planted the yellow variety last summer!
The thorns are less aggressive due to the bacteria being negated and the yard’s acidity being converted to a neutral ph balance due to the work of the fungi, comfrey, and marigolds, and the birds and bees have come back. The fireflies, and ladybugs, as well have returned home.
Things I hadn’t seen in years in the yard have slowly been coming back (like snails and slugs), and even the animals we’ve always had off-and on (squirrels, possums, raccoons, snakes, bigger spiders – not an animal but they act like they are one with their dominance, the birds…) seem to be less aggressive if I encounter them in the yard and more at peace.
Most importantly, what I consider to be my crowning achievement is a Catawba tree in my yard that was cut down forcibly without our permission. It was a rather tall tree that was cut in half, and it along with everything in that vicinity was dead save the Japanese knotweed.
With the Japanese knotweed now almost nearly eradicated and the natives slowly coming back, the tree has sprung back to life last summer, and has since grown extensively despite me pruning it regularly last year (I stopped pruning it this spring and just let it go this summer – it’s massive and stronger, now).
Let The Trees Speak To Us, Again
So what I’m trying to say through all of this, is that land definitely can be restored, and the importance of trees is severely downplayed in our ecosystem.
Aside from shade, alongside the fungi in the soil they hold the memories of the land they once stood on. They may even record the events as time passes, and if you believe the spiritual texts, are a gateway for cryptids, interdimensional beings, and a medium to speak to The Most High and other realms via their energetic fields.
I’m really glad that I can count myself amongst those that learned the magic of the trees during the pandemic, and the importance of restoring balance to the local ecosystems where we live today. Although it may not be many of us doing this, on the grand scheme of things it seems like more are joining the movement back to the natural, observing the divinely created wonders everyday by trying to be good stewards of the land.
I don’t mean to preach, but the more I think about it, the more it seems the cutting down of old-growth forests had both physical and spiritual components used to harm our way of life to the point that today we consume poisoned, tainted foods, are sold tainted bagged soil, and are told we can’t use the groundwater due to (commonly arsenic) contamination or place plants in the ground to utilize the fungal network due to “contaminated” soil due to heavy metals and other (purposefully-placed) toxic junk.
I have since learned to counter-act these chemicals with specific trees and plants (as did all gardeners who have gone through the waves of purchasing contaminated manure, contaminated bagged soil, etc.) years ago so it doesn’t bother me much anymore, but it’s really ridiculous what lengths some have gone to in order to simply pollute the earth and for what, out of jealousy?
Because they hated nature and all things natural?
Because they wanted control over living beings through poisoning their neural system and access to sustainable natural living, as intended by The Most High?
I don’t know. I could go on and on about this topic, but tell me what you think about all of this.
Do you have experiences restoring land? Were there once old-growth forests in your area that were cut down?
