*Notable Properties* include:

Dogwood:

The flowers of Dogwood Tree form a perfect cross and is associated with Springtime/Easter as a tree of renewal + beginnings. The equidistant cross represents the four corners of creation, the four winds; four Holy cities and the four Sacred Mountains in Native American tradition.

Dogwood has a lifespan of about 20 years during which time it grows to about 30 feet high. It produces berries and flowers - but these parts of the tree are actually an illusion. Berries are actually drupes (akin to cherries), and the blossoms are really leaves! With this in mind, dogwood could easily represent Chimera Magic.

In nature, dogwood is hard and durable and it resists scrapes easily. This sturdiness gives the Dogwood Spirit additional symbolic values including strength, protection and a popular firm standing-tall will.

Celtic Lore attributes devotion, safety, fertility, loyalty, passion, desire; determination, and use of magical illusion to Dogwood.


Tree Spirit:

Tree Spirits (or Tree Dieties) are present in many cultures. They are often connected to ancient fertility and tree worship lore. The status of tree deities varies from that of a local fairy, ghost, sprite or nymph, to that of a goddess or god.

In Slavic mythology, Leshy (Leshii or Ljeschi, plural Leshiye) is a demon-god, a tree spirit who protects and defends the animals of the forests and marshes. Mostly benevolent or neutral to humans, the Leshy has aspects of the trickster type god and has been known to lead unwary travelers astray. Greek counterparts are Satyr, Pan, and Centaur. Also known as Old Man of the Forest.


Green Man:

The Green Man, and very occasionally the Green Woman, is a legendary Being primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of new growth that occurs every spring. The Green Man is most commonly depicted in a sculpture of a face which is made of, or completely surrounded by, leaves. Found in many cultures from many ages around the world, the Green Man is often related to natural vegetation deities.

Green Man is intended as a symbol of growth and rebirth, the eternal seasonal cycle of the coming of spring. This association stems from the pre-Christian notion that humans are born from Nature and the idea that humanity's fate is directly tied to the fate of nature. Thus, engaging Green Man Spirit supports contemporary commitment and work with relationship to Nature, Nature Spirits, Mama Gaia Spirit, Mother Earth and Right Relationship with all elemental relations.


Dryad:

Dryads are the spirits of trees, and are elemental Nature Spirits that are present within forests, woodlands, and groves. Because of this you'll find many more Dryads located in forested areas though they're also able to be found in trees in the parks of suburbs and cities. Because of how many different types of trees there are in the world, there are likely a quite a lot of dryads located on the Earth communicating + connecting with the people and other Elementals of the areas in which they live.
