THE FOLKLORE OF THE OAK TREE. Acorns, Galls, Superstitions, Oak Apple Day, Oak King and Holly King

EDIT TO ADD..... A CORRECTION ... JANE GRAY WAS A RIVAL FOR THE THONE OF MARY NOT ELIZABETH, THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP FROM MY LISTENER :) Welcome to another episode of tree folklore and this time we have the mighty OAK, a tree that is the symbol of steadfastness and security. This is also a tree associated with royalty, both in the human world and the folkloric world. It is one of the most recognised trees around the world, and one of the most loved. I hope you enjoy this episode as we learn about the Oak's importance for ancient cultures through to the modern day. (This episode is dedicated to Andy, Nicola and their family and friends. The Oak.... eternally a symbol of strength and power. Love always surrounds) ************************** 0:00 introduction 0:36 A brief history of the Oak 5:02 Druids, Celts and Green Men of the great ancient forest 8:13 The Mistletoe and the Druids 11:10 The Greeks and the Oracle Oaks 11:36 The Irish tale of the bringing of the sacred trees and Cuchullain 15:20 The Norse tale of Barnskottr 19:57 The Romans, the Greeks their visions and festivals 22:04 Christianity and the Gospel Oaks 25:42 The tree of kings, Scottish clans, Oak Apple Day and May Day 28:49 Folklore, spells, faith and Ogham 35:22 Oak wood in the home, protection, shipbuilding and gallows 40:54 Fairies and witches, true tales and superstitions 50:42 Sir George Bernard Shaw poem 'Oak Tree' 52:02 Closing thoughts ************************** HOW TO SUPPORT THE CHANNEL & HELP US CREATE MORE VIDEOS : ** Buy me a coffee on Ko-Fi, every little bean helps the channel & is very much appreciated :) https://ko-fi.com/kellypottsmartinez ** WE HAVE OFFICIAL MERCH WITH MARC'S ART!!
