Tree Spirits

Huna is a philosophy of ancient Hawaiian magical
shamanism and healing. In Huna, it is believed that everything is "alive,
responsive and aware" therefore everything has a spirit. Huna teaches that
spirits are connected even if they are of different life forms. For instance,
human spirits connect more closely with other human spirits. But, human spirits
connect with animal spirits as well, especially dogs and horses. Huna states
that human spirits also have a very spiritual link to the tree. 

Supposedly, tree spirits
act as guardians and protectors. 

Here are some pictures that I have taken of trees recently. 

I have not always seen things like this. Only in the past year or so.
