Wisptober Day 25: Reunion 
"The two witches hurried to the old Crow King's tree to meet up with their friend for their monthly reunion!" 
I didn't get a lot of time for this one today, so I hope a simplier stylized one is ok! Maybe one of these days I will return to it and redo it in a different palette and style!

Study of a willow trees branches lightly touching the ground, with the sun streaming in from behind, casting long violet shadows.

Me and my friends were being chased by tiny gummy bears and then we ran into a giant willow tree that used its branches to protect us, the one of the gummy bears hurt the tree and we watched it die in front of us.

Legends and myths about trees
Celtic beliefs in trees (14)
S for Saille (willow) - April 15th - May 12th
April 23 Saint George's Day 
May 1st Beltane (Gaelic May Day festival)
“Magical and witchcraft tree - Fifth month of the Celtic tree calendar (Ref)”
colour: silver; Gem: moonstone; Gender: female; Patrons: Persephone, Hekate, Ereshkigal, Artemis, Selene, Diana, Luna, Athena, Ceridwen, Orpheus, Baal, Yahweh; Symbols: dream + intuition, prophecy + divination, healing + magic, love
For the ancient Celts, the willow was a magical and mystical tree, as well as a feminine tree subject to the lunar rule, and was also thought to work subconsciously. The Celts believed that being near willow trees increased their spiritual powers and intuition, and as a result, the dreams they had were more realistic and detailed.
The wands used by the druids to ward off evil were made from the branches of the goat willow. The silvery hairs of the catkins hanging from this young male willow may have appeared to the ancients as if they were seeing magic as they were pollinated and transformed into a golden colour. The way the flowers spiralled open must have been astonishing. The source of art and creativity is still to be found in willow, and the thin, strong drawing charcoal used by artists is made from willow.
Willow has long been used in mourning rituals. Planting willow trees in cemeteries facilitated the passage of the souls of the dead, and the ancient Celts believed that the souls of the dead would enter and grow in young willow trees, and that the spirits would dwell in the trees intact.
The willow, which has a deep bond with water, tells you to cry with honesty if you are sad. If you are happy, you should rejoice from your heart. The willow teaches you that sometimes you need to leave reason and sense behind and weep to your heart's content.

木にまつわる伝説・神話
ケルト人の樹木の信仰 (14)
SはSaille (ヤナギ) - 4月15日~5月12日
4月23日・聖ジョージの日
5月01日・ベルティネ祭
『魔法の木、妖術の木 〜 ケルトの木の暦(参照)の第5月』
色: 銀; 宝石: 月長石; 性: 女性; 守護神: ぺルセポネ、ヘカテ、エレシュキガル、アルテミス、セレネ、ディアナ、ルナ、アテナ、ゲリドウェン、オルフェウス、バアル、ヤハウェ; シンボル: 夢+直感、予言+占い、癒し+魔法、愛
古代ケルト人にとってヤナギは魔法や神秘の木であるとともに、月の支配を受ける女性の木でもあり、また、意識下に働きかけるとも考えられていた。ヤナギのそばにいると霊力や直感が高まり、その結果、見る夢はよりリアルに、詳細なものになるとケルト人は信じていた。男女を問わず、詩人や、音楽家や、司祭たちがヤナギの林にこもって瞑想をすれば、霊感が高まり、雑念から開放されると考えていた。こうしてケルト人は、聖なる林にこもって内なる世界に向き合い、木の頂から霊感を得ていた。
ドルイドたちが、魔除けに使っていた杖は、ヤマネコヤナギ (バッコヤナギ) の枝からつくられた。この若い雄木に垂れ下がった尾状花序の銀色にひかる和毛が、受粉して黄金色に変身していく様は、古代人には魔法を見ているように見えたのかもしれない。螺旋模様を描きながら花が開いていく様子にも、驚かされたことだろう。ヤナギに芸術や創造性の源を見て取ることは今も変わらず、芸術家が使う細くて丈夫なデッサン用の炭はヤナギからつくられている。
ヤナギは昔から弔いの儀式にもよく使われる。墓地にヤナギを植えると死者の魂が通りやすくなると言い、古代ケルト人は、死者の魂は若いヤナギの木に入り、育っていくと信じ、霊がそのまま木に宿ると信じていた。
水と深い絆で結ばれているヤナギは、悲しいことがあれば素直に泣きなさい、嬉しいことがあれば、心から喜びなさいという。時には理性も分別もを捨てて、心ゆくまで泣くことも必要だと、ヤナギは教えてくれる。
