White Poplar with the distinctive changing of leaf colour on this tree makes it difficult to miss, a gentle breeze will turn a quiet green tree into a trembling, whispering silver tree. Believed to have been the timber that made the cross for Jesus Christ, this tree trembles in remembrance, the gentle caress of silver spreading over the tree brings the spiritual essence of life into focus.
White Poplar represents one of the vowels, and representing a change in the seasons, looking across the tree tops the distinctive silver leaves call out. Spreading the message of hope and encouragement, allowing its message to be carried with the wind to all that know how to listen. Providing stability in the unexpected turmoil and dramas that unfold in everyday life. This tree when invited will provide protection from worldly fears, and will assist in calming the energies surrounding the fear.
The Swan is the totem associated with the Poplar, when it enters your life you can expect peace to be restored, calm will bestow the local area. The swan brings the calming, joyous influences of the fae women to come and do their magic. The swan like the Poplar is a soul carrier and has shape shifter abilities so take nothing for granted as not everything is what it appears to be. The swan will not set foot on earth until it is comfortable, just as the Poplar will stand still when unsettled.
Arch Angel Gabriel is known to be the bringer of messages, it is known that s/he will blow the horn to signify the end of days. Also that s/he brings love unconditionally carried on a breeze for all to see and hear and feel. Arch Angel Gabriel stands in the West looking East reflecting on what has happened and preparing for the new to come in. (I have only ever seen AA Gabriel in female form, my reason for not generalising and using s/he) To be able to invoke the arch-angels and travel the realms in love and without fear is possibly the greatest gift.
The Grove of the Eadha occupies Iceland it originates from the house of Lyr, one of the Groves who voted for Jesus to be initiated as Ovate. The swan is significant in the induction of trance, introducing and understanding altered states, the way of the seer and progression of Bard is encouraged within this Grove.
