Who believes that the trees have spirits inside of them?

Question

I definitely do. You could call it superstitious but this is my faith, this is what I believe in. I have always loved the supernatural and natural explanation of things about the reality of spiritual entities and deities good or evil. Does anyone believe that there is a possibility that trees also may have spirits inside of them too? Afterall, they share one thing in common with man and mammal and that is life.

If you can't understand why someone else's opinion is different, then you don't have to answer the question. I respect all other beliefs and opinions out there but this must be applied the other way around too. Thanks :)

Answer 1

Of course trees have spirits.  I've "talked" to many over the years.  Good and solid - rooted in the Earth.  Go close - touch them - and mentally ask a question.  Be open - you'll usually get an answer.

Answer 2

Yes, trees have their own spirit. And each of them are diffrent. Go up to a young pine for example, and listen to it. What does it say? What does the energy feel like? Take those findings and compare them to diffrent kinds and ages of trees...You'll get the idea.

A tree only has one spirit of its own. The multiple spirits that you may have felt are probably those of the fey.  

Answer 3

Yes I do believe the trees have spirits, I believe they have feelings as well, they were put here for our protection, I believe they have every ounce of life in them as we do they grow leaves/hair they put their roots into the ground and stay there/owning your own home and staying there, the age you can tell by the rings inside when they are cut down/we age and get bigger and older each year, they need they sunlight/we need sunlight, they drink water/we drink water, we are affected by mother nature/ they are fully exposed to weather, can you imagine if trees could talk to us the history they could tell us, I loves trees and take care of all of mine, and I do believe they have feelings just as much as we do

Answer 4

According to the theory of transmigration of the soul, everything has a sort of a soul. It starts as a rudimentary stone then metal then up to trees and plants then to bugs then to fish and reptiles and so on. Peace&Love be with you...~M~

Answer 5

Well, some people hold the belief that trees carry the spirits of ancient Druids. That after incarnating as humans, they came back as trees.

I believe that trees have spirits, I don't know if they are Druids, or elementals that have never been human but the trees are alive, in more ways than one. :)

*edit*

I ditto Cat's answer, I too have been talking to (and hugging) trees for years. They have talked back too!

Answer 6

Everything that exists has a "spirit" at least on some level, some you can "talk" to, others you cant.

Answer 7

The Native American Culture has always believed, everything on this Earth has a spirit, both animate and inanimate. I'm inclined to believe the same.

I have always believe trees had spirits within them, but I'll even go one further, I also believe other things have their own spirits as well, even man-made objects.

I know my computers have always had a mind of its own. Look at some of the silly things they can do, for no apparent reason, it even mystifies some computer experts.

Answer 9

Anything that grows, feeds, and gives birth has a spirit or soul. Trees fall into that category, thus souls they have.
