today i brought another gift to the magic tree.
some labradorite.. i tucked it away in another corner
and stayed under the magic tree for nearly an hour
when suddenly i realized that the little doors in the magic tree
actually go all the way through..
you can only really see this if you are lying down by the tree.
which i have never actually done until today...

also..
ive never mentioned this...
but the magic tree has iron rods inside of it.
i think the park conservationists must have put them there
to stop people from getting inside..
they iron rods are very old and rusted and very bent..
when looking into the elf doors i saw that the iron rods
have made a very special runic symbol.

GEBO

*taken from facade.com*
the rune gebo means gift, and like any gifts,
the rune may be understood on many levels.
gifts are generally positive things,
for both the giver and the recipient.
in many cultures however, gifts and favors carry with them
an obligation to respond in kind.
it is for this reason that gifts, and hence the rune gebo,
are frequently symbolic of friendships, marriages, alliances,
mergers, and other bonds between people or organizations.
gebo is a strong rune
and the unions represented are strong as well.
moreover, gebo is not reversible,
as true friendships are not easily undone.

That is a very appropriate rune, representational of your relationship with it; it gives you pleasure and shelter and a place to dream, and you give it your tie and love and energy and a peice of beautiful labradorite :o)
