The tree in the photograph is the singers tree next to the sundance arbor. As you can see it has taken the form of a buffalo honouring the Buffalo Culture of the Lakota. I scanned the photograph and drew a ring around the face of what the Lakota call: A Can-o-ti-la…a tree spirit.
In the stories of my Celtic heritage, this being is called a faun, half human and half goat, the horned…..a messenger of Pan, Lord of the Wood.
A peoples prayer walks visible.

As our consciousness expands to include the members of all the kingdoms, we all become enriched. I have a tree ‘friend’ down in the park where I walk on a regular basis. She’s withstood two forest fires as I have. We share a bond, of listening and giving energy to each other. Thank you for sharing your tree spirit. -Leanne/Bellvue.CO

Thank you for sharing. I’m afraid the photograph is not the best with my little point and click but I was very happy to see the face in the buffalo tree. The Lakota culture is a buffalo culture and for the singers tree[where we sit and sing the prayer for the sundance] to take on the image of a buffalo, to me is a dream and a vision. I feel honoured that the tree spirit manifested for the photograph…I will write about them.
Much love
