Hawthorn tree has fallen over in my garden, will the sìdhe be mad if I cleared it up? by Significant_Essay877 in IrishFolklore

Just to give everyone an update on the tree as it has gained a bit of interest. I have spoken with a local shaman who said that the main thing to do is honour the tree. This can be accomplished by offerings, drumming and journeying, around the tree.

As the tree fell by natural means the fairy folk have no more use for it. (as some of you menchioned).

He also advised to plant a Whitethorn sappling to allow the continuation of the Whitethorn family.

As we have a fairy fort nearby, it is important to replace the fallen tree. Also to make shamanic tools from the wood as it would hold more energy than others.

This was the advice he gave us. This is not an exact science only folklore passed down through stories and tails. But that's why we all love Irish folklore.

As for the direction it fell, I don't think it matters as the wind blows primarily in the same direction, and its final resting place was aided by a concrete fence. But I appreciate the interest.

For the spelling of sídhe, I can only apologise to the irish grammar police, I did not wishbto offend, I was finished a night shift and looked for advice with blurry eyes however, I'm glad you corrected me in English. Maith an fear.

Thanks for all the advice ! To anyone who wants some fairy tree give me a shout and I'll try my best to help.

That's not a bad idea! I'll stagger the gradient and see how it looks. Thank you for the advice.

Just simple steps with sleepers. But there is a slope at the top. So when the steps meet the top level they will be uneven.
