What this thread needs is an ancient Boab, a tree that is as much a part of its human community today as it was a thousand years ago.

 

A sacred hollow Boab will have seen generation upon generation of man born within its hollow hulk as the local tribeswomen go there when entering labour.

 

Im sure scared has many meanings or perhaps it is the infidelity of which David spoke in the above post but the Baobabs were also used as a prison tree. The accused would be restrained inside the hollow overnight on their journey's by the law as they transported their villains to townships to face justice. Before this., they were smnply held captive in the tree's depths by command of village elders for some wrong doing or other.....Not an association that fits naturally one with the other (birth and prison!) but nevertheless, when needs must I suppose.
