Trees & Ley Lines

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

Tell the customer they need to make a gift, at the 18th birthday, of their first daughter (subject to inspection), a side of beef and 100 gallons of fine ale to the tree planter.

 

Job done! Mystic forces appeased, tree planter happy!

PS, if they've got a second daughter, buy poor stock tree from tinterweb which will fail and cause repeat of cycle described above.

 

If no second daughter, or tree planter is content with first transaction, buy quality stock tree from Barchams and all live happily ever after...,,

A fine suggestion Kevin. You would evidently make a fine Druid.

 

The only potential flaw that I can see in your otherwise fabulous plan would be if the client had no offspring to offer as reward/spirit appeasement.

Presumably if the job is anywhere West of say Gloucester then the tree planter would be just as content with a sheep or goat?

After 100 gallons of fine ale those West Country folk care little about the species of their night time nuzzle.

I had always thought of these things as a bit "New Age" and not for me a spanner wielding, sawmill operating petrolhead.

 

 

Tree surgeons and timber millers are usually the most superstitious!

[Mick Dempsey]

I'm not superstitious at all, it's all rubbish.

Except for my lucky pants when I played football, and never walking under ladders, never getting out of the other side of the bed.....they genuinely work.

If ley lines were real ( I'm not saying they are not ) and if they killed trees, then there would be dead lines of continuity all across the country.

 

There has to be a more logical explanation as to why a tree keeps dying.

 

Maybe take a soil sample and check weather the gap is big enough for a new tree to emerge from.

 

Failing that give Gandalf a ring or Tom Bombadil

[daltontrees]

I think the problem is, as ley lines don't exist as 'energy lines' (The History And Mystery Of Ley Lines) they didn't kill the tree, so its more a case of what did? If you recommend anything, it might die too from the same cause. (The actual cause, not the ley lines rubbish)

 

Worth checking for Armilleyria...

[Peasgood]

How can the ley line have killed the trees when a great many ley lines are actually marked out by trees?

A fantastic example of this is near the Worcester junction on the M5. I think it is "Worcester North". That tree on that tump just has to be marking a ley line, knew it the first time I saw it many decades ago and that was before the M5 was there.

 

No doubt that bush mentioned earlier in Salisbury or wherever it was is another example. I don't know that one.

Always thought there was something a little pagan in the Little Chef

Is that a picture of Aleister Crowley as a small child?
