Birch: The oil of Support

Birch offers support to the unsupported. When we are feeling attacked or unsupported by family or friends, Birch offers courage to move forward alone. Learning to be flexible is important, but so is gaining a strong backbone. Birch offers support to the weak-willed to stand tall and firm in what we believe.

Birch help us to feel our roots, specifically our connection to family and ancestors. Birch is a tree that stands tall and firm and assists others in doing the same. It assists in overcoming negative generational patterns, especially in situations where we are at risk of being rejected if we choose a different way. It lends its spirit of endurance to help us face trials of adversity, so we may weather storms with the strength and conviction of a tree.

Birch teaches there is more to life than pain, and that with the right support and the right grounding, we can be held up and sustained by Divine grace.
