Legends and myths about trees

Legendary tree deities (14)

Nut – Goddess of the sky & tree in Egyptian mythology

Nut the sky goddess was the most common tree goddess.  

A goddess, part woman, part tree on a 21st Dynasty cartonnage. This is a tree goddess. Usually the goddess is Nut or more rarely Hathor or Isis. The tree was usually the sycamore fig (though the word for sycamore, nht, was used as the general word for ‘tree’). Often the goddess is showing pouring out refreshing liquid into the hands of the deceased while their ba (in the form of a bird with human head) stands close by or flutters in the branches.

In ancient Egyptian mythology, Nut (pronounced “newt”) is the goddess of the sky and heavens. She was the daughter of Shu, god of the air, and his wife Tefnut, goddess of moisture and rainfall. Her brother and husband is Geb, god of the earth. It was believed that Geb's laughter created earthquakes and that he allowed crops to grow. When they were embracing, their father Shu forcibly pulled them apart and heaven and earth were separated. This myth is one of the most famous in Egyptian mythology, and the image of Shu standing over the lying Geb and supporting Nut is well known.

Nut became pregnant with five children and Ra, god of the sun, forbade her from giving birth during the official calendar year. The ancient Egyptian calendar consisted of only 360 days in a year, had 12 months of 30 days and 24 hours within those days. She asked for help from Thoth, god of the moon, scriptures, sciences, messenger and recorder of the deities, master of knowledge, and patron of scribes. It has been said that Thoth was secretly in love with Nut and didn’t hesitate when she asked for his assistance.

Thoth was able to play dice with the moon and granted Nut five extra calendar days in order for her to give birth to the five children: Osiris (god of the underworld), Isis (goddess of healing, magic), Seth (god of war, storms), Nephthys (goddess of the night, mourning), and Horus the Elder, the falcon-headed god. These children were not welcomed and were considered intruders in the divine community.

木にまつわる伝説・神話

伝説の樹木の神々 (14)

ヌート〜 エジプト神話に登場する天空と木の女神

天空の女神ヌートは、最も一般的な木の女神であった。

第21王朝のカルトナージュに描かれた、女神のような、女性のような、樹木のような。これは木の女神である。女神は通常ヌート、まれにハトホルやイシスである。木は通常、スズカケノキ (ｴｼﾞﾌﾟﾄｲﾁｼﾞｸ) である (ただし、スズカケノキの単語 ‘nht’ は「木」の一般的な単語として使用されていた)。多くの場合、女神が故人の手に清涼な液体を注ぎ、その傍らにバー (人間の頭を持つ鳥) が立っているか、枝の中で羽ばたいている様子が描かれている。

古代エジプト神話によると、ヌートは、空と天の女神である。大気の神シュウと、その妻で湿気と降雨の女神テフヌートの娘である。彼女の兄であり夫は、大地の神であるゲブである。ゲブの笑い声が地震を起こし、作物を成長させると信じられていた。二人で抱き合っているところを、父親のシューが無理矢理引き離し、天と地とが分かれたとされる。この神話はエジプト神話の中でも特に有名で、横たわったゲブの上にシューが立ち、ヌートを支える図像はよく知られている。

ヌートは5人の子供を身ごもったが、太陽神のラーは公式暦年の間に出産することを禁じた。古代エジプトの暦は1年360日で、30日の12ヶ月と1日24時間から成っていた。彼女は、月、聖典、科学の神であり、神々の使者であり記録者であり、知識の達人であり、書記者の守護神であるトトに助けを求めた。トトはヌートに密かに恋心を抱いており、彼女に助けを求められたとき、躊躇しなかったと言われている。

トトは月とサイコロで勝負し、ヌートに5人の子供を産ませるために5日余分に暦日を��えることができた。その子供達がオシリス (冥界の神)、イシス (癒しと魔術の女神)、セス (戦争、嵐の神)、ネフティス (夜、哀悼の女神)、そして鷹の首をもつ長老ホルスである。しかし、これらの子どもたちは歓迎されず、神々の共同体への侵入者とみなされた。

What the fuck is wrong with people

Why do things have to be destroyed to get attention? There are other ways. This is just so sad. First The Sycamore Gap Tree and now Stonehenge.

What’s your favourite type of tree?

Every time I think about sycamore trees, I think of him.

Like the time we've woven together. Rough patches, soft whispers.

Branches reaching out and intertwining, yet sometimes swaying apart.

Yet the roots that are deep and steadfast remind me of our bond.

Like sycamores, we bend, we sway, but never break.

In this forest of life hand in hand we'll create our own ecosystem. A testament to growth, to change. Resilient, ever-reaching, forever intertwined.

At the same time, his beauty resembles a sycamore tree as well.

I could write about him for hours on end.

I cannot believe some person(s) have felled the Sycamore Gap Tree at Hadrian's Wall.

Such a crime, to nature, humanity, poetry, art, history.

It's left me mainly without words, it's such tragedy? Yes I have shed some tears over this tree.

I cannot stop thinking about a many-hundreds-of-years-old tree and the life it has had, the things it has seen, the air it has breathed, the rains it has tasted, the winds that caressed it's foliage, the hands it has felt hug its trunk, the animals it has sheltered, the dry summers it burned, the long winters it suffered, the many seasons it went through yet endured, the thousands of lives a tree has touched & been touched by, where we have scattered ashes of our loves, brought new life to see, you could have a picnic if you wanted, pop the question if you pleased, it really was a place where you could just be.

All of it, gone. I'm so sorry❤️

Isaiah 41:19-20

“I will put the cedar in the wilderness,

The acacia and the myrtle and the olive tree;

I will place the juniper in the desert

Together with the box tree and the cypress,

That they may see and recognize,

And consider and gain insight as well,

That the hand of the Lord has done this,

And the Holy One of Israel has created it.

Before I came to know Christ I loved nature. I felt so much peace in places where trees and water and animals were and lived. I know many who feel this peace without recognizing it is God in every place like this. It is he who made these beautiful places and spaces. You are seeing a living God in all of it.

“He counts the stars and calls them all by name”

Psalm 147

Imagine this when you are struggling. Think on it. Our God literally knows and has named each and every single star. Do you realize how many there are? He takes the care to know each of them. To name them and place them. How much more do you think of how he must care for you?

To know each of us. Care for us. Love us.

You are never alone. You are always protected.

Our God is an awesome God

A living breathing God.

Jesus Christ is just one of his names.

I bow in love and adoration for all of time.

I was really upset by the news of the Sycamore Gap Tree in Northumberland. Though we are miles upon miles away, I said goodbye through a drawing on an old book page 🍂

Ode to the Sycamore Gap tree

For a tree that stood so tall and broad,

Alone against the gap of sky,

She never need fear the loneliness of her birth,

For her visitors were never shy.

Those finding love in life long proposals,

Or letting lost love in ash form fall,

Many gazed up at her greenest and most beautiful of leaves,

As they walked down old Hadrian's wall.

Photographs in the many thousands,

Famous skyline filmed to keep,

She was the soul of every Northumbrian,

The sacred tree to which we now all weep.

Felled in a senseless destruction,

Taken from us far before her time,

She lays where so many footsteps have trodden,

A death, a murder, a crime.

Now a nation rises in anger,

Against the one who ripped her down,

But we will remember her as the most peaceful of places,

Where the nations heart was found.
