Fairy thorn trees!

-

Has anyone been noticing the hawthorn flowers aka fairy thorn flowers on our landscapes right now, It's glowing all over the place, makes you realise how many hawthorn trees there are out there!

The pic is from the Fairy tree in Sandy Row Belfast which sadly is not there anymore, it was badly diseased when I took this pic about a year ago, but it was said that the Sandy Row housing estate was built around this fairy tree that no one wanted to cut down!

I had a shop at the end of the street here and run around in this area up to all sorts for years from childhood and never knew it was there!

Love all the stories you hear about fairy thorns and I'd believe alot of them, I've had my fair share of magical experiences connecting to nature, we all need to start respecting it more.

They say the Tuatha Dé Danann who were a tribe of gods that lived in the Emerald Isle once retreated into the hawthorn trees when Christianity came to become what we know of today as the fairy people.

Dont you often wonder why this island was the most Christian controlled place on earth, they made such a big deal of here mixing up and dividing, most of the Irish are catholic and many have ill feelings towards the English but it was the pope that ordered England to invade Ireland in the 1100s then when King Billy came again he was blessed by the pope before he invaded again, you couldnt make the whole thing up, someone is having a laugh!!!

I believe its to stop us connecting to our ancient past, this land of Saints and Scholars, a place of magic and mystery, some of the oldest tombs and monuments are right here on the Emerald Isle, we had our own ogham writing system, one of the oldest alphabets, we had a nature based law system way before anywhere else in the world and our connection to nature was the most important thing!

Most of us have forgotten who we really are believing in a manufactured divide and conquer culture. 



When I see the fairy trees glow this year like never before its like the Tuatha are rising again coming to help sort this crazy destructive world we have created.

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with a po

From Spain to Belfast Phantom Planting!

  Phantom planted another apple tree yesterday with my big glaswegian pal who is over visiting! He couldn't believe the size of the orchard now! Last time we planted a tree was years ago in Spain, 2 plum trees we phantom planted out there, sadly they didn't survive but we had great fun doing it in the lashing rain right outside the Buddhist Stupa as you can see in one of the pics, an offering to the Buddha was my intention! I was at the worst of my addictions back then, used to visit this Stupa a lot for spiritual guidance, really found myself out there, spent a lot of time in Spain soul searching, taking advantage of the cheap winter flights and free stay! I had my last ever pint at the airport after praying at this Stupa, the Buddha responded to my offering I believe! Pretty magical really, faith in a higher power guys, that did it for me, there's more to all this life, more to all this all this world! "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"..
