OakWise Offerings Pouch

The Sacred Oaks

The oak tree held immense significance to the Druids, ancient Celtic priests and spiritual leaders. Revered as the "King of Trees," the oak represented strength, endurance, and wisdom. Its longevity and deep roots symbolized the Druids' connection to the ancestral past and the cosmic order. Oak groves served as sacred spaces for rituals and ceremonies, where the Druids sought guidance, knowledge, and communion with the divine. The very word "Druid" is believed to have originated from "Dru-wid," meaning "Oak wise" or "knowing the oak." This association highlights the profound link between the Druids' wisdom and the sacredness of the oak in their beliefs and practices.

Offerings Pouches

In ancient times, offerings were given to spirits of place and to invite blessings, express gratitude and to build the sacred relationship we have with them.

One way of doing this is through the giving of herbs, or oats, or salt. These pouches are for keeping your offerings in, to take with you on medicine walks, or walks out to connect with the land. 

Offerings can be given when entering a field or forests to thank the spirits there for welcoming you, or given as a thank you to the spirits of a place if you have been meditating there and they have shared with you a particular insight. 

These offerings pouches are made with soft leather , and each have a bronze Oak leaf and acorn charm attached to them.
