![]() ![]() In some areas, it was customary to drive out the spirits of the old year with birch switches, and throughout Europe birch twigs were used for ‘beating the bounds’. In Britain the birch rod was used rather more ferociously to purify the criminal of their misdeeds, and earlier still in an attempt to expel evil spirits from ‘lunatics’. In Scandinavia, switches of birch are used on the body to stimulate the process of purification in the sauna, and can be used in Druid sweathouse rituals too. Again, the birch tree is an appropriate symbol for this process of purification in preparation for new beginnings. Often, before we can give birth to the new, we need to cleanse ourselves of the old. The Ogham can also be used for divination, and when we draw the card, or throw the disc or stave of the birch, we know that this signifies new beginnings for us, and -depending on its relative position in the spread – we know that we must either pioneer a new endeavour or that something is being born in our lives. So it is a tree of birth – an appropriate tree to symbolise the first level of Druid working, when we are born into this new way of seeing and knowing. It is known, for this reason, as the Pioneer Tree, and it can be seen also as the tree which helps birth the forest. This is fitting, for it is the birch that we plant first on virgin land if we want to create a wood or forest. It is the first tree in the Ogham Cipher, and as such represents the number one. The Bardic school or grade is symbolised by the Birch Tree. ![]() ![]() But it was the poet Robert Graves who, following in his grandfather’s footsteps as an Ogham expert, brought this arcane system into public awareness once again, with his publication of The White Goddess in 1948.Īn example of Tree Lore: Beith - The Birch Tree And from Scotland, transcribed from the oral tradition in the seventeenth century, we have The Scholar’s Primer. Amongst our sources of information about its use, we have from Ireland the twelfth century Book of Leinster, the fourteenth century Book of Ballymote, and O’Flaherty’s Ogygia (published in 1793). Its origins are lost in the mists of time, and most of the existing inscriptions have only been dated to the fifth and sixth centuries, but whether originally Celtic or pre-Celtic, we may sense that it carries with it some of the very earliest of Druid wisdom. The Ogham characters were inscribed on stones and probably on staves of wood. It is similar in purpose, but separate in origin from the Nordic runes. It consists of twenty-five simple strokes centred on or branching off a central line. This is known as the Ogham (which means ‘language’ and is pronounced o’um, or och’um). If the exercise works for you, you will have experienced something of what it means to be a Druid – a man or a woman who even today can feel the pulse of life in the earth beneath them and the trees around them.ĭruids today use a particular method for communicating and remembering their wealth of tree-knowledge. It’s important to say it out loud, because the voice has magical properties. I know the secrets of the oak and the wildwood.” Say it several times over, with as little inhibition and as much conviction as you can muster. To get a sense of how it might feel to be a Druid, try saying this: “I am strong – a steadfast seer, a knower of magic and enchantment. Other scholars suggest that Druid is derived from the pre-Indo-European root deru – which means firm, solid, strong or steadfast, combined with the root weid – which means to see, creating a term that could translate as ‘Strong Seer’. The Druid was one with ‘knowledge of the trees’ and was a ‘Forest Sage’. Those who possessed knowledge of the oak possessed knowledge of all the trees. Some modern scholars agree with the classical Roman and Greek authors that the most likely derivation for ‘Druid’ is from the word for oak, combined with the Indo-European root wid – to know, giving their translation of the word Druid as ‘One with knowledge of the oak’ or ‘Wise person of the oak’. ![]() ![]() ![]() This helps you to remain clear on your priorities without being distracted by tasks that belong to another month. One of the key tenets of my Functional Planning philosophy is to keep your task lists broken down by month so you are only looking at the tasks that are due in the short term. Task Management Insert #3: Monthly Task List For example, when I sit down to plan my month, I reference this list to ensure I am scheduling in when I will complete each task into my month, and knowing which day I was able to complete the task the prior month helps me to schedule it better for my current month. This insert creates a system that almost queues up repeated tasks for your monthly planning without you having to remember them each month or go back through your past months planning pages to find repeat items. For additional tracking, instead of simply checking off the box for a month when the item is complete, I like to write in the day of the month I completed it so I have that information for future reference. This insert is great for tracking monthly payments, plus work, chores and habits that we touch on a monthly basis. Task Management Insert #1: Forward Planning Insertįor tasks we do on a monthly basis, using a reoccurring task list like the Yearly Task Planner gives you the ability to list a task that repeats monthly, and then check off when that a task has been completed for that month. I am going to share with you three such time and task management inserts now, and explain what I use each for and how it creates a system for task management while integrating nicely into my overall planning system. Meaning, that by using a specific insert, you have given yourself a system for organizing, prioritizing and focusing in on your essential work. Instead of the common task list, I prefer to use some specific inserts that are in and of themselves systems for time and task management. Prioritization is key when it comes to task management because if we cannot do it all each and every day, it’s important that we know which tasks are the most important so we can take care to manage our time around the completion of essential work. Here the old trope rings true- there is always more to do in a day than we can actually get done- and unfortunately task lists don’t help us prioritize our workload the best. When it comes to task management, I recognize that task lists are usually the default mode for organization of tasks, but making long lists of things to do is not really the best way to efficiently organize. It's proven that writing things down by hand helps with memory recall-and the Year Task Planner is a great place to start.ĭo you have a Year Task Planner method that helps you stay organized? Let us know in the comments below. Check out our Planners Collection to explore this planner in even more detail, discover brand new formats, and so much more.As it is currently the middle of January, now is the perfect time to lay out known tasks for the year and create systems to manage new tasks efficiently so that no task gets let behind… at least none of the most important tasks.

The different sabers each have unique styles and special moves. Later in the game, the player can choose to wield a single saber, one saber in each hand, or a “saber staff” similar to the double-ended lightsaber, one, the infamous Sith Lord Darth Maul used in The Phantom Menace. The player can create a custom lightsaber by selecting a hilt and one of five-blade colors. Jedi Academy places a heavy emphasis on lightsaber combat.

With this in mind, several businesses have taken the chance to redesign this product to create a body suitable tape that is made specifically with binding, and the diverse needs of the transgender community, in mind. Though KT tape has been used “off-label” by transgender people for quite a while, some users found the tape wasn’t as ideal for their needs as it could be. This has long made it an ideal choice for doctors to give to patients, especially those practicing sports medicine. KT tape is made to adhere to the body using a body suitable adhesive, can stretch while holding things in place, and is resistant to sweat and water. It can also be worn for longer periods than a binder can before removal.Ī post shared by Sof Whitney trans-specific tapes are a slightly altered version of kinesiology tape (known as KT tape), which is marketed for use on muscles to aid the body in healing from and preventing injuries. It also avoids using compression to achieve the appearance of a flat chest. Unlike traditional binding garments such as binders/compression garments, trans tape is generally easier to customize to the body and needs of the individual, and some might find it more comfortable or affordable than other options for binding.
