The beech tree (Fagus Sylvatica) is my personal favorite, exuding feminine energy and a canopy reminiscent of a cathedral. It offers beauty in every season. During this time of year, it provides shade from the day's heat with its wide green leaves and developing nuts in its Mother phase. In Autumn, it puts on a display as its leaves turn yellow and then bronze. Transitioning from Mother to Crone, it sheds its leaves, revealing its wisdom, scars, and curves. You can sense its strong, stoic, grandmotherly presence deep in the woods as it stands bare, adorned with Arbor-glyphs. In spring, it transforms once more into its maiden phase, presenting a vibrant lime green canopy and delicate flowers.
