The primary background skill of Druidian magic is the control of the mind and its states of awareness. A great deal has been written about the basics of these skills - relaxation, concentration and visualization. The combined result of these skills is called 'trance' - directed, self-willed states of consciousness.

The human mind is constantly entranced, shifting between habitual types of awareness according to the random events and reactions of daily life. In ritual Druids use their skill to induce special trances in which they feel awe, respect and love for the Powers and which make them receptive to the blessing offered by the rite. 

The Grove: Tree Meditation

“Ta muid anseo leis na deithe a adhradh.” Opening prayer  (“O Gods, whose power gives life to everything which is alive, be you here with us.”) 

We begin with centering.  Focus your attention on finding your personal center, as described below. This can be seen as finding your "seed" of individual power and awareness. 

Then it's time to put down "roots." You can visualize and/or feel psychic roots growing out of the bottoms of your feet. You ground yourself to the actual dirt/sand/rocks that you happen to be standing upon, feeling the connection between yourself and the planet. If you are indoors, extend your awareness through the floor and directly downwards as far as necessary, until you connect with the Earth. If you are several stories up in the air, you may need to link yourself to the building first, then feel its connections to the Earth. If you are in an airplane or space station, you may need to skip grounding entirely. 

Think about all those dead ancestors of yours, buried in the earth, as well as your predecessors. Make the psychic link to them, feel yourself as a part of something very ancient. Then return your mind to the recent past, thinking calmly (like a tree would) about any important events that have occurred to you in the days or weeks previous. Contemplate the highs and lows with equal dispassion, and think briefly of the lessons each had for you. Then feel yourself absorbing nourishment from all these sources: the rock of the Earth-Mother and all Her holy biosphere, the rich psychic soil of your ancestors and predecessors, the spiritual compost of the lessons you have recently learned. Feel this nourishment flowing into you like sap rising up a tree. 

As this sap rises up your legs and into your trunk, lift your arms as if they were branches. Feel your entire being glowing and growing, visualize branches sprouting out from you in all directions, reaching out to the limits of your aura. Feel the breeze blowing through your branches, let your mind become very clear and settled (your leaves will rustle in the wind, but your center should remain calm). 

You are now in touch with all Three Worlds: the Land beneath your roots, the Water running through your trunk, the Sky caressing your branches. Now let your leaves begin to absorb the Firey light from above (whether sun, moon or stars) and the hidden Fire within the Earth below. This Fire will circulate throughout your entire being, making your body, mind and soul glow with its creative power. You have become a human tree. 

If you are using this meditation with several others, it is the time to create the grove, by extending your roots and branches until they meet and intermingle with those of the others. Realize that you are all rooted in the same Land, drinking the same Water, beneath the same Sky, and receiving the same Fire. With that realization, feel yourself becoming one with the others, merging into a single being -- the grove, something that is far more than the sum of its parts. 

The entire Tree Meditation section should take five to ten minutes, depending upon the time necessary for you to “trance out.” 

Returning
If you are with a group, someone should lead by softly reminding everyone to pull back their psychic branches and roots from being interwoven with each other's, and to become individual trees again. 

As an individual tree once more, release any remaining excess energy that they might have and which you don't need. You can send this excess through your roots into the ground (the other sense of "grounding" mentioned earlier).  Then slowly begin pulling back your roots and branches and "becoming human" once more.  As the feeling of your humaness returns you should refocus your attention on your personal center. 

“Molann muid thu mar gheall ar do chumhacht.” – Invocation   (“We praise you for the brightness of your power.")
