Bark of black pine

Bark of Asiatic black pine 🌿 It was the central part of our ritual to venerate the ancestors several days ago, the Japanese believe that the spirit of this tree is a direct door to the world of the ancestors.

A red ribbon "cures" the tree against diseases caused by the world of spirits.  It also prevents the evil spirits from entering our world from the world of the spirits, the fruits and flowers at the foot of the tree are a tribute to the gods of the earth, and as a gift, the tree let us take part of its bark that would have  fallen to the ground

 I will use this bark to make a beautiful talisman to dissipate the vindictive spirits and bury it in the garden behind my apartment.
