The Ancestor will invite you, after some time, to walk through the forest and you will step from the tree, leaving your human body safe & at one with the oak. The Ancestor walks deeper into the forest and the star stays bright & constant in the sky, for this is the Pole Star around which all others rotate. It is a reassuring talisman.

     You may become aware of forest animals nearby, maybe catching a glimpse of a Stoat, a Fox or a Hare. An Adder may rustle underfoot. Soon you will become aware of an Archer moving stealthily through the trees, almost hidden from view in the thickly entwined leaves. Without hesitation, she notches an arrow to the string and looses it high into the air. You may aware of the sensation of travelling with the arrow, feeling the rush & seeing the forest below. You may watch the arrow arc through the sky and yet be connected to its flight as you watch it return to Earth. The Archer smiles at you. She may offer you an arrow as a gift of luck for your journey.
