I have a connection thunder storms and to Thunderbird. This connection is part of who I am and my path as a catalyst to help others to find their way. My elder has even named me as such. He refers to me in Dakota as Wakinyan Wi luta or Red headed Thunderbird Woman. He says that I carry great change with me. I feel that is a correct assessment, as I am often the person that triggers others to find their own true path. Perhaps I have even helped you on yours.
The trees that I have gathered wood from were struck while I was close enough to find the tree after the storm had past. The White Oak was struck many years ago and was calling to be spread out into the world. I also have bark, wood, and chips from a Black Cherry that was struck last year during our Women’s Gathering and a friend has sent me some precious Red Wood, gathered with permission from private land in CA.
I honor the spirit of the tree by leaving offerings, thanking it for its life, and asking it if it would like to share its new energy with others. There have been trees that have said no. That is always respected. Others, like the Oak that is available in the shop, are very excited to help others all over the world.
Yes, I speak as if the trees have a voice and life… to me, they do. All things; plants, animals, birds, bodies of water, the woods, etc.; have a spirit, a voice, a life… if we just take the time to listen. They have many things to teach us. Become still enough to listen and they may help you along your path. This is part of being in balance with nature.
Many years ago I beaded a pipestem and created a soapstone bowl for a personal perhaps someday a ceremonial pipe. The pipe called for a lightning motif on the bowl and stem. I wasn’t able to use it as the pipe would not let me until now. I anticipate an activating ceremony in the near future and feel called to use wood that has been struck by lightning in the ritual. Additionally I will need a tamp for the pipe and want this type of wood for that as well. I will likely purchase wood from you. Please provide me with any suggestions as to how you might think I would proceed.

What happens if you do burn lightning struck apple wood?
If you are just burning the wood to burn the wood… nothing. If you are using the wood with intention, then it will help to manifest that intention.
I have a black cherry tree 10-ft round at the base 50 ft high has been struck by lightning what shall I do with it?
Live in Castalian Springs Tennessee.
Whatever the tree tells you to do with it! <3
Can you charge crystals with lightening struck wood?
You can enhance the crystals with them. That is often done by adding the lightning struck wood to a spell bag / mojo bag or a crystal grid. Did you know that there is also lightning struck quartz. We sell it in our Crystal Shop – Crystal Cave Rocks on Etsy. http://crystalcaverocks.etsy.com
