The Power of
Lightning Struck Wood
A piece of wood that has been struck by lightning is believed to be the most powerful talisman available. The lightning struck tree is empowered by Divine Forces and provides Protection against ALL Harm.
How do I find Lightning Struck Wood?
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.

Recently I found a tree that had been struck by lightning, whilst walking my dog in the forest.
The whole area was silent, I prayed to Gitche manitou with the utmost Gratitude, then collected about 7 lengths of wood each about 12 inches long.
I am now making Cleansing fan’s with feathers I’ve collected, Swan Goose Crow & Pigeon, and decorating them with Crystals and beads, each will be given as a gift to my Spritual family.

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.

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
I have a cedar tree that was struck by lightning; blew the limbs and bark off I’d one side … 3 years later it is still living … so I am going to cut it down and donate it to my son’s boyscout troop to be turned into a totem pole in hopes it brings them luck and protection.
Thank you for sharing, Lance. That is an amazing purpose for such a wonderful tree.
I’ve been struggling with a lot of issues in my life lately, from health problems to personal issues. Thursday night I had to tell two people I live with that they had to leave and it was a horrible blow out. Last night at midnight lightning struck the tree in our backyard and shook our entire house. Wood is scattered all over our front and back yard. Thankfully it looks like the tree will survive but I can’t help but wonder if there is something to this. The timing is so convenient for what has been going on in our lives plus the stroke of midnight strike. Just wanted to share this wild experience.
Thank you for sharing Hael. An interesting experience for sure!
My Norfolk Island Pine was struck on one of its trunks. I’m going to wait to see if it’s going to survive. It did blow out a beautiful piece of the tree, about 5 feet of bark leaving a smooth finish add the tree. Do different trees have different magical spells?
I definitely feel that different trees align better with different spell work. I would look up the metaphysical properties or magical uses for Pine and see what strikes you. Pun intended. <3
