Resources on different types of magic

[sunflower47]

Again, not sure if this actually belongs here. But anyway...
I mentioned this in another post and I thought I'd actually ask the question here.
Does anybody have any good resources on tree magic? Or just working with trees in general? Since I've started my practice I feel like trees are something I connect with really well, and I'd love to include them more.
Also, and I really feel like this is a weird question, but I'm curious...
Does anyone here do any magic or any other spiritual based practice with storms? (Like any kind of storm... snow, thunder, ect...) I have a thing for storms, and I've only ever been able to include them by adding drawings to my altar (of storms). I'd like to connect to them more... if that makes any sense at all.

I don't really have a formal method for how I work with trees and plants and I don't know that I could coherantly explain it , but her approach is a solid start if you are interested.

I love working with storms and storm energy If you want you could try one or more of these approaches for starting points :

1. I like to collect storm water ( rain ) in ritual bowls that I set out during the storm and use them for later purposes like annointing or mixing inks for painting or other art.

2. I like to charge crystals in the storm particularly smokey quartz. the stored storm energy in the crystals can be used later in ritual or spells or w.e. function you can design for it.

3.  I don't know if you do any meditative or astral work but you might want to try doing it during a storm. I like to emmerse myself in storm energies and the presence of the storm not always to a purpose just as an experiance and to deepen my knowledge and bonds with them.

I hope that helps you out a bit. Sorry I don't have any books to link or anything on either topic but I am just as hopeful as you that someone posts some for us to check out Good luck.
