Trees are a magical presence in our lives. It is considered a good idea to say “knock on wood” during a conversation when we hope future events will unfold for us in a favorable way and to ward off any misfortune. You can connect with the wisdom, beauty, and magic of trees when you visit a wooded area. Find a big beautiful tree and spend some quality time with it. Be silent and stand still. View the sights, colors, smells, and movements nearby. Watch the leaves as they turn gracefully in the wind. Think of a wish or dream that you have, then knock on the wood three times to get the protection and blessing of the tree. You can also say or think these words:

As I stand silently and knock

on this tree, please provide

protection and luck for me.
