at Harriet Tubman's grave, there is a majestic old spruce whose incredible height reaches towards the heavens while it’s long sweeping branches drape down to create a protective canopy over her headstone, and whose meandering sturdy, deep roots caress and stabilize the sacred ground where her spirit was liberated to return to the ancestors and her body was liberated to return to the earth. this is the essence of that tree.

made according to instructions given while visiting her grave... i returned on the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox and winter solstice to make offerings and make an essence of this spruce that tends Harriet's grave. those four holy day essences combined make up this offering to you….Harriet's Spruce

an essence of ancestor and plant veneration, an essence of protection, care, aspiration and grounding for those making sacred sacrifices for liberation.
