From Dreamscapes - Myth & Magic:
The Major Oak in Sherwood forest with its massive spread of branches arcing out overhead, and the mysterious hollow in its giant girth may not possess a named spirit; but by virtue of its place in the folktales of Robin Hood. It was said this mighty oak hid Robin Hood from his enemies in the hollow if its trunk. It has stood for 1000 years, dwelling place for the spirits of the greenwood, and imbued with the power of the stories it has witnessed.
Younger oaks may not claim such a grand place in legend, but it is hard to deny that they seem to writhe with their own spirit when one takes in their sinuous trunk and arching branches. The dryads hide beneath the veneer of bark and pith and beckon to those who walk the trails beneath their boughs to come and press an ear to trunk and hear the pulse at the heart of the wood.
