Sacred Tree

Many villages in Errinundera have a sacred tree. This is where births, deaths and marriages are celebrated; mayors perform their civic duties; magistrates administer the law; and children swing from the branches.

The sacred tree in inextricably tied up with the village. Should such a tree die it is as if the villagers have lost their very soul. Whole villages have gone walkabout in search of a new sacred tree. More often the inhabitants drift apart and become absorbed into the multitudes of Errinundera.

Having said that, the community never treats their sacred trees too seriously - even sometimes giving them quite profane names (see Fanny Moo).

The custom in Errinundera is to use Capital Letter Technology for sacred trees. This custom is followed concientiously.
