LYRA

Tulip Poplar is an Ancient Tree, a World Tree.  Known by scientists as Liriodendron tulipifera, this beautiful tree goes by many well-loved, common names such as Lyre Tree, Canoewood, Fiddle Tree, Whitewood, Yellow Poplar, and Rainbow Poplar.  Tulip Poplar's unique leaf shape is reminiscent of an angel wing, a fox face, and a harp with golden strings. Its fragrant, golden flower cups present as arboreal holy grails and light-filled cauldrons. Tulip Poplar is a sanctuary that holds the medicine of Bear, Blue Heron, Fox, Canary, Deer, Frog, Lion, Wild Mustang, and Chickadee.  A dazzling Rainbow Dragon resides inside every Tulip Poplar tree.  Deeply rooted in the southern Appalachian Mountains, Tulip Poplar possesses a courageous, golden heart and was traditionally offered itself as a potent, gentle heart medicine. It holds The Keys.  A counselor, a writer, a songstress, a protector, an oracle, a shapeshifter, a teacher, and a patient listener, Tulip Poplar is an impenetrable fortress of Divine Light.
