There are more than 50 ways to cut down a tree. I'm sure each lumberjack thinks his own method is superior. As long as the tree doesn't come down on anyone it's all the same. But to each his own right? Every spiritual practice has it's merits and it's shortcomings. That is why we sometimes overlap. Out of neccesity.
As long as the tree has been chopped down, then we are all good. I am interested in the manner of sealing used. Not in the thread though, but I have interest for rather obvious reasons. But if that causes a negative impact or weakens it in anyway then nevermind.

Glad everything is all smoothed over with everyone,
I wonder if it might be worth while taking this all one step further and creating a new thread to discuss in further detail; everyones point of view and perhaps sharing of information in regards to dealing with and identifying the variations of demons or otherworld beings.
Its a shame really we couldnt all get together for coffee eh?
Blessings to you
Its a good day,

I zoomed in on it using Photoshop and I can see what could be a face of sorts, looks like a wolf to me.
Using Accented Edges you can see it a bit better:

Hey there everyone,
Everything is still very good here and I am not posting to tell you that any problems have re-emerged ... far from it
The reason for this post is to add one of the photographs that was taken on the night (for our own personal records). As you know specific details have not been shared for obvious reasons and that rule still applies.
However, I can tell you that besides the calling of the 'Elementals' and the 'Ancient Ones' the two guests of honour who we called upon for assistance were Hecate (The Dark Goddess of crossroads / caverns / graveyards) and Herne (The Stag Antlered God of the forests and wild places) ...the God and Goddess in their most powerful forms (IMHO) ... and most suitable for this season of the year.
During the night we took both specific and random photographs ... and over the weekend the final batch of photographs were uploaded to our computers ... the picture I am adding was a random 'aim and shoot' taken by Phenex.
Initially we thought it was just a 'black' shot with nothing of interest ... until we checked it on 'full-screen' ... and we were speechless by what we saw.
I don't know how this will show-up on ATS but if you can lighten it a little or see it on full-screen I think you too will be pretty amazed.
Whilst we were in no doubt that Hecate and Herne were present with us throughout ... I believe Herne may have shown himself in this picture.
I'd love to know what you think ... and if anyone has the technical know-how of how to embed a larger copy of this so that everyone can see what we were greeted with on our computer screen I would be so grateful.

I think it might be faster trying to make a list of what it couldn't be.
That is an interesting photo to say the least and in my experience very strange things are caught on camera during a sacred ceremony.
If I had to guess, I would say this is an ancestor or helping spirit, not the green man.
The green man is a primal universal force who can and is able to manifest in times of great need but I have never seen him phyically manifest.
So my personal opinion - A helping spirit, who allowed you to photograph it or was accidently recorded

THe Grimoire of Pope of Honorius is a blend of Catholicism and the occult. It's about 900 years old. It's the most interesting companion I've found. Many find it odd that a Pope would blend the Kaballah, Catholocism, Wicca, etc.... If the Catholic Church had the answer for everything then why delve into these other religions? What need is there?
