The Mystery of Crooked Bush, Saskatchewan

Very interesting!

I live in Saskatchewan, I recently moved up to Saskatoon to continue some music with some friends.
I'd love to visit this grove sometime!

Very interesting! :-)

Thank you for this!

Originally posted by Tasty Canadian Research has found that they grow this way because of a rare genetic mutation, but where did it come from? Why did they mutate? And why are no surrounding trees affected?

I've seen such similar mutation in trees too, of course some place else. I notice whenever I encounter such tree, there's something really strange in the place, even if you're not looking at those trees. The land contour, shape of rocks, even the smell of the place, everything's just different.

Maybe if you excavate the area, you may find something out of place, or simply something that will send chills down your spine!

My ancestral home is in Saskatchewan, i plan to make a trip to Little Manitou lake, Batoche, Cumberland House and i will now add the Battlefords on that list. This grove is sacred to the Witigo, respect must be given.

Wow, didn't it seem that the song and the video went on for longer than six minutes?

Incredible, they appear to be in "Ceremony", check this out and tell me if you do not see the similarity:




Kokopelli Legends and Lore

You know, it appears that Aspen is used by Native Americans for making excellent Flutes; I would be interested to see someone make some Flutes from the trees in Crooked Bush. I bet the music would enchant us all, perhaps even to spread Fertility as Kokopelli would!

Wow, I live in northern Saskatchewan, and have never heard of this either. Would really love to check it out sometime because it really looks cool!

Isnt the witigo supposed to be bad? I mean, everything I have heard about it, it is bad. Like a bad spirit. Always leading Wesackechak (spelling?) astray or something like that...I dont remember lol.

Manitou's mark the land where their spirits dwell. Seeing these twisted trees, i wonder if bad medicine haunts the place, Witigo would twist the life into odd shapes like the twisted spirit itself.

Totally off topic, but are you native by any chance? and if so, what kind? lol, I mean like Cree, Ojibway etc...

For those that are wondering,These are Live Oaks.

I don't know if Oaks are a similar mutation, but I'd like to see if those Aspen could make it down here.
