In the Lesser Sunda islands of Indonesia
The inhabitants of Kedang believe in a tree of gold

Its blossoms were like golden chains
And its fruits were like golden earrings

The Iroquois of upper New York and beyond
Say there was a cosmic tree that supplied the only light during the first of 3 great periods
That existed before the luminaries of today were placed in the sky

The Seneca maintain there was a great tree of light with snowy white flowers
That grew in the middle of the sky
But when the flowers fell darkness came over the land

The Onondaga assert that the blossoms of a heavenly tree caused the world to have light
And the Mohawk claim there was a celestial wild cherry tree with white flowers that gave light
It had vines and ropes resembling serpents
That were wrapped in helical form around the trunk of the tree

A unified worldwide image existed of a tree reaching into the sky
That supplied light to the world during a time of persistent darkness
Displaying a number of discreet structural shapes

It was an aurora of extraordinary intensity
A giant column that sprouted dendritic lightning like branches
Its plasmoids and spiraling filaments added to the spectacle

The primordial Tree of Heaven was the precursor to the Christmas Tree
It preceded creation and blazed for an indeterminate time thereafter

The Christmas Tree with its lights ornaments ribbons and star on top
Is a faint reminder of the former glory of a heaven spanning luminous Tree of Life
With the Saturnian sun god shining forth at the apex

From base to summit
Energetic and bright
This is a wonderous splendor for our sight

How richly God has decked thee
Thy candles sparkle so brilliantly

It was a magical tree that possessed an intrinsic luminosity
In Hindu literature it was a golden wish tree decorated with gems

On the top of the tree were 10 suns that cast light downwards
These 10 suns were the Merkabah with Saturn in the middle

This phantasmagoria shifted colors
Starting out as a blue beam
It shifted to an effervescent white and became the Milky Way or the Holy Ghost

Then during the Golden Age it became the yellow brick road
That led to the land of the Great Wizard!
