This ancient oak in Meavy village (south Dartmoor) is reputed to be the last Pagan dancing oak in Devon. It's over 800 years old and a knarled being, propped up with a crutch (on the L of the pic).

Unfortunatly the word 'pagan' has negative connotations today, but actually the pagan religion had a deep respect for nature and our intrinsic connection to it. I can't help wondering that the loss of this way has helped create so many of the environmental and social problems we find ourselves facing.
