(Treebeard learns from us the Earth word for deva and we learn from him a story from his youth he drew from out of his vast storehouse of memories of when he and his friends held a ceremony to attract a deva which had to be repeated many times over the years before a deva came to a spot chosen as sacred. After that it became a very holy place where the deva could enter and still was as of the recording.)

We clapped, we unwound round, we walk back through two fires and we commenced celebration of offering. Land beautiful that year, great harvest of smell, taste little plants, do not know word in your language.

Russ: uh-huh.

Treebeard: we repeat offering with twin fire, central fire and round. Friends gather and offer gift for coming of collecting of the plants. Repeat many times over many years. One day wind in quiet part of garden where trees around. Garden now grown, grown also am I with first love of beauty, not just past and attraction. Sit in garden we were. A 140% water in total. But odd thing happen in secluded area where no wind, wind come. Feeling of comfort come, churon here, feeling of joy. Finally after passing great time churon happy. Garden bloom wonderful, creature that not come before come down off hill, move into area, stay out of holy spot. Many years have passed, spot now holy within the garden, a retreat for churon, also entrance for churon. End story.

Russ: thank you very much.

Treebeard: (speaking to Tia again) young lady sit down, question or not.

Treebeard: now go away I.

Russ: okay, farewell, thank you very much.
