It’s this link with the other worlds, that makes the oak a tree of the crossroads. Oak was often planted at crossroads to use as a place of transference. Transference magic has been linked to the oak for a long time. It can be used to transfer a spell or prayer to another world, or used to transfer one state of being to another.
It’s also why this tree is regarded as a tree of prophecy and divination, as it accesses information from all the worlds it touches.
The oak is also a wonderful tree to give as an offering, but also to leave offerings near. In the same way that oak can fast track a prayer, so to can it fast-track offerings. It’s probably this, along with the link with Diana, that also connects the Oak to the Virgin Mary.
Oak can also consecrate, empower and ensoul because of it’s links to the otherworlds and to divinity. Being a favoured tree of witches, the fair folk and witch gods lends the mighty oak this power.

One of Oaks most fascinating properties is it’s use as an iron substitute. Ancient people believed that the core of the oak tree was made from iron, which is why it was a favoured tree of thunder Gods. It’s a fascinating combination of having many of the properties of iron, and yet is not aggressive towards the fair folk. Steeping iron in a dye made from oak is also believed to nullify some of iron’s aggression towards the fair folk.
Oak can be used to make doorways to other worlds. Oak trees often form doors the world of the fair folk. If you work with the fair folk, this could be a useful tool for you.
