"Worship" is inappropiate name

[edit]

Cultures that see trees as sacred, and/or that have trees as important in their mythologies, don't actually "worship" the trees. The closest may be puja offered to tulasi in Hinduism, but even that is about honouring the spirit who has in mythology sometimes taken the form of the tree. I propose a move/rename. Perhaps to Sacred trees, which already redirects here. - CorbieV 20:56, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, since no one has weighed in, I'm going to take this as uncontested and uncontroversial and move it to something more fitting. - CorbieV 19:33, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Inca tree-symbolism

[edit]

I came across this reference about tree-symbolism among Inca's, I suppose this reference will be helpful to the article if some one one works upon the same.

Trees in African mythology.

[edit]

How is it that many parts of the world have been extensively researched on trees in mythology yet Africa has only been mentioned twice? I come from a tribe in Kenya where an African fig tree 'mukuyu' is honoured as the shrine of God( yes God, not gods). Lets discuss trees in African mythology.

Move to "Sacred Tree": "Mythology" is not a synonym for "non-Abrahamic religion"

[edit]

This article is not about "trees in mythology" but the concept of the "sacred" tree. It is the singular to sacred grove's plural. Currently, this article treats the word mythology as a synonym for non-Abrahamic religions. That is not OK. Please move this article to sacred tree—which is currently a redirect to this page—and let's go from there. :bloodofox: (talk) 03:53, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To resolve this issue, I've rebooted sacred tree. :bloodofox: (talk) 18:30, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
