19.01.2022 The Sacred Mooja or WA Christmas Tree ~The Tree of Souls~ Don't Pick the Flowers! ... "The Moojar tree (Nuytsia floribunda) commonly known as the Western Australian Christmas tree. The moojar was regarded as highly spiritual because it was associated with the spirits of the dead who according to the ‘old people’ camped on the branches and flowers of the tree on their way to Kurannup the land of the ancestors across the Western ocean. They said to us: ‘We don’t like to go near this tree.’ The cultural significance of Nuytsia floribunda is well established in the early ethnohistorical records. Daisy Bates in an article in The Australasian (1926 in Bridge 1992: 150) refers to it as the ghost tree and in a later publication (1938) the tree of souls. Her Noongar informants call it the moojarr or Kaanya Tree (kaanya, meaning recently departed soul). Bates emphasises that this tree was sacred to all Bibbulmun people throughout southwestern Australia from Jurien Bay to the east of Esperance. She categorically states that: ‘No living Bibbulmun ever sheltered or rested beneath the shade of the tree of souls; no flower or bud or leaf of the tree was ever touched by child or adult; no game that took shelter beneath it was ever disturbed.’ (Bates 1938 in Bridge 1992: 153)" https://anthropologyfromtheshed.com//traditional-signific/
