Soul Tree

A Soul Tree was a sacred tree planted in the forest of the moon of Endor at the time of an Ewok's birth. The Ewok was thought to be spirtually connected to the tree, meaning that the condition of the tree hinted at the health or character of the Ewok to which it was bound. Upon the Ewok's death, his or her hood was attached to the Soul Tree's trunk, and the Ewok's spirit was thought to take up residence in the totem tree.

Due to their connection to the ancients, the Soul Trees as a whole were thought to be a source of power for Ewok shamans. These holy Ewoks often tried to make contact with the ancestors and to draw upon their power through the medium of the Soul Trees. Shamans could be very secretive about these rituals. Morag the Tulgah witch tried to destroy the Soul Trees of Bright Tree Village by burning them with enslaved Wisties. The plan was thwarted when Wicket W. Warrick and his friends doused the trees in magical foam.
