	According to ''Meditations'', this ritual was somewhat controversial when it was first formulated.

It was initially codified with their scholastic and political support despite criticism from magicians who pointed to [[Strength of the Bull]] as a more efficient way of creating an almost identical effect. When a [[Declaration]] of [[Imperial lore]] was raised in the [[~~Imperial~~ Conclave]] for this ritual it was defeated. To quote Callus however "''It is all very well saying “it is easier to create this enchantment with Summer magic!” but the fact remains that, even in the spires of my homeland, not everyone is a Summer magician, and when you do not understand the lore the enchantment might as well require you to juggle the moon and the sun for all the ease with which you can master it.''"

	As the name suggests this ritual resonates strongly with the [[Astronomancy\|astronomantic]] constellation of [[the Oak]]. As with many enchantments designed to empower a person, performing the ritual often involves adorning or girding the target with objects ~~symbollic~~ of the strength it provides. Freshly gathered leaves or blossoms are particularly effective, but wholesome food and drink might also be consumed as part of the ritual. So clear is the connection between the ritual and the symbolism of trees that some covens recommend performing the ritual in the presence or shade of a sturdy tree, the older the better.
