About the work
Trees are common archetypes among all cultures around the world. In fact, Sacred trees are found not only in Celtic but also in the Norse, Hindu, and Egyptian, to name a few… Even in Christian traditions we can certainly trace the questionable (so called)“pagan” origins of the Christmas tree, a symbolism in unison with the evergreen trees of the eternal life
Celts,Norse, and Germanic traditions had always retained a veneration for sacred groves and sacred trees, as part of their own conception of the world. A creed that was later banned by Christian missionaries and ironically gave birth to the decorated Xmas tree. Anyway some of these beliefs survived and it is recorded that by the European 12th Century it was used to hang the Fir trees upside down from the ceilings to symbolize the Holy Trinity.
Celts had a strong worship of nature sprites, and trees were primarily believed to be the residence of these regent spirits or divinities. Being in fact , a Celtic religion belief accepted nowadays as relatively certain, such as the studies made by Druids about their energy fields, timbers, and medicial virtues.
Pliny wrote of the Celts, “They esteem nothing more sacred than the mistletoe and the tree on which it grows. But apart from this they choose oak-woods for their sacred groves, and perform no sacred rite without using oak branches”.
Certainly the nowadays custom of of touching wood, to ward off evil or to wish good luck, is a living remnant of the ritual practices of our ancients, a time when they were used to pay respect of the tree and the healing powers of the spirits and deities that inhabited trees and groves.
With the present work you will surely find worthy to learn more about the symbolism of the trees and their relationship with our own inner spirituality.
