I was amazed and intrigued when I came across a particular tree mythology from ancient civilizations and thought I might share it with you guys.
During the ancient civilization, the Celts had a deep knowledge of the natural world surrounding us. They also have a calendar that’s sophisticated and was created by Ogma, the Celtic god of learning and eloquence. Their calendar contains letters which were characterized by straight or slanting lines carved in edges of stone blocks. The calendar is also called the Tree alphabet because the letters in the calendar takes the name of a tree revered by the Celts – the guardian tree. They believed that one’s guardian tree is based on one’s birth season.
I checked out their calendar and found my guardian tree: Holly. Holly is known and loved for its healing properties, beauty and strong wood. They can live for 250-300 years. Holly is characterized by glossy leaves and clusters of berries. These berries are poisonous to humans but important for birds. During the tribal gathering in early years, a successor of a celtic chieftain is crowned with a holly wreath. Today, it is the symbol of Christmas. Holly means health, happiness and wholeness. Now that’s a pretty interesting guardian tree isn’t it? Check out what your guardian tree is and learn about its uniqueness.
After taking this all in, I am planning on planting a tree in celebration of my next birthday. It sure would feel great giving back to nature and protecting the environment.
