Celtic Tree Wisdom and Magick (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781494841331)

Trees are common archetypes among all cultures around the world. In fact, sacred trees are found not only in the Celtic one, 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 eternal life. The Celts had a strong worship of natural sprites, and trees were primarily believed to be the residence of these regent spirits or divinities. In fact, a Celtic religion belief is accepted nowadays as relatively certain, such as the studies conducted by Druids about their energy fields, timbers, and medical virtues. Certainly, the modern custom 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 paying respect to trees and the healing powers of the spirits and deities that inhabited trees and groves. With the present 244 page special edition, issued with cute artwork and full detailed graphics, you will surely find it worthwhile to learn more about the symbolism of trees and their relationship with your own inner spirituality. You shall certainly discover with this book not only your regent tree, its magickal properties, and herbal uses and qualities, but also be aware that the bigger and older the tree is, the stronger and soothing it is for your healing process. I should confess that these reconnections with Nature Sprites I have been experiencing for all these years led me to develop a "Celtic Tree Oracle" card deck which I hope to launch and share with you soon.
