In Celtic culture the Tree of Life was a representation of how the forces of nature combined to create balance and harmony.
The Celts believed humans came from trees. They viewed them not only as living being but also as magical. Trees were guardians of the land and acted as a doorway to the spirit world.
The upper and lower worlds were connected by the Tree of Life. A large proportion of a tree is underground so according to the Celts, the roots of the tree reached into the underworld whereas the branches grew to the upper world. The tree trunk connected these worlds with the Earth. This connection also enabled the Gods to communicate with the Tree of Life.
The tree also symbolised strength, wisdom and longevity; It represented rebirth. Trees shed their leaves in the autumn, hibernate in the winter, the leaves grow back in the spring and the tree is full of life in the summer.
