The Celtic Tree of Life is a fundamental element of Celtic spirituality.
from Fantasy-Ireland.com
In fact, the Irish Druids believed the Sacred Tree had the power to reveal messages from the gods.
The ancient Celts believed all living things were spiritual, mystical beings, not just inanimate objects to be exploited. They believed trees in particular were a source of great wisdom with the power to bridge the gap between the upper and lower worlds and bring blessings from the gods.
The Celts were the dominant ethnic and cultural group of Northern Europe for ages. In those days, thick forests dominated the land. With trees as far as the eye could see in Celtic lands, it is no wonder that they were such sacred symbols in all Celtic tribes.
