Sterling silver pendant, Celtic Tree of Life

The Tree of life is an almost universal symbol found in many of the traditions and cultures of the world. The Tree symbolizes life itself, with its branches reaching for the heavens ( Father Sky) and its roots buried deep in the ground ( Mother Earth).  Many origin stories come from the idea that all living beings are born or made from the earth. That the Earth is the source of life and sustenance for all.

The Tree of Life has become a symbol of love, rebirth, strength, redemption, friendship, bounty and encouragement. The tree resonated with a strong meaning of unity. It also shows that all forms of life are connected in a cosmic web, nd we should learn to live in harmony with all living beings.

The Tree represents different qualities and virtues across many traditions. It is a symbol of ‘ Creator’. It is also a symbol of the human experience. We as humans develop the roots of our beliefs, we branch out by means of acquiring wisdom, with the trunk of mind and body keeping them connected.
