The Celtic Meaning Of Trees

Birch is the tree of beginnings
Renewal and youth's winnings

Rowan has magic of protection
And also emotional connection

Alder helps to provide strength
And endurance to go the length

Willow is a tree of great vision
Giving power of female intuition

Ash helps to give us knowledge
Sometimes it's better than college

Hawthorn is a tree of contradiction
Consequences, relationship friction

Oak gives the leaders of nobility
Their strength and their stability

Holly moves us forward to action
So we progress with no distraction

Hazel builds up our creative ways
While keeping pure our hurried days

Apple helps up to find our true love
And sends generosity from above

The Vine reminds us should relax
And meditate to find the real facts

Ivy brings change to patient few
If determined to find out what to do

Reed lends it's harmony to growth
If you swear by ancient secret oath

Blackthorn seeks to find control
And perspective to make you whole

Elder is the tree of continual evolution
Helping to finding an ongoing solution

Fir brings needed energetic sincerity
To find achievement and certain clarity

Gorse is good if you need resources
Or to expose any possible evil forces

Heather is for those who are in love
Filling you with feelings, light as a dove

Aspen stands strong for an army's victory
When you don't wish to be contradictory

And then there is the holy tree of Yew
Helping to clear illusions in front of you

Author notes

The Celtics had meanings for all the trees they found in their land. Their significance was passed down from generation to generation, enriching the lives of their clanmates and future kin.

    I found this both interesting and educational. I knew the meanings for a few of them, but not all. Very interesting. Thanks for entering.
