Celtic tree of life

Intricately intertwined branches and roots кCeltic Tree of Life form a strong and earthy Celtic symbol often associated with the Druids.

While the branches stretch towards the sky, the roots penetrate the ground. For the ancient Celts, the Tree of Life symbolized balance and harmony. Rotate this symmetrical Celtic symbol 180 degrees and its appearance remains the same.

Known in Irish as Crann Betad, this Celtic symbol represents the belief in the intimate relationship between heaven and earth.

The Celts believed that trees were the spirits of their ancestors, providing a link between their earthly life and their future.
