Have yo ever stopped for a while and caught attention of our relationship with our environment.? Have you ever perceived the beauty of trees while walking through a park, or even felt excited by the scented beauty of a butterfly upon a flower?. If you did so, you will certainly be aware of how nature may take influence on our health, energies, and human emotions. We realize of our deep connection with Earth, and as we balance our relationship with our ecosystem, we take notice we should become protectors of Nature and all her creatures. I wrote this book from a Celtic point of view, honoring the respect that ancient Celts kept for Nature. Trees were believed to be the abode of the sprites or divinities that in many cases had power over vegetation. They honored the trees and groves with a conscious homage to the spirits that inhabit them, and their hidden meanings as featured in the Ogham alphabet. They kept their sacred places in dark groves where the spirits of nature dwelt, and Celtic priesthood used to gather on these sacred groves. Certainly the nowadays custom of touching wood, to ward off evil or to wish good luck, is a living remnant of the ritual practices of our ancients, a time when they were used to pay respect to the tree and the healing powers of the spirits and deities that inhabited trees and groves. With the present work you will surely find worthy to learn more about the symbolism of the trees and their relationship with your own inner spirituality. It is almost a personal guide to become a Tree Hugger...
