Forests, groves and single trees possessed a particular sanctity for the Celts, evoking life and longevity, symbolising death in winter and resurrection in spring. With roots, trunk and branches, trees reflected a link between the upper and lower world, and were bridges between chtonic and celectial powers. In Ireland, trees are mentioned as sources of sacred wisdom, interconnected with concept of Sacral Kingship, each tribe possesing its sacred tree, where king of old would stand to be inaugurated, as a symbol of continuity. wisdom and sovereignty.
