The representation of the Celtic tree acutely comes to verve in this model by Celtic artist, Jen Delyth...
Their twigs stretch to anticyclone hooked on the heavens. Their roots dig deep into to the Earth.
Yet all are woven together, suggesting the tie between all tings in the Heavens and the Earth.
In fact, the Irish Druids understood the Sacred trree had the influence to bare messages from the gods.
To the sea-faring and fishing Celts the catch fish was
and of predominant importance. The Celtic indication of
the fish, unusually the salmon, represents know- ledge, wisdom, divination and mystic inspiration. In Celtic mythology the Salmon of Wisdom were
the keepers of all knowledge, which they gained by consumption the nuts of the sacred hazel trees.
Salmon and trout were regularly associated to sacred
wells and springs, which were sitting room of unrefined
curing and Celtic cipher of spiritual rebirth.
