The Ancient Celts? The Celtic Tree of Life? Hmm, interesting.





Ancient Celts believed that the Tree is literally Mother Nature. That the Tree made sure to protect and hold the spirits of the ancestors' in Nature.


This symbol exists in many cultures like China, Ancient Egypt, Europe, and the Mayans. This is traced all the way back to 2000 BC.


The Celtic Tree of Life is similar to the infinity symbol... Well in my opinion.

The Celtic Tree of Life has knots, knots that symbolize the branches and roots that are in a continuous knot that's supposed to spread between Heaven and Earth. In simple terms, this means that there’s no end or beginning… Eternal life, never ending.


Harmony, balance, and love lies in the center of the Tree. The Celtic Tree of Life is symmetrically balanced. 


Yes I said.. Balanced.

Birth, Death, and Reincarnation.
