Tree Mysteries

Published by Llewellyn Worldwide
Celtic Tree Mysteries
is an imperative for those interested in the ancient study of trees and
the Celtic history of that study. Steve Blamires takes the reader on a
thorough and fascinating journey from explanations of the Ogham script to
the deep, hidden meanings of ancient Celtic mythology.
The author has divided his
work into three parts. The first covers, in depth, the origins, tree
calendar and development of the Ogham. The second part of the book is
broken down into discussions and detailed information on each type of
tree, from Birch to Yew, beginning with a study of the "three levels
of a tree". Part three talks about the combinations of trees,
the Irish legend of the frenzy of Mad Sweeney and the trees not listed in
the Ogham.
Well worth the purchase, this
volume is essential for those pagans constructing a library of reference
manuals. It might be referred to as the "definitive authority on
ancient Celtic tree knowledge".
