Celtic Holly Meaning
The Celtic meaning of holly deals
with ruling the wintery realms with style, dignity and honor even in the midst
of great challenge.
Just as the oak tree is the king of
the green realm and ruler of the lighter half of the year (the solar months
when the sun is closer to the earth and sheds more light on the days), the
holly is its counterpart.
Holly is the ruler of the white
realm, king of the darker half of the year (the lunar months when the night
pervades, and the annual era in which winter resides).
When all other flora have long lost
their blush and gone dormant for the winter, the holly can be found still be
brightly verdant against the stark white landscape. This serves as a symbolic
reminder of many beatitudes:
Symbolic
Messages from the Holly
Let your beauty shine within even in times of dormancy
Rule the day, and let your generosity be your legacy
The energy of life is ever-present
The ancient Celts would bring holly
into their homes for their bright, cheerful disposition. They were also
considered a symbol of good luck.
Just as the oak attracts lightning,
holly repels lightning. It was often planted around homes for protection from
lightning, and for this reason it is viewed as a symbol for protection.
Interestingly, science has actually
discovered the distinct leaf-shape of the holly acts as a natural repellent for
lightning energy, making the holly's protective significance more than just
lore.
Holly leaves are very prickly, and
deemed another metaphor for protection, vigilance, and stubborn victories won.
When you are feeling the walls cave in on you, call upon the holly. Invoke its
protective qualities and you will soon find you no longer need be on the
defensive. The holly will protect and bolster you to victory.
As the ruler of winter, the holly is
also associated with dreams and the subconscious. Druids would often invoke the
holly energy for assistance in dream work as well as spiritual journeying.
