The Ogham: Celtic Meaning of
Symbolic Trees
Do some research on Celtic meaning
of symbolic trees and odds are your journey will never end. So rich and intense
is this path of knowledge that lifetimes could be devoted to the subject.
Indeed, the ancient Druids committed decades of their lives in soulful
contemplation of the cosmic expressions manifested in trees.
The ancient Celtic people were much
like the first people of North America in that they were spiritually
progressive. This advancement is born from an intense union with nature and
subsequently, aided these people in aligning with energy on a cosmic level.
We see evidence of this alignment in
the Ogham and this system will serve as the basis for much of the information
on the Celtic meaning of symbolic trees.
At its simplest, the Ogham is an
ancient Celtic alphabet consisting of twenty characters. These characters were
simple and easily drawn using downward and upward strokes. Scholars theorized
that these characters might have been conveyed as hand signals (much like sign
language on a simplified level) too.
When we get past this face-value
definition of the Ogham, we discover that the Celts intertwined their communion
with nature into this writing system. They did this by assigning a tree to each
of the twenty symbols of the Ogham (or more accurately, vice versa). Stepping
into another level of intricacy, we find each tree represents a particular
characteristic within the Ogham.

Summary of the Celtic Ogham System
of Wisdom
The Ogham consists of twenty alphabetical symbols.
Each of these symbols represents a sacred tree.
Each tree represents a feeling, attribute or essence.
For example, the first letter of the
Ogham is "B" the symbol identified as Beithe which means Birch. Ergo,
the birch tree is associated with this letter of the Ogham. The Celtic meaning
here speaks of renewal, rebirth, and youth for reasons I will outline in pages
to come.
