Trees mirror in many ways the life cycle of human beings: they are
born from seed, they breathe and drink, they grow to maturity,
reproduce and eventually die from age or disease. Their branches,
roots and the veins of their leaves resemble human blood vessels,
and certain species even ooze a reddish, blood-like sap when
damaged.From ancient times, people appreciated the spiritual value
of trees, singling out individual trees for special veneration. In
Ireland the roots of tree worship reach deep into pagan Celtic
religion and spirituality. Christine Zucchelli looks at these
trees, from Fairy Thorns to Rag Trees, from Mass Bushes to Monument
Trees. This fascinating exploration of their stories and legends
reveals their spiritual, social and historical functions from pagan
times to the present.
