To the Jewish mystics studying it in the context of the Kabbalah as a symbol of wisdom and a system of organizing knowledge, and with the Torah being called a Tree of Life to Shamans seeing the tree as a symbol for ascending and descending into the levels of existence: the underworld, the middle world of daily life, and the heavens (the Axis Mundi) .. .
to Celtic and Pagan people honoring sacred trees… .
to its repeated mention in the Christian bible, as part of the Creation story (the Tree of Life in the garden), and its being equated with wisdom and hope,
to Hindus holding the tree of life in regard because both its branches and roots are growing in both directions, as a fertility symbol, and also showing that what lies beneath the surface of the situation is often as involved as what is obvious…
as a symbol of the Sacred Feminine, as it portrays nurturing and strength, the importance of strong roots, growth and connection to Mother Earth,
to seeing our families as organized in a “family tree” showing the interconnectedness of the human family …
