Grandmother Oak
Rooted
deep in the valley floor, roots drinking
clean
river water, a solitary oak endures for
400 years.
Generations of birds, small creatures
and insects
have occupied and nested within it,
safe haven for
deer and fox. Tribes, villages and
towns have
orbited its sphere through the changing
seasons. Children's hands at play,
gatherers and
cultivators, harsh and
fair weather, starry nights,
the near
miss of the axe and saw and the
searing
cry of the hawk, making
up the history of its days.
This design is
available

this color:
Saddle (in-stock)...Black

birds. Tree of Knowledge, World Tree on whose
leaves the name of every person is written. Cosmic

water, Tree of Sweet Dew, Tree Of The Solar Eagle,

Thistle
Aubrey
Beardsley originally created this thistle
design as a bookplate. Known as one of the
most celebrated book and periodical Art Nouveau
illustrators of the Victorian era, Aubrey Beardsley
was born in Brighton England in 1872 in an
atmosphere of gentile poverty.
Before the age of ten he had contracted tuberculosis
which was the cause of his premature death at the
age of twenty-five. His work was heavily influenced
by the Pre-Raphaelites.
In this illustration, Beardsley created a stylized thistle
with flower heads at the very top. Leaves
and tendrils
descend to the plant at the base.

Celtic Hounds
No
recorded history attaches particular meaning
to Celtic knot work aside from the universal
symbolism of the endless wheel, unending line
or continuation and inter connectedness of life.
However, it is generally agreed that spirals
reflect themes of consciousness and
balance, interlacing the unending cycle
of life and death,
and key or maze patterns
the twists and turns
of life’s journey.
Animal symbolism is more straightforward:
Hounds or dogs represent loyalty, dragon
represents rebirth and birds purity or nobility
and the boar ferocity or strength.
Our best advice when choosing Celtic imagery
is to use ones intuition. Which ever knot you
like best is the one for you!

Oak Panel
Wherever oaks grow or have grown, cultural traditions
associate them with the sacred activities of humanity.
Oaks are included in numerous creation stories and
many of the mythologies of civilizations past and
present. They are associated with: the thundergods
of Greek, Roman and Celtic traditions, magic and the
Druids, sacred to Diana, and readily apparent in the
Jewish and Christian texts of the Bible and the Koran.
An integral part of the Fairy traditions of Scotland,
Ireland and England, oaks and acorn play a role in
love divination and prophecies of oracles. Symbol
of the World Tree, oaks are known for the healing
properties of the bark and leaves and as a major
foodstuff of indigenous cultures in the Americans
and Europe. Most species of oak live to a great
age, not producing acorns until they are seventy
to eighty years old.
