What does a tree tattoo symbolize?

Answer 1

Alritey then, tree tattoos are many different things as far as their symbolism goes.......To the ancient pagans and heathens the tree was the symbol of life.....The druids revered the oak tree as a sacred living thing..The ancient Norse [viking] people believed that all life started with the tree yggdragsil upon which ODIN hung for 9 days and nights to gain great wisdom...

Many of the tattoos you see of trees relate to one or more creation stories.....And then, the bearer of such a tattoo might just be a tree hugger......Hope this helps.........TatuBaron

Answer 2

Landscaping plans show deciduous trees as a double rough circle (the approx. circumference of the canopy of the mature tree) and a small circle (placed where the trunk of the tree appears in the landscape) sometimes with stylised branches, and conifers as a multi-armed star (approx. the size of the base or lowest ring of branches).

Beech Tree VLoF Prosperity

Ancient Romans revered the beech tree, as it was sacred to Diana. They carried the wood as a "good-luck" talisman, poured libations of wine over the trunk, and liked to lie in its shade. Others believe having beech wood in the house will prolong labour and childbirth as well as complicate a spirit's passing at death. Beech is a favourite wood for Yule logs.

The Celts saw Beech as the tree of learning, wisdom and the written word as well as a symbol of prosperity. The Celtic "lesson of the Beech" is the importance of learning and the need to study and preserve our written knowledge for the benefit of generations to come. "rooted in the knowledge of the ancients, sustained by the ideas of the present, we will continue to reach for the stars.

It is said if you carve the words of a wish in a piece of beech wood and bury it in the soil, as the wood decays the wish will come to manifestation.

Variously the beech has been associated with Ogma, Hermes, Thoth, Mercury, Odin, & Cronos.
