Tree Of Life Jewellery

Tree of Life

Edinburgh’s scenery is forever changing thanks to her trees, skies and dynamic climes.  Photos and memories feature dramatic skylines, flowering pink cherry blossoms and old broadleaves crowning over the top of ancient granite buildings.  There are hundreds of thousands of trees in Edinburgh, clustered into wee woodlands in the North of the city, fringing great parks and walkways in the New Town, cracking pavement slabs with their huge gnarled roots in Marchmont.  Trees are as familiar and sturdy as the stone buildings themselves and will forever be part of the elemental tapestry of this vibrant and haunted city.

What does the Tree of Life mean?

The Tree of Life symbol is as ubiquitous and powerful as trees themselves. The subject of myths, legends and folk tales, the Tree of Life motif evokes a deep knowledge and innate understanding of the interconnectedness of life.  The Tree of Life symbolises the sacred bond that unites all living beings and the connection between Heaven (sky and birds) , Earth (fruits, flowers, branches for weaving) and the Underworld – where root systems and mycelium networks communicate and share resources.  The Tree of Life also serves to remind us of the intrinsic abundance of life, there is enough for all, if we can maintain the balance and harmony embodied by the Tree of Life.

What does the Tree of Life pendant represent?

Jewellery is a powerful tool to help us to connect to an ideal or practice. Used since the dawn of civilisations, jewellery can be used as a talisman to help ground ourselves when we are feeling adrift in the world.  The Tree of Life pendant helps us to visualise being grounded whilst still reaching up for a higher or lighter perspective.  The Tree of Life pendant is worn not only to express our appreciation for this connection between Sky and Earth, Earth and Soil, but also to nurture unity and peace within ourselves – sometimes a life long journey.  The Tree of Life represents the source of life, a force that connects all lives, and the cycle of life, death and rebirth.

What does the Celtic Tree of Life pendant mean?

The ancient Celtic pagans believed that the Celtic Tree of Life represented the interconnectedness of all forms of life; the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, as well as the connection between the earthly realm and the spiritual world.  The Celtic Tree of Life is a symbol of family and Celtic heritage, representing a connection to the past and future, an ode to the ancestors who created us and our  descendants yet to come.  The Celtic Tree of Life pendant honours the connection to family and re-affirms our purpose of maintaining harmony and balance.  Following this path cultivates strength, wisdom and potential – only an acorn can grow into a mighty Oak. 

Edinburgh and the Tree of Life

Edinburgh 2030: A “Million Tree City”

Trees are more important now than ever and Edinburgh is working to become a “Million Tree City”.  Trees act as reservoirs for biodiversity, create more breathable atmospheres, provide shade and shelter and are pretty to look at throughout the seasons.  For many people, trees are the most accessible form of contact with nature.

In today’s fast-paced world, many people are drawn to symbols that offer a sense of grounding, spirituality, and connection to something greater than themselves.
