Legends and myths about trees

Celtic beliefs in trees (11)

L for Luis (Rowan) - January 21st - February 17th

“Lady of the Mountains - Second month of the Celtic tree calendar”

Star: Sun; Gender: female; Gemstone: tourmaline; Patron: Brigantia, Brigid, St. Brigid; Symbols: living vigour + holy fervour, life force + spiritual power

Slender tree with smooth grey bark and graceful branches reaching towards the sky. In May, it produces an abundance of plump white flowers, which cluster together to form clusters the size of an adult palm. The flowers are very small, with five petals and sepals, and the ripe berries turn from green to red as autumn progresses. The rowan nut has a small pentagonal star shape on the opposite side of the base, and the pentagram has been known as a symbol of protection against evil since prehistoric times.

The rowan tree is dedicated to the ancient Britons' goddess Brigantia and the Irish goddess of liberal arts, Brigid who is associated with wisdom, poetry, healing, protection, blacksmithing and domesticated animals. Both Brigid and Brigantia have an aspect as patron goddesses of farmers and their livestock, promising the arrival of spring and a bountiful harvest. Together they are said to keep shooting flaming arrows made of rowan, which follow the sun all year round.

Since they are the goddesses who spin the thread and weave the cloth, it is they who continue to weave the everlasting fabric of life, guide the sun through the stars that occupy positions in the sky and keep the wheels of the seasons turning.

The Celtic festival of Imbolc takes place on 1 February and is dedicated to Brigid. This is because Brigid brings inspiration and visions to us and awakens the spirit of the year from its sleep. Imbolc is also the first 'Seasonal Purification Day' that comes around in the year, and on this day, the witches celebrate the Sabbath.

Rowan was once thought to be protected by this tree, as was the earth energy contained in ley lines (straight lines connecting ancient sacred sites and ruins) and menhirs (standing stones). Druids planted these trees at their ritual sites and used the smoke from burning rowan trees to invoke the spirits of the dead and warriors. The smoke from burning rowan trees was also often used to predict the course of a love affair.

For the Celts, the rowan was a symbol of nature's abode and vigorous life activity. Sacred, yet magically powerful, the rowan tree protects us from temptation and disease and was therefore discouraged from being cut down.

木にまつわる伝説・神話

ケルト人の樹木の信仰 (11)

L は Luis (ﾅﾅｶﾏﾄﾞ) - 1月21日～2月17日

『山の淑女〜ケルトの木の暦の第2月』

星: 太陽、性: 女性; 宝石: トルマリン、守護神: ブリガンティア、ブリギッド、聖ブリギッド、シンボル: 生きる活力＋聖なる熱情、生命力＋霊力

なめらかな灰色の樹皮をもつ、すらりと細身の木で、優美な枝が天にむかって伸びている。5月になると白くふっくらとした花をふんだんに咲かせ、それらが群がって大人の手のひらほどの房を作る。花はとても小さく、5弁の花びらと萼ををもち、秋が深まるにつれ、熟した実は緑色から赤色に変色する。ナナカマドの実には柄の反対側に小さな五角形の星型がついているが、5線星型は太古の時代から魔除けのシンボルとして知られている。

ナナカマドの木は、古代ブリトン人たちの女神ブリガンティアや、アイルランドの学芸をつかさどる女神ブリギッドに捧げられている。彼女は知恵、詩、癒し、保護、鍛冶、家畜と関連している。ブリギッドもブリガンティアも、農牧の民とその家畜を守護する女神としての一面を持ち、春の到来を約束し、豊かな収穫をもたらすとされている。この二人は共にナナカマドでできた燃える矢を放ちつづけ、その矢は太陽の後を一年中追い続けるといわれている。糸を紡ぎ、布を織る女神であることから、とこしえに続く生命の布を織りつづけ、天空に位置を占める星の間を縫って太陽を導き、季節の歯車を回し続けるのもこの二人である。

ケルト人の祭りであるインボルクは2月1日に行われ、ブリギッドに捧げられる。ブリギッドが霊感や幻視を私たちにもたらし、一年の精霊を眠りから覚ましてくれるからである。インボルクは一年で最初にめぐってくる「季節祓いの日」にも当たり、この日、魔女たちはサバトを祝う。

かつてレイライン (古代の聖地や遺跡を結ぶ直線)やメンヒル (立石) に含まれる大地のエネルギーは、ナナカマドに守られていると信じられていた。ドルイドたちは祭壇の場にこの木を植え、ナナカマドを燃やした煙で死者の霊や戦士を呼び出していた。ナナカマドを燃やした煙はまた恋の行方を占う際にもよく使われた。

ケルト人にとって、ナナカマドは、自然が宿すシンボルであり、旺盛な生命活動の象徴でもあった。神聖で、しかも魔法の力をもつナナカマドは、誘惑や病気から私たちを守ってくれるので、伐採は慎むべきとされていた。

Devotion to Brigantia

Flame of life,

Mistress of the Fire,

Brigantine,

I call to you.

I lift my hands in praise,

and lower my head in reverance.

Your fire blazes inside my breast like an eternal light,

guiding my soul to it’s next destination.

Guide my steps,

light my life,

and firm my limbs so that I might be strong.

Su̯au̯elos ac u̯âleti̯â¹, Briganti̯â!

Surêdis² tê, Pali̯âcâ!

(Greetings and welcome, Brigantiâ!

Farewell to You, Pali̯âcâ [the Cailleach]!)

¹ = Gàidhlig fàilte (welcome)

² = Gàidhlig soraidh (farewell)

Happy Ambiu̯olci̯â/Imbolc/Îu̯os Briganti̯âs to all who are celebrating, have recently celebrated, or will celebrate soon.

I love the custom of tying clooties to tree branches around a well but I don't have a way to get to the one I like to go to so I made clooties and, since images of Brigantiâ/Brìde often have a spear or a sword, I tied them to my spear and cladi̯omâros/claidheam-mòr/claymore.

The rest: a scented candle called "Sparkle & Shine", a fresh linen scented candle, floral musk and French lavender incense, a buganðð/cruχ Brigantiâs (bogha/cros Brìde), a wooden tile with a Gallo-Etruscan B, a wooden tile with an Ogham B, and milk.

Song is "Summoning the Gods" by Trobar de Morte.

I really can't express how much I love this brand. It's a small seller off of Etsy and literally every package I get is so unique and beautifully wrapped it feels more like a gift from a friend. :)

You can really tell there's a lot of love put into these polishes with the performance, the packaging, the variety between collections and the types of finishes that are released.
