Tree of life in different cultures

 Celtic Culture – the tree in Celtic culture represents the “other world” and their
smooth connection. Just as a tree connects the earth to the sky, starting from the roots,
through the branch, to its crown.

 Buddhism – the tree of life is the Bhodi tree, or Tree of Enlightenment.
 Islam – the Tree of Immortality in the Quran is also the tree of life. It appeared in
Eden and is a tree that Adam and Eve ate from after Allah forbade them.

 Judaism – the Tree of Life is what sustains and nourishes life. It stands at the center of
a fruitful garden planted by Yahweh.
 Ancient Egypt – in Egypt, the tree was a symbol of death and abundance at the same
time. The trunk symbolizes a center of universe, branches the heavens, and roots the
underworld. Everything is connected to life and death, like in the circle of life.
 African Culture – the baobab tree (bottle tree) collects water and bears fruit even in
dry land, which helped the African people to survive. It is a symbol of life.
Despite the wide range of cultures in which the tree of life appears, without a clear affiliation
to any of these cultures, we can interpret the Tree of Life in many ways. How?

Simple symbolism of the tree of life:
 Connection of everything in the universe: tree roots reach deep into the earth and its
crown reaches into the sky. This means taking food from mother earth and energy
from the sun and moon.
 Ancestor, family and fertility: the tree of life has a complex network of branches that
represents the family’ development throughout the generations. It is a symbol of
fertility because the tree always finds a way to continue growing, through seeds or
new seedlings.
 Strength and growth: this is a universal symbol of strength and growth. The tree is
strong, high, takes deep roots, and is therefore stable. It will survive the most severe
storms. Growing tree – from a small sapling it can become a mighty tree.
 Individuality: each tree is unique, symbolizing personal growth. Over time, it gains
unique characteristics.
 Immortality and rebirth: tree is a symbol of rebirth because trees lose their leaves and
go to sleep for the winter, but with spring, new buds and leaves appear. It is a symbol
of immortality because it creates seeds to live in a new tree.
 Peace: a symbol of peace and relaxation. Just looking at the trees and taking energy
from them is relaxing.
