Introducing Our Brand New Birth Tree Range
We’re constantly on the lookout for fresh and innovative ideas, and expanding into a birth tree range felt like the next logical step following the success of our Birth Flower Collection. It’s a unique concept that hasn’t been widely explored yet which, I think, makes this even more exciting! If the demand is there we’re more than willing to expand the range further. When I was designing these, I wanted them to have that delicate, beautiful feel that fits within our brand. I absolutely LOVE the outdoors, I would happily spend all day in my garden, so crafting designs based around nature makes me so happy! Let’s dive a little deeper into the symbolism of birth trees and where they come from, shall we?
The ancient Celtic druids had this beautiful belief that trees held incredible wisdom and meaning. They saw the universe as this big tree, with roots delving into the past, a trunk representing the present, and branches reaching up to the heavens and beyond. From this connection came Celtic tree astrology, a bit different from what we’re used to, with thirteen astrological signs, each linked to a specific tree and its own set of personality traits.
The Rowan Tree: January 22 – February 18: Rowans, the philosophical minds of tree astrology, possess a profound vision and ideals that guide their influence. Planted near doors, they ward off evil and stand as guardians of the spirit world’s gateway. With quiet influence, Rowans inspire others with their unique perspectives and inner passion. Patient expression of their creativity and ideals earns them admiration and recognition, making them highly influential figures in their own right..
The Ash Tree: February 18 – March 17: Ash are the free spirits of the bunch. They see the world as a canvas, full of endless possibilities and vibrant hues. While they might seem withdrawn at times, it’s only because their minds are always buzzing with creativity. Nature fuels their inspiration, and they effortlessly captivate others with their unique charm. Whether it’s through art, writing, or deep contemplation, Ash are always in their element. They’re constantly evolving, unshackled by the opinions of others.
