The Oak - King of Trees
The sacred oak, heart of the nemeton, symbol of strength, wisdom, and druidic power.
The oak was the most sacred tree to the Celts, its name possibly the root of 'druid' itself (dru-wid: oak knowledge). The oak represents enduring strength, the connection between earth and sky, and the gathering of wisdom over long ages.
As the oak stands firm through all storms, so stands the heart that knows truth.
The oak's centrality to druidism shows the Celtic integration of tree wisdom into spiritual practice.
