The Beech Tree
The symbol of the beech tree has an interesting history of connotations with learning and prosperity.
In a tarot reading the beech tree is a symbol of crossing thresholds, growth and moving from one state of being to another. It is a warning that if we do not confront our challenges and keep moving forward we can become too familiar with the known and safe and become stagnant. We need to keep developing in order to grow.
The gift of the beech tree is that of realisation, experience, challenge and knowledge. It suggests you should face your challenges, gain experience from the unknown and increase your knowledge.
The Celts saw beech as the tree of learning, wisdom and the written word as well as a symbol of prosperity.
The Celtic lesson of the beech is the importance of learning and the need to preserve our knowledge.
