Nature was an integral part of the celtic belief system, plants were honoured as teachers and gifts of magic. The celts believed that everything contained a life force and seen magic in all things they found in their environment.
Below you will find various herbs, shrubs, flowers and trees and their meanings in folklore. They have been split up into alphabetical order just to make life that little bit easier but as this section grows they will be allocated to their own letter.
I hope you find what you are looking for, if there is a plant you would specifically like to see included please contact me and it will be added.
