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.
