Books on the Celtic Tree of Life

Celtic-Tree-of-Life-MeehanFor those of you who are fascinated by the artistic quality of the Celtic Tree of Life, I highly recommend Aidan Meehan's book, Celtic Design: The Tree of Life. It's a good guide for anyone who wishes to understand the meanings in the design of the Celtic Tree of Life symbol. If you are already experienced in Celtic art, this book will help you create your own designs. But the Tree of Life is too complex a design for the novice Celtic artist. It is not a good starting point in creating your own Celtic designs.


Celtic-Tree-MysteriesCeltic Tree Mysteries, by Steve Blamires, offers a comprehensive look at the mystery surrounding the Celtic Tree of Life, with powerful insights as well as clarification of many often misunderstood aspects of the theories. After reading this book, you will understand the physical, mental, and spiritual lessons of each of the sacred 20 trees and be able to start incorporating that wisdom in your own life. You can read this book again and again and always gain fresh insights and deeper wisdom to live a better, more enlightened life.


Celtic-Tree-OracleThe Celtic Tree Oracle is a great resource for learning how to use wisdom of the Celtic Oracle in your daily life. Based upon the ancient divination system, this modern version presents clear insight into the meaning and history of sacred Celtic trees. The gift-quality package includes a book explaining each of the 25 cards as well as instructions for using them. The authors of the book explain how each card's meaning is connected to the history of its corresponding tree.


For a more detailed look at the meaning of the Celtic tree of life, there is no better resource than Mara Freeman.

Kindling-Celtic-SpiritShe has made it her life's work to study Celtic spirituality and holds degrees in Literature, Education and Psychology.

Mara Freeman is the author of Kindling the Celtic Spirit, which is highly regarded by critics and readers alike as the definitive source for understanding Celtic spirituality and how it can be applied in modern life. Rather than being shallow and fluffy, as so much literature about Celtic spirituality is out there today, she brings academic authority to the subject, yet writes with honesty and clarity.
