Each Symbolic Meaning Of Trees

By Linda Ruiz


The tree has always been one of the most majestic entities that can be found in the world. Many people are at awe at the sight of trees because of their beauty and their splendor. However, only few people would think outside of the aesthetic properties of this entity and go deep into the symbolic meaning of trees. For those who are interested, here are a few possible symbolisms.

Probably one of the most common of all symbolisms would actually be strength and resiliency. No matter where it is placed and no matter how hard the weather conditions may be, it will always be able to withstand hardships. Its roots would represent its will to withstand the pressures and its trunk represents its iron strength.

The Celtic race also had their interpretation of this respected entity. Now they believed that trees were an embodiment of knowledge and wisdom simply because they could live up to a hundred years. Because of this, it is actually able to witness a lot of things that would happen around him and would therefore acquire a lot of wisdom of life.

If one would read the Bible, he will notice this entity also has its own symbolism. Now according to the book of Genesis, which tells the story of how the world was created and how humankind was created, there were two majors trees there. These are the tree of knowledge and the tree of life.

Now if one would take a look at the metaphorical meaning behind these two entities, one would see that they actually symbolize birth of new ideas or new things. Now these two entities produced fruits that would be able to influence the ideas of how mankind thought. In a sense, the fruit represents the idea that was created while the tree would represent the one who created the idea.

In many cultures, the tree is believed to symbolize equality and centrality. This entity has no gender nor does it have any side. It just stays there, flourishes, and gives its fruit to the people. It is for this reason that many cultures believe this entity to be the epitome of balance because it possesses an equal amount of each converse trait.

Now one very common symbolism for the tree is definitely motherhood. This entity would carry all the traits that a mother would. These entities give food for people to eat, a home for animals to seek shelter, and protection to everyone who lives under it from the harsh weather conditions of the earth.

Lastly, the tree is the ultimate representation of nature and all things that are natural. Trees are known to be the center of all nature and is one of the first entities to have said to come out during the creation of the world according to many cultures. It is because of this that people would use it as a representation of nature itself.
