The Celts believed the Irish wooded landscape was full of spirits. They also associated the spirit or heart of the great oak with fertility and centered with wisdom with the Tree of Life. Often Celtic clans gathered socially underneath the mighty oak to discuss clan issues like a meeting of public officials today. Like Native Americans, the Celts revered nature and the cycle of life. They valued their relationship to the earth and gathered within nature in honor of it instead of building great temples of stone. The Celt's love of nature and its bond to the earth lead to their many beliefs revolving around trees.
