The Celtic Tree Calendar is a calendar with thirteen lunar divisions.
The modern tree calendar is based on a concept that letters in the ancient Celtic Ogham alphabet corresponded to a tree.
Although you don't have to follow a Celtic path to celebrate the Celtic tree calendar months, you'll find that each of the themes in the Celtic tree months ties strongly to Celtic culture and mythology.
Each lunar period you will be able to buy a tree sapling from us for just £5, which is kind to your pocket and the planet.
The current tree:
In the Norse eddas, Yggdrasil, the world tree, was an Ash.
The spear of Odin was made from the branch of this tree, which is also known by the Celtic name Nion, pronounced knee-un.
This is one of three trees sacred to the Druids (Ash, Oak and Thorn), and this is a good month to do magic that focuses on the inner self.
Associated with ocean rituals, magical potency, prophetic dreams and spiritual journeys, the Ash can be used for making magical (and mundane) tools -- these are said to be more productive than tools made from other wood.
If you place Ash berries in a cradle, it protects the child from being taken away as a changeling by mischievous Fae.
To help prevent the spread of ash dieback, ash is unavailable to purchase so no trees will be available to buy this month.
