Tree of Life Bracelet

Tree of Life

This symbol is one of the oldest and most universal in human history: it appears in cultures, religions, and philosophies from every part of the world.

It represents the connection between all forms of life, the balance between heaven and earth, the cycle of nature and the spiritual growth of human beings.

HISTORY

In Mesopotamia the first symbols appear in Assyrian and Babylonian bas-reliefs, such as a sacred tree at the centre of the universe.

In Egypt, the tree of life was associated with Isis and Osiris, a symbol of rebirth after death.

In Celtic culture, the tree was sacred to the Druids: it represented the bridge between the earthly and spiritual worlds.

For Jewish Kabbalah, the tree (Etz Chaim) describes the structure of the universe and the spiritual path to divinity.

For Northern European cultures , Yggdrasil, the cosmic ash, connects the nine worlds and represents the order of the Cosmos.

MEANING

• Connection between material and spiritual
  
• Growth and rebirth: human beings grow and regenerate just like a tree
  
• Strength and stability: The solid trunk represents balance and grounding
• Family and ties: the branches represent the generations, the connection between ancestors and descendants

CURIOSITY

In some ancient traditions it was believed that every soul, before being born, was a fruit of the Tree of Life: when a fruit fell the soul began its earthly journey and when life ended the soul returned to the branches, once again becoming a fruit of the cosmic tree.
