With the rich mythological history of the Oak, there are many symbolic meanings associated with the great “king of trees.” While of course a symbol of strength and endurance, the oak is also associated with the “tree of life,” whose roots penetrate the Underworld and branches reach to the heavens. The ancient Sanskrit word ‘duir’ gave rise the words for both ‘oak’ and ‘door,’ suggesting that the oak serves as an opening to greater wisdom, or even an entryway into the spiritual realm. In addition to representing qualities related to power and durability, the oak tree was considered a bearer of good luck, fertility, potency, healing and health by the Druids. In keeping with its soaring height and strength, oaks also serve as symbols of sovereignty and power, as well as justice, honesty and bravery.
