Tree Legends

They are multitudinous, from every land and every era. A means of entering the Seventh Heaven and a clever synthesis of the four Elements, the tree nourishes with its sap not only oriental beliefs, but Greek mythology, as well as the wisdom of Gaelic druids, Apple tree of the Hesperides; Biblical olive with its soothing branch; cypress, pledge of immortality; oak dedicated to Zeus; and pear tree, which tormented Tantalus; all form a forest reflecting the slumberous waters of the Symbol.
