Britain was once covered in extensive oak forest, and reverence for Trees is at the heart of Celtic spirituality.  The "Tree of Life" is an esoteric philosophy common to many cultures and mythologies.  The Ancients envisioned the entire cosmos in the form of a tree whose roots grow deep in the ground, branches reaching high into the heavens.  The Tree of Life's interlacing branches symbolize the continuity of life.  Black, Gold & Natural.  2 1/2 Layer Throw
