By the end of the second millennium and at the beginning of the third, the fantasy genre had flourished. Authors such as Tolkien became incredibly popular, various historical and reconstruction circles began to flourish, and theme music and literature began to be popularized on a huge scale. Since the origins of fantasy are rooted in the bowels of ancient Celtic culture, consumer interest has grown in its relation. This applies, of course, to Celtic Christianity, but mainly in Western society the main attention is paid to the more ancient pagan component of the Celtic genius. First of all, this is, without a doubt, druidism.
Druid Wood Horoscope
The lost spiritual culture of the Druids left little to the descendants. It looks more like a shadow of unknown, mysterious and intricate secrets cast on modern society. The reason for this is that the ancient Celtic priests did not keep records, did not even have scriptures. This was strictly forbidden, so as not to divulge inadvertently the hidden wisdom to enemies and unworthy. But this is precisely what played a cruel joke with the Druids - when the last of them passed away, most of the authentic religion, mysticism and science of the Gentile Celts went into oblivion. One of the few things that has been preserved is the Druid horoscope for trees and flowers - it can be restored quite accurately.
Features of the Celtic horoscope
Celtic spirituality was distinguished by specific attention to plants, especially to trees. In itself, this is natural for European paganism, but nevertheless it is with the Celtic priests that sacred oak forests and rituals that were held in them in antiquity are primarily associated. So the Celtic horoscope is focused not on the stars, but on plants attached to a particular period. In accordance with a certain regularity of the alternation of these periods, the compatibility of trees was determined by the horoscope of the Druids. Below we will present a general scheme of this peculiar system.
Celtic horoscope structure
To find out the compatibility of trees according to the horoscope of the Druids, you need to understand a little about its structure. The organizing basis of everything is the annual cycle of time. The Celts divided it into forty segments of time, each of which mated with a particular tree. In total, twenty-two trees are taken into account, which form the horoscope of the Druids in the trees. Their compatibility is determined by their location in the circle of the year.
The essence of the system is that in the whole year, according to the Celts, there are four large periods in which the relations of darkness and light change. The extreme points of these cycles are the days of the equinox (March 21 and September 23) and the days of the solstice (June 24 and December 21). Spring-autumn and winter-summer are a kind of reflection, opposites of each other. Therefore, each tree corresponds to two small periods at once - one from each of the two opposite sides of the annual circle. Thus involved eighteen trees, occupying thirty-six Celtic months. Such is the horoscope of the Druids on the twin trees. Four more trees are assimilated to the days of the equinox and solstice.
Calendar and tree horoscope
The Celtic horoscope, as already noted above, is segmented into forty parts tied to the solar calendar. The subtleties of the ancient Celtic chronology are now unknown, and therefore the compatibility of trees according to the horoscope of the Druids with the modern months of the Gregorian calendar is proposed . Of course, the axes of the solstices and equinoxes are taken into account.
The influence of geography on the horoscope
It is worth mentioning that if you practically use the horoscope of druids in trees, the characteristics of a person should be compiled in accordance with those plants that are common in the halo of Celtic habitat. Therefore, it is not suitable for the inhabitants of modern Russia, despite its attractiveness and romance. In addition, the mentality of the Celts and Slavs is somewhat different, which means that the horoscope of the Druids is simply not intended for the Slavs. It is worth considering this circumstance if you decide to put this system into practice.
Druid Horoscope Tree Compatibility
Those who are interested in the relationship between trees from the Celtic correspondence system will need to learn the scheme below.
First, ideal compatibility is assumed in people whose fates are subordinate to the same tree, but located in opposite periods. In other words, it’s best for a person with a summer cypress sign to build a relationship with a partner who wears a winter cypress sign.
Secondly, using the horoscope of Druids on trees, compatibility can be established in the following way: three periods are counted from the necessary sign and every third of them is considered potentially compatible. For example, for the same cypress it will be an apple tree and a pine. According to this principle, the whole year is calculated for compatibility. However, there are two exceptions, namely: every ninth position and trees falling on the axial one-day points - these signs are skipped.
Thirdly, those trees that do not have pairs and are located on the axes, that is, on the days of the solstices and equinoxes, are distinguished by special privileges. They are given prospects and all chances to build ideal relationships with any sign of a tree horoscope. However, they have exactly such chances of confrontation and hostility. So in this sense, they are given great freedom, but they also have a large measure of responsibility.
