This stunning Tree of Life design is even more symbolic incorporating male and female forms entwined within the trunk with roots in the earth and branches embracing the heavens.
The Tree of Life is one of the oldest symbols for God considered nurturing, powerful, and beautiful. It reminds us of the power of Earth and the Heavens and the metaphysical axiom "As Above, So Below".
A Symbol with Multiple Meanings
The Tree of Life actually has several meanings. In one of them, it is the tree that stands at the center of paradise, which sits at the center of the world. Its fruits are magic. In the Christian tradition, they are fruits of knowledge, of good and evil, and of eternal life.
In another of its meanings, it is a metaphor of the connectedness of all living things. Each of its leaves stands for one kind of living thing. Together, they are all rooted in the earth. They live and die as one. It is the metaphor of oneness in diversity.
In yet another meaning, it is the center of the world, the AXIS MUNDI of medieval philosophy. That, in turn, is a metaphor for the center of each person's being.
There is no telling when the tree of life first appeared as a symbol it may be among the oldest symbols that people still use all over the world.
