Celtic sacred trees : ウィキペディア英語版 | Celtic sacred trees
Almost all kinds of tree found in the Celtic countries have been thought to have special powers or to serve as the abode of the fairies, especially the magical trio of oak, ash, and thorn. Next in rank are the fruit-bearing trees apple and hazel, followed by the alder, elder, holly, and willow. The esteem given different trees varies in different parts of the Celtic world; on the Isle of Man, the phrase ‘fairy tree’ denotes the tramman elder.〔McKillop, James (1998). ‘Fairy tree.’ ''A Dictionary of Celtic Mythology''. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1998. Oxford Reference Online. Oxford University Press〕 The medieval Welsh poem ''Cad Goddeu (The Battle of the Trees)'' has been interpreted as a remnant of Druidic lore, possibly relating to the Celtic tree alphabet ogham found across northwestern Europe. ==List of trees==
