A unique and exciting new Astrology System based on a blend of Celtic Tree knowledge, ancient wisdom and modern astrology Celtic Tree and Animal Spirit Astrology is a completely new and carefully devised system of astrology linking many aspects of Celtic myth and symbolism into the modern-day zodiac. The Celts saw trees as a link with the supernatural world. Trees provided a connection to the world of spirits and ancestors through doorways into other worlds. Celtic tree astrology is the astrology system believed to be practised by the ancient Irish, based on natural symbolism: the tree. There are a number of versions of Tree Astrology, many centred on the cycles of the moon with the year divided into the 13 lunar months established by the Druid religion. The system used in this book draws specifically on the trees of the Ogham (the Celtic Alphabet and core behind the concept of Celtic Tree Astrology) known to be native in Ireland in Celtic times. Symbols and deities drawn from Celtic myths, festivals and documents have been linked with symbols, associations and attributes of the modern-day zodiac to offer insight into psychology, spirituality and life path depending on the reader's Celtic Tree. As well as delving deeper into the meaning of each tree, this book weaves modern astrology practices, Celtic myths and festivals and known associations of animals through Celtic and other cultures into the Celtic Tree System. This combination of the author's knowledge of astrology, psychology and symbolism will take you on one of the most wondrous of all journeys: the journey of self-discovery.

Our understanding of Celtic astrology is based mainly on the speculations of modern authors--mostly drawn from classical Greek and Roman writings--and suffers from many misconceptions. European astrology uses the Greek model, containing many Babylonian and Egyptian elements. But Celtic astrology (and other Indo-European astrologies) developed earlier, with relationships to Middle Eastern systems, as well as their own independent forms. This well documented study takes a fresh look at the development of Celtic astrology and the Druids' systems of cosmology, astronomy and astrology. The author analyzes commentaries found in manuscript sources from antiquity to the Middle Ages, comparing them with cosmological and astronomical lore found in Celtic cultures. Ancient constellations, calendars, deities and rituals reveal a rich worldview.
