The world tree as the Norse saw it bound together the nine worlds.
It was the life force, a provider of ultimate wisdom, and held great
power in various belief systems of first peoples. So why the ash today?
To remind those gardeners who've just started that everything that grows
is bot just another bush. Each has its meaning, its function and its place
in our history. They once much more to us than simple decorations or
fuel sources. They were the roots of our existence, the connection between
our world and that of the next and those in the past. So are they today
only in a less spiritual way. Which raises the question of whether or not
our ancestors were right and didn't know it, or whether we've simple
rediscovered what they'd known for generations.
