Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Celtic Zodiac...The Elder Tree...Nov. 25-Dec. 23


The Celtic Zodiac is based on the cycle of the moon with the year divided into 13 lunar months. Each month is associated with a tree sacred to the Druids. The Druids believed the human race originally desended from the trees, and each tree had particular magical qualities. Branches were hung above stables to protect horses from evil spirits.

If you were born between November 25 and December 23 your Celtic Zodiac sign would be the Elder tree. You are often misjudged as an outsider and because of this you have a tendency to withdraw, although you can also be known to be the wildest of all the Celtic Zodiac signs.

The Druids and Ancient Celts recognized the elder had natural banishing abilities. The essence of its leaves, and the odor of its pretty white flowers were proven to ward off pesky insects. It is also associated with the realm of fairies. Celtic lore indicates that if you stand near an elder tree at Midsummer's Eve the land of the fairies will be revealed to your searching eyes.
