One of the most important symbols of Celtic mythology is the tree of life.

He proposes the connection between the three worlds of water, air and earth. The tree is the symbol of balance and harmony between those three worlds. The roots and branches actually form a map of the universe in which everything is interconnected and interwoven.

The tree symbolism of the Tree of Life pendant is rooted in religious tradition and in popular culture.

Worldwide, trees have thus acquired a special, sacred or ritual significance.
Trees symbolize the life from birth to death through their steady growth, from beginning to end, from earth to heaven.
With their shape, the above-ground branches and the underground roots, they cover the entire universe in Norse mythology. The ash Yggdrasil is connected to the world of the gods, the world of people and the underworld. Such a tree is called a tree of life.

The tree is in the first instance a perfect symbol for life itself. With his roots in the earth he has contact with the underworld. With his branches he reaches to heaven. He is a mediator between gods and people.

Furthermore, the tree of life symbolizes eternal life: springing up in spring, lush growth in summer, fruits and decay in autumn and peace in winter.

In the Christian tradition the tree of life symbolizes immortality, the fruits of a tree of life give life.

In Hinduism, God is the source of life, the root of the tree, while tribe and branches symbolize the oldest communities that are close to the spiritual. The leaves are a symbol of humanity.

The Celtic tree of life earrings fit well with one of the other Tree of Life pendants.
