Celtic Rowan Astrology Sign: January 21 – February 17
Ogham Letter: Luis
About the Celtic Rowan Tree: The Celts had great respect for the rowan tree. They thought its berries possessed magical powers and were prized by their Celtic Gods…much like the Greek Gods prized Ambrosia. The Celtic Gods even had a green dragon stand guard over the berries.
Rowan branches were placed over doorways to bring good luck into a house. They were even placed in graveyards to watch over the dead and to make sure none of the occupants decided to become a vengeful ghost or cause other mischief.
The wood from rowan trees was used to make everything from bows to fences. It was also effective for treating sore throats and scurvy.
The Druids believed the rowan tree contained a spirit that had secret knowledge of immortality and personal freedom.
Celtic Animal Symbol: Green Dragon
