Description
Near my home is Ljubljana marsh which is overgrown with the birches. The people of northern Europe have long been very fond of this beautiful, slender tree with its white shining stem and graciously flowing branches. In their minds, it evoked the image of a beautiful young woman. Birch was regarded as the sacred world-tree, which served as the bridge between this world and the realm of spirits and Gods. As one of the first trees to put on her spring-dress it is only natural that the Birch has always been associated with the life giving force and has thus featured prominently in all manner of fertility rites and magic. Birch signals the arrival of spring and traditionally farmers have observed her progress as an indicator to sowing their wheat.
