Herbs and their properties and energies have been known since ancient times. The classical world discovered many properties of herbs: Pliny the Elder, Galen, and Hippocrates are just some of the countless doctors and naturalists who dedicated their lives to the study of herbs and plant compounds for therapeutic purposes.
The Celts considered many plants sacred, from which they derived substances used as healing remedies and even in magical and religious rituals. Their villages were built around a large tree, often an oak, a symbol of life and prosperity.
The druids, belonging to the priestly class, were the dignitaries of these rites and therefore boasted a deep knowledge of medicinal plants and herbs. Similarly, the Vikings based their mythology on a large tree – Yggdrasill – through which the nine worlds of their cosmos were connected. But what about beauty?
