Human life is inextricably linked with nature. The symbol that unites a person and his environment is a tree. This image is present in different cultures and beliefs and has many meanings.

The symbol of the tree in Slavic folklore is immortality. Life, in the understanding of the ancient Slavs, is inextricably linked with the continuation of the family and the memory of the ancestors. So the roots that go into the earth are the connection of generations and the appeal to the native land. High and powerful trunk-a symbol of fullness of life. Branched crown – children and grandchildren. Therefore, the tree was often associated with the family. In Celtic mythology, a tree with roots and branches is the link between heaven and earth.

The image of the tree in the Bible is the axis of the universe. It was in the Garden of Eden that Adam and Eve were happy. The tree unites the earthly and the heavenly, Hell and Heaven. This symbol reflects a person's idea of fertility and prosperity, of a closed circle of life. The multi-valued concept of the "World Tree" represents infinity, an appeal to the gods and the other world for help and protection. The Tree of Life symbol is a strong sign that brings energy and protection to its owner.
