The traditional British hunting of the Wren on St. Stephen's Day (Dec 26th) is something I'm learning about... But I thought of @wrenb77 when I got this email from Jen Delyth.

Tangnefedd - Peace by Welsh artist Jen Delyth ‘Images of doves were offered to the Celtic healer-deities of thermal springs, multiple stone figures of doves were offered to the curative spirits presiding over shrines. Like ravens, doves were perceived as oracular birds, perhaps on account of their distinctive call.’ ‘Peace on earth is here written in some of the living languages of the Celtic Nations.’ Tangnefedd ar y ddaear (Welsh) • Shee er y talloo (Manx) Re bo cres yn nor (Cornish) •  Air talamh sìth (Scottish) Peoc’h war ar bed (Breton) • Síocháin ar talamh (Irish)

Jen Delyth ~ TRISKELION, The Triple Goddess, 1993

"Celtic Goddesses frequently appear in triple form, and from ancient times, the Great Earth Mother was a Trinity, representing her three aspects, Maiden, Mother and Crone - the Triple Goddess. There are many examples of Triskele patterns on Pictish stones and in the Celtic manuscripts. Spirals are among the most sacred signs of Neolithic Europe, symbolizing the womb, death, and rebirth. They appear on Megalithic monuments, entrances to caves - sacred places of worship, all over the continent and British Isles, such as Newgrange in Ireland, and the Gavrinis in Brittany. The spiral was a particular symbol of the Goddess faith, also symbolizing the coiled serpent or dragon, regarded as sacred in the old religion, representing the natural energies of earth and sky."

Threefold wisdom of the tree:

Leaf wisdom - of change, ever releasing;

Branch wisdom - of growth, ever reaching;

Root wisdom - of endurance, ever deepening.
