Alder Celtic Tree

Dates, personality, sacred animal and gemstone

Celtic tree astrology divides the year into thirteen lunar months, each ruled by a tree drawn from the Ogham alphabet. Your tree is set by your birth date, and it reads character through the tree's own qualities — what it endures, where it grows, and what it gives.
