The Symbolic or Cultural Significance of European Beech

European beech holds profound symbolisms across cultures. In Celtic mythology, it represents wisdom, learning, and history due to its long lifespan. European beech wood's flammability made it a beacon of enlightenment and inspiration, hence its association with lightning gods in some European cultures. It's revered in Nordic folklore as the tree of the divine couple, Frigg and Odin. However, it doesn't hold particular significance in traditional feng shui practices.
