The Eternal Tree of Life

If there is one unifying cultural theme and motif across religions, it will have to be the Tree of Life. This symbol finds representation in many ancient religions, cultures and practices. From Hinduism to Shamanic religions and from Nordic folklore to Aboriginal art, the Tree of Life finds myriad artistic expressions in various scriptures, monuments and manuscripts that go back to references as old as 3000 BC. This tree symbolises abundance, prosperity and spiritual growth.
