The Tree of Life is a universal symbol found in many spiritual traditions around the world. The tree of knowledge, connecting to heaven & the underworld, & the tree of life, connecting all forms of creation, are both forms of the world tree or cosmic tree. It’s meaning represents life itself, wisdom, love, strength, protection, beauty, bounty & redemption. The tree is associated with the creator because it provides protection, supports abundant fruit production & thereby, regeneration.
