"World Trees" by Hazel Minot From the days of myth and legend to the busy whirl of modern life, the tree has been venerated. The oak and pine, palm, laurel, and silvery olive have had their devotees. The oaks surrounding Dodona in ancient Greece voiced through their whispering leaves the will of Zeus, and groves of this mighty tree were held sacred by the Druids of Britain and Gaul. The palm was a symbol of victory, likewise the laurel or daphne, the prize for those who were successful in the Pythian games in honor of Apollo. The olive, too, though linked with the dove as an emblem of peace, spoke of victory, a wreath of olive being the prize contended for in the Olympic Games; it was also the highest tribute that could be proffered to a citizen meriting well of his country. In Egypt the tamarisk was held sacred as possessing hidden virtues and was often planted around temples. It is also in the land of pyramids that we discover the Goddess Nut pictured as the Lady of the Sycamore who offers to her worshipers the fruit or the water from the Tree of Life.
