Another shot with this place forest Kouri with oak tree in the lake..
---In Celtic - mythology - it is the tree of doors, believed to be a gateway between worlds, or a place where portals could be erected.
In Norse mythology, the oak was sacred to the thunder god, Thor. Some scholars speculate that this is because the oak, as the largest tree in northern Europe, was the one most often struck by lightning. Thor's Oak was a sacred tree of the Germanic Chatti tribe. Its destruction marked the Christianisation of the heathen tribes by the Franks[citation needed].
--In Classical mythology-- the oak was a symbol of Zeus and his sacred tree. An example is the oracle of Dodona, which in prehistory consisted solely of a holy oak.
The Oak tree is traditionally sacred to Serbs and is widely used throughout Serbia on national and regional symbols both old and new. |
