The
Oak -Quercus
spp There
are several hundred species of Oak. In the UK the Sessile
Oak,Quercus
robur is the most common. Throughout
the major cultures of Europe the Oak tree has been a very special
tree. It has been worshipped and respected by many religions and
faiths. Many civilisations associated the Oak as representing their
God(s). The Greeks - Zues, the Romans - Jupiter, the Celts – Robor.
Each of these gods also had dominion over rain, thunder and
lightning, and it is surely no coincidence that oak trees appear to
be more prone to lightning strikes than other trees. |
