It represents the idea of the harmony and unity of the world and the idea of the Universe that is shared by many nations. The upper part of the tree is associated with heaven, the middle part with the earth, and the lower part with the underworld. The World Tree is associated with morning, day and night, the past, present and future, the three elements of nature - earth, water, and fire. The triple image relates to the existence of all living creatures on Earth. It is associated with the life of ancestors, present generation, and descendants. The World Tree is tied to the idea of eternal life and immortality. It is always beyond the reach of evil and dark forces. The World Tree is the source of beauty, goodness, and magic. It is meant to preserve the mystery of existence. This symbol has absorbed universal juices from the depths of the earth, the heights of heaven, the invisible sources of the peoples' spirit. Everyone who discovers it receives inexhaustible strength and becomes stronger spiritually. The snake at the roots of the tree carries the meaning of the wisdom of the centuries, all the wisdom of the ancestors. The image of a man and a woman, united in one heart in the centre of the trunk is a symbol of unity of the opposites. It represents the masculine and the feminine in every one of us. The infinity of life and vitality. Life in the present moment, between past and future, here and now. It is a symbol of love and goodness. In the crown of the tree, which represents the future, you can see many different symbols related to life force, creative energy, love, goodness, and light, which serve to protect people and their families.
