The meaning of this symbol from ancient legends forms the basis of modern interpretations, but it is worth citing some of the most striking examples:

• The Celts had the symbol of the tree as a symbolic expression of peace, and also endowed them with a soul. The symbolism of the tree is very often present in the Celtic style tattoo, which is understandable to the common man;
• In Egypt, the structure of the growth of the tree as the embodiment of the unity of life and death was correlated in Egypt;
