Ancient Celts kept their sacred places in dark groves where the spirits of nature dwelt, and trees were believed to be the abode of the spirits or divinities that in many cases had a power over vegetation.They honored the trees and groves with a conscious homage to the spirits that inhabit them, and their hidden meanings as featured in the Ogham alphabet.
