Four Seasons Tree of Life Wheel

The concept of a tree of life has been used in most every culture, as well as in science, religion, philosophy, and mythology. A tree of life is a common motif in various world theologies, mythologies, and philosophies. It alludes to the interconnection of all life on our planet and serves as a metaphor for common descent in the evolutionary sense.

With its branches reaching into the sky, and roots deep in the earth, it dwells in three worlds -- a link between heaven, the earth, and the underworld, uniting above and below.

The tree of knowledge, connecting to heaven and the underworld, and the tree of life, connecting all forms of creation, are both forms of the world tree or cosmic tree and are portrayed in various religions and philosophies as the same tree.

The tree of life is seen as both a feminine and masculine symbol.

This particular tree of life forms a wheel revolving through all of the seasons, a lovely visual life metaphor. Imagine it hanging on your wall! :)
