In ancient times, the territory of modern Great Britain, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria and France was inhabited by the mysterious tribes of the Celts. Like any other people, they had their own traditions, legends, myths, customs, secrets, religion. Unfortunately, today very little is known about the Celts - their tribes did not leave written evidence of their life and worldview - the whole history of their people was transmitted orally, from father to son.
Of course, today we know some facts about them, but this information was obtained from the neighbors or enemies of the Celts - the Romans.
It is known for certain that in the Celtic communities the most important people have always been priests, called druids. Whatever issues were resolved, they always had the last word.
But the druids were not only priests who served the Celtic gods: they were the wisest people of the tribe, they were engaged in divination and predictions, they knew how to lead people. Druids were credited with supernatural powers.
It is also known that they consideredsacred oak groves. There is a version that the very word "druid" comes from the Celtic "oak". Therefore, it is not surprising that the Celts had a real cult of the tree, and the person who harmed him was subjected to terrible punishment. Even peeling the bark was considered a crime, for which the navel was cut out and nailed to the injured tree, after which the criminal was twisted around the trunk, as a result of which the insides of the unfortunate were wrapped around the tree.
As can be easily understood from the above, the druids were distinguished by an extraordinary closeness to nature, on which such a popular druid horoscope is based.
There are two types of this horoscope - they are very similar and are built on the same principle. Surprisingly, this horoscope is quite accurate.
Let's talk about the more famous one. The position of the Sun relative to the Earth is what is its basis. This is a tree horoscope of the Druids, in which the trees not only determine the character, characteristics and fate of each person, but also are his patrons.
According to this horoscope, there are 2 phases in a year, each of which has 18 periods - one sign for each. These periods last for several days, and they are paired - that is, in each phase there is an identical period. But there are 4 more periods (and signs) - one day for each. They fall on the days of the summer and winter solstice, autumn and spring equinoxes. Thus, the druid horoscope has 22 tree signs.
To eachthe sign corresponds to certain days of the year that do not change under any circumstances. Therefore, in order to use the horoscope of the druids and find out your patron tree, it is enough to know the date of your own birth.
However, the tree horoscope is far from being the only one in existence. Somewhat less popular, but just as interesting and original is the flower horoscope of the Druids. It is based on the same principles as the tree one, but has more characters. Which flower determines the character of a person - a rose, a thistle, a lily, an immortelle or a magnolia - is very easy to recognize: all by the same date of birth. This druid horoscope has 36 signs - a decade for each.
