Course overview
Course description
Trees and plants are living presences that have shaped Britain’s physical and imaginative realms for thousands of years. Leaf, Lore & Legend II takes a closer look at a suite of trees which have inspired both awe and storytelling.
We explore how meaning and landscape intertwine through the Ogham alphabet, considering the spiritual and symbolic roles of these trees, shrubs and plants.
Whilst the core lens is Celtic, other folklore and traditions are considered allowing us to examine their traditional practical uses in daily life and how those roles provided the origins of myth and symbolism.
Whether through spirituality, folklore, or a love of nature, this course offers a thoughtful exploration of the enduring bond between people and the British Isles’ diverse botanical heritage.
