The ancient Celts, who founded a settlement at Aberlour, boasted many artistic and practical skills, many of which survive to this day. They also put great store in wisdom, a valuable and scarce commodity in any age.
The greatest source of wisdom for the ancient Celts was the natural world around them. It provided everything they needed and everything they needed to know. The spirit world in which they believed was closely linked to nature, and nature provided them with food, fuel, medicine, clothing and building materials.
The Celts respected and revered every aspect of the natural world, attributing to animals, trees and plants characteristics and properties that influenced Celtic life both on a spiritual and physical level.
Here are three thoughtful stories that make the point. Read them, and get wise.
