    Tips

    March 3, 2022

    Within the primordial symbolism of the oak as the sun king of nature, the Pyrenean oaks and gall oaks represent the domestic and humble state of the species, they stay close to human beings with withered leaves on the branches during the winter, letting themselves be pastured next to holm oaks and cork oaks; Far from the wild kingdom of Grandma Hay. The druids, strength drud and wisdom vine, considered the union of the oak and the mistletoe the living symbol of the sun, the sacred communion of the divinity with earthly beings.
