Eclectic
The Luis (Mountain Ash) with its crisp spring flowers and 5 pointed star at its base is/was of considerable symbolic value to the Celts. Sacred objects were formed from its wood and used in various rituals. The tree represents a connection to the hereafter and is linked to protection and connection.
The Ogham letter L was linked to this tree. Luis is the Ogham word for Rowan.
Heather (Ur) was associated with romance, dreams and feelings for the Celts. Perhaps, it’s use in making mead (a pretty strong alcoholic drink) helped in making this association. Brides in the highlands still wear heather blooms. The plant was also used to make brooms and intestinal medicine. Thus, it had an association with cleaning as well.
The Ogham symbol for Heather (Ur) translates as a “U” in English.
