As we noted earlier, to the Celts the symbol associated with Holly was more than a mere letter, the symbol carried with it the properties of Holly associated with it. In this way, Celts communicated on two levels&#8230;the level of the message and a meta level having to do with properties of the tree associated with the symbol. It is thought that Druids for instance used the first letter of a message to convey the meta message so a message beginning with T might have to do with protection at the meta level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5679.temp.domains\/~joeayres\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5zlOxxD1ihZPEMPwJOEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEMQ58j9HzydeW5YquAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg.png?resize=225%2C225\" alt=\"Description: Macintosh HD:Users:wanderingangus:Desktop:imgres.png\" class=\"wp-image-624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/joeayrescares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5zlOxxD1ihZPEMPwJOEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEMQ58j9HzydeW5YquAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg.png?w=225&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/joeayrescares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5zlOxxD1ihZPEMPwJOEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEMQ58j9HzydeW5YquAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/joeayrescares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5zlOxxD1ihZPEMPwJOEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEARBEMQ58j9HzydeW5YquAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg.png?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holly (Tinne) with its bright red berries was thought to rule winter as the Oak ruled summer.
