Advent Day 4
Todays item is: Green Aventurine Tree
This green Aventurine crystal tree carving symbolises growth, luck, and fresh beginnings, bringing a touch of natural harmony to any space.
In witchcraft, trees represent wisdom, grounding, and the connection between worlds, the roots reaching into the earth, the branches touching the sky, and the trunk holding powerful life energy.
The modern Christmas tree originated in 16th-century Germany, where Christians started bringing decorated evergreen trees into their homes.
Pre-Christian cultures, however, used evergreens to symbolize life during winter solstice celebrations, a tradition that influenced the modern Christmas tree.
The practice spread globally through figures like Queen Victoria, who popularized it in Britain after marrying her German cousin Prince Albert.
