This entry won't have much to do with books or reading, although there are quite a few books on the subject of Celtic Astrology, which IS what this entry is about. I found a fascinating entry on Vivian S's birthday celebration journal about Tree Signs, which mentioned Celtic Astrology. This is something I've never heard of before - imagine that. Half Irish, and never heard of it. Since this thing about Tree Signs had been sent her by a friend, Viv didn't know anything about it either.
So, I went web crawling and found quite a lot of information about the subject. I'm not sure how valid any of it is, but it's quite interesting. Here's one of the sites, and here's another. As you can see, the trees are different from what is in the entry that originally got me started. On Viv's journal I am a fir tree, on these I am a holly tree. The fir tree interpretation actually sounds more like me, but I went to a bunch of other sites where I was always holly. I might just look for one of the books on the subject and learn a little more. I'm no big believer in any kind of astrology, but I am fairly interested in all things Celtic.
Fir tree (the Mysterious) -- extraordinary taste, handles stress poorly, loves anything beautiful, can become depressed at times, stubborn, tendsto care for those closeto them aswell as helping strangers, rather modest, hard worker, talented, unselfish, few sexual relationships, many friends, doesn't want foes, very reliable.

I'm eager to read the sites you discovered. When I got the 'trees' email from my friend I had no idea of it's authenticity :) I found it interesting and thought it would be entertaining stuff for my birthday wishes journal.
I'm glad to know that Celtic astrology actually exists. I can't help but wonder if the information I got was copied/pasted out of order somewhere along the lines as it changed cyber hands :) Thanks for doing the research....now I'm off to see if my 'tree origin' changes too!
You have some awesome blogs. I'm pleased that you visited mine. Looking forward to reading YOU again.

hey ho! come back to Argument and tell me what short story you would love to see staged.
I did one of those quizzilla quizzes that resulted in my being dubbed a willow, I do believe.

On Viv's I was a fig tree. On the other two sites, I was an oak. I like that one.
I've been interested in Celtic heritage for a long time. I found this so interesting. I myself am not Irish, but do have some Irish ancestors way back down the line. Thank you for sharing.
