In most nations and in all climes there are those who've relied upon the ability of herbs, trees, plants, and blossoms. Many historical races had their own sacred plant or tree.

For example, the pine tree was the sacred tree of the early Celts and the druids placed great store in the ability of mistletoe which grows upon the walnut. Even to this very day, the people of wales phone it prewar, "the tree".

From the same way that the early Greeks and Romans venerated the pine tree along with the ash. This was the belief of those ancients that man sprang out of a tree. The Teutonic tribes of northern Europe had a similar belief.

The beliefs of those ancients had their source in much the exact same manner as those individuals in Africa and in the orient. Oftentimes they arrived as legends or stories brought home by a Greek or a roman who'd traveled into a distant land. Frequently these stories were altered or altered to fulfill the terms of the new users. Oftentimes the very blossoms or plants or trees have been transplanted to their home for farming.

This is true of this rose whose first home is thought to have been Persia in which it was held a sacred blossom of love. Some early roman or Greek viewing this gorgeous blossom, also remarking upon its own odor and understanding of its alleged energy for a talisman of love, possibly brought it back into Greece and Rome in which it had been cultivated and grew in significance as a symbol of love.

The Greeks were the first of the ancient Europeans to create the arts, literature, philosophy, and even science into a rather large level. The pages of history are full of the names of Greeks that have been wise beyond their period. Socrates, Plato, Aristophanes, Aristotle are but some of those early sensible guys.

The Romans, on the other hand, were very much like the Greeks. Whereas the Greeks were great leaders and philosophers and musicians, the Romans were law givers. What faith, philosophy, and medication they'd was stolen.
