When a tribe cleared land for a settlement, they always left a great tree in the middle, known in Ireland as the "crann bethadh," or Tree of Life, that embodied the security and integrity of the people. Chieftains were inaugurated at the sacred tree, for, with its roots stretching down to the lower world, its branches reaching to the upper world, it connected him with the power both of the heavens and the worlds below. This Tree of Life hook and loop clasp is very easy to use. Large loops on the back make it simple to sew on your cloak. 3.5 inches / 90mm |
