EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the essence of Elder-Tree Mother, a figure deeply rooted in European folklore and history. The elder tree, with its distinctive white flowers and dark, twisted branches, has long been a symbol of protection, healing, and fertility. In this print, the elder tree mother is depicted as a wise and nurturing figure, her entire body covered in a cascade of elderflowers. The elder tree has a rich history, with mentions of its use dating back to ancient times. Elderflowers were used for medicinal purposes, and the tree was believed to ward off evil spirits. Elder-Tree Mother figures appeared in various tales and legends, often as protectors of children and guardians of the forest. In this image, the elder-tree mother cradles a teapot, filled with the fragrant infusion made from the tree's flowers. The teapot, a symbol of hospitality and warmth, underscores the nurturing and caring nature of the elder tree mother. The intricate details of the elderflowers, the tree's gnarled branches, and the mother's gentle expression all come together to create a scene that is at once magical and grounded in history. This print is a beautiful reminder of the deep connection between humans and nature, and the enduring power of folklore and storytelling to inspire and captivate us. Whether displayed in a home or office, this print is sure to evoke a sense of wonder and enchantment, and serve as a reminder of the beauty and richness of the natural world around us.
