Tree of Creation

This is a tree based on the classic Tree of Life theme, but I wanted to give a broader meaning than what's usually seen.

So we have beginning at the bottom celtic Knotwork, symbolizing paths toward growth, a journey. This in turn evolves into the Vine, with mother natures deep symbolism seen in many ancient cultures, and that becomes Animal as we continue upwards. That becomes humankind, both Man and Woman, and they in turn become the sacred Peacock, thought to carry the spirit to heaven after death. The heavens here are filled with brilliant Spirals, symbolizing both nature as a whole and as well the spirit and the mind.

This all surrounds the Tree of Life, making to me a Tree of ALL Life - humankind, spirit, nature and animal all together.
