The Oak is particularly sacred tree to the Druids and in the Celtic Ogham calendar; the Oak is the seventh month (June 10 to July 7) and central to the thirteen month calendar. The Celtic word for "Oak" is "Duir" from which we get the word "door" - the Celts made their doors of Oak in order to keep out evil.

The Summer Solstice falls within the month of Duir and the Oak tree came to symbolize the turning of the year. It represents change and understanding. It is the time when the sun starts his movement into darkness as the earth begins to move back into winter.

Oak individuals are determined, self-motivated, enthusiastic and responsible. They possess a high degree of personal magnetism and Oaks make natural leaders with a great deal of integrity who find it easy to attract and inspire others. They have a keen sense of humor and can make the best of a difficult situation.
