“Inception (Fir)”
INCEPTION uses foliage drawn from the Silver Fir, and a schematic representation of the cone. The silver fir was positioned in the Celtic calendar immediately after the winter solstice. It is an occasion for celebration as the Earth regains the benefits of the Sun. Silver fir is the tree most closely associated with birthing. Across Northern Europe it has become part of the Nativity celebration.
