Danaan Tree of Life

The Original Anotas


When the visitor from Righ nan Dul leaned against this willow tree, he left behind a complex knot pattern emblazoned upon the trunk. This symbol, known as the Aontas has become the symbol of Banba, and the parting words of the visitor became words to live by.
