Tree Of Life – Natural Dye

Every tree, every growing thing as it grows, says this truth: You harvest what you sow. With life a short as a half-taken breath, don’t plant anything but love. The tree of life is symbolic in all cultures of creation, growth, protection and nourishment. The original colors were maroon and black with the surface of the material being the third color. These colors were natural dyes obtained from alizarin and oxidized metal. Maroon symbolizes Mother Earth or Gaea and its healing properties while black repels negative forces and amplifies spiritual energy.
