Acorn

In Norse and Celtic cultures, the smallest of the acorn was thought to embody the wholeness of life, fertility and immortality. Ancient Druids, who worshipped the Oak tree, believed that eating the acorn would gift them with the heavenly ability to see across time and into the future. Tradition holds that the bearer of an acorn wields an independent nature and possesses promises of fortune and prosperity in their destiny.
