The branches of the world tree support, depending on the story, the vast arches of the firmament with its worlds, just as its roots protrude deep into the underworlds. Both the sky and the middle and underworld are connected to one another via the tree of life as a Celtic tree of life.

The idea that all life on earth is interconnected also serves as a central principle of the Tree of Life. The branches as well as the roots of each tree are connected so they combine their life force and thus offer a home to thousands of different species of flora and fauna, creating further connections. So the idea arose to see the tree as the central point of every life.
