The Allegory of the Oak Tree- The Panagora Blog
The Oak tree is arguably the most loved tree in the world, with superb, striking reasons. It’s a symbol of strength, morale, resistance and knowledge. Throughout history, the Oak has been represented in different mythologies and sometimes linked to powerful gods — it was a symbol of Zeus, the God of Thunder in Greek mythology.
The Oak is considered a cosmic storehouse of wisdom embodied in its towering strength. It grows slowly, but surely at its rate. Oak is often associated with honor, nobility, and wisdom as well, thanks to its size and longevity. Oaks are known to easily surpass 300 years of age making it a powerful life-affirming symbol.

It’s a long-lived tree which can live more than 1000 years. It is a tree with multiple uses: the boiled bark has therapeutic properties.
