N Nuin-Ash Inner and outer worlds linked, macrocosm and microcosm
(the little world and the great world).
The Ash of the Ogham alphabet is the Cosmic Ash, or World Tree.
In Celtic cosmology in particular the Ash connects the three circles of existence - Abred, Gwynedd and Ceugant -which can variously be interpreted as past, present and future,
or as confusion, balance and creative force;
there being no hell, but only continual rebirth as passage is made from circle to circle until the
Land of the Blessed is finally reached.
Since the Ash itself carries 'keys'(winged Fruits), choosing this card is a key to a more universal comprehension of how all things are linked, everything being connected; earthly and spiritual; yourself and the cosmos' lowest and highest. Your deeds form part of a far greater,
even endless, chain of events, and your own inner pathways have thier reaction in the outer world.
Looking at your life in this wider context and being aware of yourself linked to, and being part of, a larger pattern or system, will bring enhanced understanding to your particular problems or specific questions.
A reveresed card indicates insularity. Your oneness is undeniable, but there is no need to cut yourself off from the great universe or be scared of its vastness and your smallness. You are part of the greater whole and cannot avoid being linked to it and through it. Open yourself to its great and small influendes and allow your influences to flow out into it as well.
