Description
In Celtic mythology, the salmon was believed to be a magical creature associated with great knowledge and wisdom. As the legend goes, he swam in a pond shaded by nine hazel trees. The nuts from these sacred trees were thought to contain wisdom, knowledge and poetic inspiration. As the hazelnuts fell from the trees into the stream the salmon swallowed them, thus becoming a repository of esoteric wisdom and information. The bright spots on the salmon’s skin were said to indicate how many nuts he had eaten.
