The Ash tree is one of the most important of the solar trees; the wood is firm and elastic. The World-Ash represents the microcosm in legend. Yggdrasil is itself an Ash. Aswata, the World-Fig, should also be attributed here as the Tree itself in the microcosm.
Gorse, the sacred flower of the A. A. was chosen as their heraldic emblem to be a symbol of the Great Work. Its appearance is that of the Sun in full blaze, and suggests the burning bush of Moses. Its branches are exceedingly firm, as should be the Will of the Adept, and they are covered with sharp spikes, which symbolize, on the one hand, the phallic energy of the Will and, on the other, the pains which are gladly endured by one who puts forth his hand to pluck this bloom of sunlight splendour. Note that the Great Work is here concentrated in Tipareth, the attainment of the Grade corresponding to which is in fact the critical stage on the path of the Wise.
The Oak is also, and more properly attributed to Tipareth because of it was the sacred tree of the Druids, the representative in the vegetable kingdom of the Sun. Its strength is also taken as harmonious quality in man. Furthermore the Acorn is peculiarly phallic, and this is properly to be attributed to Tipareth because in this case the phallic symbol contains in itself the essence of the being to be reproduced.
