The Hidden Meaning Behind Glass Bottle Trees
Ever seen a tree embellished with colorful glass bottles and pondered about its purpose?
That noticeable display is known as a bottle tree, and it’s far more than just volatile yard decor. Behind its buzzing appearance deceives a rich history originated from African tradition and spiritual symbolism that has encountered through generations.
