The choice of glass bottles is not arrogant.
Folklore holds that evil spirits are attracted to the bright, contemplative surfaces of the bottles. As the spirits enter the bottles, they become trapped inside.
The sunlight fastens them in, while the wind blowing through the necks creates haunting whistles—thought to be the cries of the captured spirits. This practice attended both as spiritual protection and as a reminder of unseen forces.
Bottle trees were often placed near homes, gardens, or graveyards to fend off negative energy.
Each bottle—often recovered from household items—carries its own story, and their placement was a ritual act of intention and belief. The tradition throws back a deep link to the spiritual world and the power of visual symbolism.
Today, bottle trees have spread beyond their cultural roots, accepted for both their beauty and mysterious charm. Yet for many, they remain a powerful proof to resilience, faith, and the ongoing influence of ancestral traditions.
