The Aspen tree is one of the 20 sacred trees of the old Irish alphabet the Ogham. The Aspen is the Celtic tree associated with the autumn equinox. The tree is the nineteenth letter ( letter E) of the Ogham alphabet ‘Eadha’.
The word ‘aspen’ comes from the Greek Aspen, meaning shield. So it comes as no surprise that the wood from this tree was used to make shields. The sound E is the sound people make when they are grieving and one of the uses of Aspen timber was to measure bodies and graves.
Aspen can be called upon in times of fear and war
and all gods angels stand by and come to those that can
