The Oak King and Holly King are symbolic figures representing the cyclical nature of the seasons within Celtic Pagan traditions. The Oak King embodies the waxing year, summer, and the life force of nature, often associated with fertility, growth, and the sun's strength. Symbolized by the mighty oak tree, he reigns supreme during the summer months. In contrast, the Holly King represents the waning year, winter, and the death aspect of nature, associated with darkness, death, and the cold. The Holly King is often depicted with horns or antlers, symbolizing his connection to the wild and untamed aspects of nature, he gains power during the winter months. These two kings are locked in an eternal dance, mirroring the cycle of the seasons. A constant interplay between life and death, growth and decay. In some interpretations, they are seen as aspects of a single, overarching Divine King, embodying the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The Oak King and Holly King are sometimes celebrated during seasonal rituals, representing the changing of the seasons and the eternal cycle of life.
