This is the Celtic zodiac card for the Salmon, covering August 5 - September 1. Archetype: The Sage and Wisdom-Seeker The salmon is the most sacred animal in Celtic lore, representing knowledge, inspiration (imbas), and connection to the Well of Wisdom. Deeply intuitive and introspective. The Salmon holds one of the most revered positions in Celtic mythology, particularly through the legend of the Salmon of Knowledge. In Irish folklore, this sacred fish possessed all the wisdom of the world, and whoever ate it would gain profound knowledge and insight. The timing (early August through early September) represents the transition from summer's peak energy into the more contemplative late summer period.
