The illumanted tree is also an ancient Pagan concept and the tree as the symbol of the human soul such as the World Tree. The trunk is the spinal column with the branches representing the 144,000 nadis of the soul. And the individual worlds representing the charka centers along the spine. The so-called "xmas" tree [World Tree] is an ancient Pagan symbol that was put up at Yule to symbolize the reborn sol with the candles or tree lights being the illumanted nadis and the star at the top the halo of the risen serpent. The perfected and reborn soul.
A deep meaning of Druid is "Knower of the Tree" and in the ancient Priesthoods one of the highest ranking levels one could obtain such as in the Eleusinian mystery was the title of Yew. As in the sacred Yew tree that along with the Oak was honored by the Pagans. The spiritual symbolism across the Pagan world on the tree, its connection to the soul, could fill it's own book.
