'Rowan' is said to be derived from the Norse word 'rún' meaning a charm, mystery, or secret. This #tree was believed to be a charm against witchcraft & the evil eye. Its alternative name, 'Quicken-Tree' or 'Wicken-Tree', comes from 'wicce', an old name for a witch. #Folklore #nature

There is a saying:
“Many haws, many sloes
Many cold toes.”

This comes from an old belief that an abundant crop of haws (fruit of the hawthorn) & sloes (fruit of the blackthorn) portends a cold winter. Have you seen many haws & sloes in the hedgerows near you?

The Blackthorn is known as the Dark Mother of the Woods & is ruled by the sign of Scorpio. Its sloe berries can be used to make gin as well as magical ink. Often linked w/dark magic, it was believed the devil pricked his initiate’s fingers w/the thorn.

It should be noted that after the calendar reform of 1752 the calendar moved forward 11 days & so in some versions of the legend the date that Lucifer was cast out is set as “Old Michaelmas Day”, which falls on 10th October (giving you more time to harvest your blackberries!). #folklore

The painting in the collage is 'The Fallen Angel' (1847) by the French artist Alexandre Cabanel
If you look closely you can see the thorny stem of a bramble plant beneath Lucifer's legs.

A legend tells that when Lucifer was cast out of heaven on #MichaelmasDay , 29th September, he tumbled down to earth & landed upon a thorny bramble bush. In a fit of rage, he cursed the plant, & ever since it has been unlucky to pick its fruit beyond that date.

In Ireland, the hazel is the “Tree of Knowledge”. Nine trees that manifested nuts, leaves, & flowers together grew over Connla’s Well, dropping their nuts into it. Salmon ate them & absorbed their wisdom that in turn passed to those that ate the fish. #folklore #nature

The wild rose, Rosa canina, is said to be sacred to Mother Earth because its #flowers have five petals & five is a spiritually magical number. Its blooms transform into bright-orange hips in autumn that can be used in charms for love, good health & prosperity.

The astonishing foliage of Euonymus alatus, on the grounds of Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire, definitely living up to its popular name the “burning bush”!
There is a legend that tells how it came by its color.
