Hawthorne Berry Organic/Kosher/Fair Trade

🌿Hawthorne Berry, Leaves & Flowers🌿 Gods associated with this tree are Belenus, Cardea, the White Goddess, Hymen, Maia, and Flora. It is considered masculine, associated with Mars and fire. Hawthorne is a sacred tree in many Pagan religions. The blossoms, called May Flowers, are used in spring celebrations. The May Pole is traditionally made of hawthorn or decorated with Hawthorne flowers. As the tree is sacred to fairies, one must ask permission before taking the blooms or sprigs and must certainly leave an offering when cutting down a whole tree. Placed around doors and windows, hawthorn will prevent people from entering your home in an astral state. It will also prevent spirits from entering a place. Planting Hawthorne around other trees, or near your home is said to protect them from lightning strikes. Planting it as a hedge around your home will keep out unfriendly spirits. Adding hawthorne to an amulet will protect you from spirits and harmful magic. Thorns can be used to mark wax, to write with magical ink, or to fix something for magical purposes. The phrase “by Oak, Ash and Thorn” referred to Hawthorne (the Thorn part) used in blessing and ritual. These three trees were considered portals to the realm of the fae. Hawthorne is associated with love, marriage, health, fertility, chastity, protection and death.
