The Hawthorn (Whitehorn or May Tree)Tree: This is the most sacred tree to the faeries probably because it is so wild, uncompromising and fragrant. If you sit under the thorn tree on may day eve, samhain eve and midsummer eve you can commune with the fairies. Make a ball of last years foliage tied with a white ribbon and burn it in a bonfire on new years day to rid yourself of troubles. Start fresh in the new year then by making yourself a ball of fresh thorn branches and leaves and keep it to be used in the next years bonfire. It is said that when Joseph of Arimathea came to Glastonbury (one of my fav place on earth!, I used to wish to be married in Glastonbury at one time and they have the best pre-Raphaelite shop and the best candle shop in town) he brought a white hawthorn with him and planted it in Wearyall Hill.
