Another day, another book review. This one's about Philip Matyszak's Ancient Magic in Greece and Rome : A Hands-On Guide. Covers how to summon the dead, curse people, how to tell the future, and the nature of magic. A wonderful book, small but dense and detailed but also full of unexpectedly hilarious commentary. Don't worry, the next book I'll review is absolutely shite, lest all these gushing reviews were becoming depressing.

The #folklore and folk #magic associated with the #Whitethorn.

Part of a series of videos on the sacred trees of Britain and Ireland, their associations in the #Ogham ' #Celtic' #Tree #Alphabet and their symbolism, folklore, #mythology and practical and magical applications in #history and today.

The #May-Tree, or #Hawthorne or Whitethorn is sometimes thought of as the sister tree to the Blackthorn.

It is an ambivalent tree with both positive and negative associations in the Old Ways. A lot of this is to do with the #fairy folk, the good people or the Sídhe.

In the Ogham, it represents the letter #H ( #Huath) and denotes fear and horror.

Other associations include #healing, #fertility, sexuality, #protection, boundaries and #death.
