The Rowan berries are ready for harvesting. The berries range from reds
to oranges where I live, and they all have that perfect pentagram on the
bottom. The birds love them, and once dried, cooked or fermented they
are edible for people, too. Brew wine with the berries or split a dried
berry and steep in hot water for a tea that helps increase second sight.
Here I'm whittling down wood and bark from branches for incense. All parts of the tree can be used as incense, but take care to dry everything well and don't burn raw berries.
Use Rowan for protection and to banish evil, ward off hexes and the workings of Witches. As a liminal plant, Rowan has the power to move between worlds, open and close gates, summon and banish.
Use the fruit bunches to decorate your Autumn altar and feast table, or string the berries up for a festive garland, prayer necklace or meditation beads.
Rowan speaks and is heard in the Spirit world and carries immeasurable
Spiritual Authority. Take some time to learn more about Rowan- it's easy
to spot right now while it's fruiting.
Blessings,
Solaris
