Silver Fir

A~Ailim~Silver Fir

The silver fir, from the family  'Abies,' is a variety of pine that grows in the mountainous regions on the  upper slopes overlooking the lower  forests. Firs are known to grow to tremendous heights. Two silver firs planted by the Duke Of Argyll in the early seventeenth century stood untilrecent times, and reached heights of 124 and 130 feet.

The wood from fir trees is used in the making of furniture, and because of the straightness of the trunks, was used in the making of ship masts. It is a  source of turpentine, resin and tar, and a tea made from the shoots can be  used as a protection against urinary tract and kidney infections.

At one time, much of Scotland was covered with these great trees, but now  only small patches of them remain.

Primrose

When planted in a garden or hung dried on the front  door, primroses will attract the company of Faeries. If you have  them growing under your care, do not let them die! The Faery will be deeply offended by your carelessness.

St. John's Wort

A Druid sacred herb. The Celts passed it through the smoke of the summer solstice fire, then wore it into battle for invincibility. The people of Scotland wore it as a charm against faery influence.

Rowan

L~Luis~Rowan
The rowan, or mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia L.) thrives in poor soils and can colonize well in disturbed areas. In some parts of Europe, rowans are most commonly found around ancient settlements, either because of their weedy nature or because they were planted. Rowans flower in May. They grow to 50 feet and are members of the rose family (Rosaceae).  Its seeds are poisonious!

The rowan, which presides over the month of December, has a reputation as a protector against enchantment and evil spirits. Rune staves, (sticks upon which runes were enscribed,) were cut from this tree. Rowan wood was also used to divine for metal, as hazel twigs are used for water.

Along with several other trees, the rowan played a central role in Druid ceremonies. Sprigs of rowan were hung over the main door of the house, and often worn to ward off enchantment or  "the evil eye." In Wales, rowans were  planted in churchyards to watch over the spirits of the dead. Sacred to the Goddess Brigit. A very magickal tree used for wands, rods, amulets and other spell objects. A forked rowan branch can help find water.

Rowan is the supreme tree of protection, and is used for the churn staff, distaff, the pin of the plough and in many other domestic and agricultural implements. It is common to plant a rowan near the front door of the house, or near the byre door.
