The Rowan is a faerie tree
\nAn ancient sacred soul
\nIts seems it originated
\nFrom ambrosia the goal
\nOf the goddess Hebe
\nIn Her magickal chalice
\nShe
\nLost a cup to the demons
\nAnd charged her eagle
\nTo get it free<\/p>\n
In the fight
\nwith the demons
\nits feathers
\nAll got torn
\nThey Fell to earth
\nWith lots of blood
\nAnd A Rowan Tree
\nwas born<\/p>\n
Its leaves are shaped
\nLike eagle feathers
\nThe pomes came from the blood
\nAnd each pome bears
\nA pentogram
\nSo much so
\nA flood<\/p>\n
Of little trees, are everywhere
\nAnd recognised to be
\nMagickal and faeries like
\nThis lovely little tree<\/p>\n
The lady of the mountain
\nFor great heights they attain
\nAsh like from the rose family
\nAnd charming is the gain
\nOf bards and poets everywhere
\nIt may just be our tree
\nIt represents fhe dragons
\nAnd the serpents too who be<\/p>\n
THe goddess Brigit loved the Rowan
\nIts name linked with the NORSE
\nRuna meaning charm
\nIt was also used ofcourse
\nFor divining metals
\nAnd druid ceremonies
\nProtection against the evil eye
\nAnd other remedies<\/p>\n
In churchyards to watch over
\nThe spirits of the dead
\nTo ward off false enchantment
\nAnd, that being said
\nNumber 2 in the ogham list
\nLUIS Is its name
\nBringings protection to ones dwelling
\nWhere it grows another claim<\/p>\n
Its a hard wood used for walking sticks
\nFor carving and handles for tools
\nSorbus acuparia THOR tis said he calls
\n out
\nAs he is falling clutching a ROWAN tree
\nWhich saves him from a fated death
\nIsn’t that
\nExtraordinary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
