A bit of both for me, Amy
]]>Agreed! But I ask folk to not overlook the tree’s individual magical properties and lore along with those traditions. ๐ Blessings!
]]>Tradition adds depth and meaning to practices. Embrace it or create your own path.
]]>Hello Megan, ๐ Locust trees, both black and honey locust, are associated with various magical and metaphysical properties. Black locust, in particular, is known for its strength, endurance, and ability to absorb negative energy. The bark is also said to correspond with and aid working with the spirit world and a favorite around Samhain. Honey locust on the other hand Honey locust, on the other hand, is seen as a symbol of strength, growth, and renewal. Behind your house I believe you have Catalpa bean trees too. I would look up images of trees before busting a move on your local greenery dearie. Catalpa is more for esoteric, hard to grasp work.
]]>๐ Certainly, your energy can travel all the way to the tree from whence it came. I have ash, maple and corkscrew willow here among others. My witch-wand I use the most is fashioned out of ash wood. I like ash because it’s a really good “all-purpose” wood.
