(Salix alba) Also known as White Willow, European Willow, Tree of Enchantment,
and Witches Aspirin. One of the Seven Sacred Trees of the Irish. A Druid sacred
tree, the willow is a Moon tree sacred to the White Lady. It's groves were
considered so magical that priests, priestesses and all types of artisans sat
among these trees to gain eloquence, inspiration, skills, and prophecies.
Parts Used: Bark, collected in the Spring.
Magical Uses: Willows are commonly found near ancient British burial sites.
The willow is a guardian tree, said to protect from evil influences. The
willow tree has a healing aura that blesses all it touches. All parts of the
willow guard against evil and can be carried or placed in the home for this
purpose. Magical brooms, especially Witch's brooms, are traditionally bound
with a willow branch.
The old phrase "knock on wood" comes from the custom of knocking on the wood
of the willow to advert evil. The wood is also used for wands that are
dedicated to Moon magick. The leaves and bark are used in spells designed for
love, healing and necromancy.
Mix crushed willow bark and sandalwood and burn under the waning Moon for
necromancy rites. It is said that to know whether you will be married within
the new year, the willow tree can tell you. On New Years Eve throw your shoe
into the tree (you have nine throws total). If it gets caught on any of
those nine throws then you will be married within the next twelve months.
As a funeral herbe, planting a Willow during your lifetime is said to protect
you when you take final leave of your body. The Willow (or a direct descendant
through a cutting) must be thriving at your death. The Pussy Willow (a different
variety) was deemed ideal by the Druids for charms and protection. Even today
there are some that believe a branch of the pussy willow is the best for ritual
wands. There are indeed many types of willow and they all make excellent
magickal wands. Pussy Willow cuttings are often included as altar decorations
at Candlemas or Eostara, depending on the climate.
Willow is the herbe to use with rock crystal to charge the stone and give it
protective and healing virtues.
