In Irish folklore the blackthorn is protected by its own fairy tribe – the Luanisidhe or Launantishee. These are spikey, angry creatures who will curse you should you cut wood from blackthorn on the day of the New Year (November 11th) or on the old May Day (May 11th)

Mugwort – For strength, protection and cleansing

Vervain – for Protection and purification

Yarrow – for clearing negativity and easing fears
