Rowan

Rowan twigs and leaves have been used as talismans of protection for at least two thousand years. In Wales, rowan trees were planted in graveyards to protect the spirits of he dead.

With graveyard vandalism becoming a growing problem in cities, small towns, and along isolated country roads, you may want to use some rowan magick to protect the resting places of your loved ones.

Take a handful of rowan leaves, dry and crumble them, and scatter them about the cemetery, saying:

I call on the guardian of this keep
To allow all here in peace to sleep;
Standing watchful night and day,
Keeping harm and mischief away.
In peace and comfort sleep the dead
And spirits risen from the coffin bed;
Ward and guard this place of rest,
Rowan leaves protect the best.

Blessed Be
