Hawthorn (also known as Whitethorn, May Tree, Haw-tree, Thorn-apple, Red Haw or Hog-apple) is a large genus of the Rose Family which flowers at this time with white (in some species, red or pink) blossom called “may;” its fruit, a small dark-red berry, is called “the haw.” The tree is generally considered the best plant for hedges. Turks use a branch of Hawthorn-blossom as an erotic symbol because its scent carries for many men a strong connection with female sexuality, a fact celebrated in medieval England by the May custom of plucking flowered Hawthorn-boughs and dancing around the maypole.

Willow is a tree that has been sacred in numerous religious beliefs and rituals dating back to the Old Stone Age, from which were found funerary flints shaped as willow-leaves. The words “witch,” “wicked” and “wicker” are all derived from the same ancient word for Willow, and all Druidical human sacrifices were offered at the full moon in wicker-baskets.
