Hawthorn Berry Powder

The Hedge Mother’s Heart

Hawthorn Berry is the fruit of the sacred hedge tree, long known as the guardian of thresholds and the keeper of the in-between. Growing at the edges of fields and old churchyards, hawthorn has been called the Witch’s Tree—a plant that stands with one root in the human world and one in the realm of spirit. Its berries carry the warm, steady magic of protection, love, and ancestral shelter.

Magical Virtues

• guarding the home and those who dwell within
• heart-healing after grief, betrayal, or loneliness
• blessing marriages, partnerships, and chosen family
• strengthening boundaries without hardening the soul
• opening safe passage to the Otherworld

Hawthorn is both tender and thorn-armed. It teaches that true protection is not cruelty, but fierce love with clear limits.
