      Hawthorn is a thorned hedgerow plant used historically for protection, boundary-setting, and heart work. In European folk practice, it was planted in hedges and at property edges to mark borders and discourage unwanted influence.

      In magic, hawthorn is a threshold plant linked to liminal spaces and spirit activity, with strong associations to warding and guarding. Traditional uses include home protection, stabilizing relationships, and supporting grief rites, with an emphasis on respect and restraint in harvesting and handling.

      Its alchemical planet is Venus. Hawthorn’s Venus association comes through themes of love, harmony, attachment, and emotional balance, paired with the plant’s thorns as a symbol of discernment and healthy limits. Hawthorne represents the full scope of love, including its pain.

      Hawthorn tea is a traditional heart tonic. Hawthorn supports cardiovascular health by improving blood flow, protecting blood vessels, and supporting a steady, efficient heartbeat. It also supports parasympathetic activity, promoting relaxation.

      To use it, burn hawthorn leaves on incense coals for protection and connection with loved ones. Drink hawthorn tea to support the Heart Center.
