Folklore of Trees - All Hallows' Eve

Trees have been the subjects of myths and legends since prehistoric times. Herbalists and healers have long used trees in traditional medicine and healing rituals and still do today 🌳 This Halloween, join me on a walk in the woods as we head into the darkest part of the year to learn about the ancient magic and mystery surrounding our native trees, the central roles that they have played in our folklore - from fending off evil spirits to charming away warts - as well as sharing some terrible tales! 👻
