The Hawthorn tree has very special symbolism for me since my childhood
growing up in the midlands surrounded by its abundant fragrant blossom.
It represents an innocence and worldliness.
Traditionally the Hawthorn tree was planted in hedgerows acting as boundaries
and enclosures for farm animals; guarding woodland sanctuaries portraying
its protective force.
Physical, moral and spiritual purity which humans struggle for, is symbolised
in the overflowing abundance of the white flowers, thereby playing a role
at fertility, marriage rites and spring celebrations for millennia.
The Hawthorn blossom is hermoraphrodite, strongly associating the balance
of male and female.
