Rowan (Luis) - January 21 to February 17 (Celtic Calendar) : Wand Woods
Chapter 17
Rowan trees (Sorbus rosaceae) are found in cooler moderate climates in the northern hemisphere as well as in the mountains of China and the Himalayas. They are a small deciduous tree, 10 to 20 meters tall, that can withstand windy areas. Leaves are arranged alternately (not beside each other on the branch) and the flowers are white with five petals. The fruit is a berry, 4 to 8 mm, that is orange or red, but sometimes pink, yellow or white in the Asian species. Rowan trees grow in well-drained acidic, peaty (partially decayed vegetation) soil. A magical variety of the Rowan Tree is the Wiggentree. As a wand, Rowan is reliable and protective and is useful for Charms and Transfiguration. There is an old rhyme that says ' Rowan gossips, Chestnuts drone, Ash are stubborn, Hazel moans'. Its ideal owner is clear headed and pure of heart.
