The folklore and legends surrounding the hawthorn tree are quite extensive and go back many centuries, especially in Europe and the British Isles. The most famous in Britain is the Holy Thorn of Glastonbury, which grows at Glastonbury Tor, the supposed resting place of King Arthur. According to legend, the tree was grown after Joseph of Arimathea, upon arriving at Glastonbury Tor, thrust his staff into the ground, and from this the tree grew. Although the original is no longer there, several of its supposed descendants still grow there. When it blooms during the winter, a sprig is traditionally sent to the Queen, who is said to decorate her breakfast table on Christmas morning. Hawthorn fruit has long been used as a food and medicine in Europe, particularly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

In magicHawthornorn is ruled by Mars and Fire. It is an herb of power, often used in Beltane rituals for power and fertility, and because of that, it is often incorporated into springtime weddings. It was also carried as a sachet by fishermen in olden times to promote a good catch. It is also said to protect against evil spirits, especially when used to guard children's rooms. Hawthorn is also a sacred herb of the fairies and is often left as an offering to them.
