Tree of the Week- Ash
I already do a crystal of the week so I am now starting a tree of the week, so the first week is *drum roll* Ash.
The Ash tree is very heavily used in magick involving protection, and magick involving water. This tree would be very good used in protection spells from water and prevention of drowning.
As the Ash tree is associated with water it is also used in the removal of blockages in the body, and mentally. So, this tree is very good for matters of aiding communication, learning, and love.

In myth
The Ash Tree Ash is a traditional wood & represents Yggdrasil, the World Tree and is one of the three of the Fae Triad (Oak, Ash, Thorn).
Greek mythographer Hesiod claimed the first man was born from the ash tree. This became the custom of planting an ash tree at the birth of each baby. The state of the tree served as an indicator of that person’s health and strength According to the Norse poetic Eddas Odin’s spear was made from an Ash Tree. In some European folklore, the Ash tree is seen as protective but at the same time malevolent. Anyone who does harm to an Ash can find themselves the victim of unpleasant circumstances
