In Christian tradition, the word ‘rosary’ comes from the Latin rosarium, as it is thought that the earliest rosaries may have been made from rosehips. The appearance of roses in unlikely places is said to be proof of the occurrence of a miracle. #WyrdWednesday
Elder trees are protected by Waldgeister, German forest spirits who will attack or mislead any who seek to damage the tree. They use the knots on the trunk as gateways for travel, able to spirit themselves between trees and travel quickly through the forest. #WyrdWednesday
