H Huathe-Hawthorn     

Cleansing and chastity, protection

    The hawthorn is a small tree that grows with a dense, many branched and twisted habit. Due to its impenetrable growth, it is mainly used as hedging. Other common names are whitethorn and may.

    Choice of the Hawthorn card represents cleaning and chastity, bringing protection from the  inner magical realms �?in other words, a period of restraint, waiting or keeping oneself to oneself. Concentrate on mental rather than physical activity as a prelude to the spiritual fertilization, growth and harvesting that will follow, providing such preparation has been properly made  as the pure white flowers of the Hawthorn  turn to glowing red haws in the autumn.

    If the card is draw in reversed, you are trying to rush towards a new active phase too quickly without an adequate waiting period. A period of enforced chastity must be observed  for the time being before doors open for new opportunities for you.
