Herbs List: H-L Hawthorn- Fertility, Chastity, Fishing Magic, Happiness Hawthorn has long been used to increase fertility.

The Romans placed hawthorn in cradles to guard the child from evil spells. In the past most Witch's gardens contained at least one hawthorn hedge. The hawthorn is sacred to the fairies, and is part of the tree fairy triad of Britain: 'Oak, Ash and Thorn,' and where all three trees grow together it is said that one may see fairies.
