Another view of Rowan berries.
There are many names for the Rowan tree, Mountain-ash, Quickbeam, Quicken-tree, Dogberry, Witchwood, Ranty and Wicken to name a few. It symbolises psychic powers, healing and protection and has a significant place in mythology and folklore. It was (and still is in some places) to be a magical tree that protects against witches and evil spirits and beloved by fairies.
