An Elder tree was often planted by the back door of houses to stop evil spirits, faeries & witches from entering. Moreover Welsh housewives had a custom of tracing the outline of elder leaves onto freshly whitened floors to keep witches away. #FolkloreThursday Img: Cicely Barker

"I went into a house and it wasn't a house -
Slow white petals from the may-tree fall;
But it hasn't got a blackbird,
A blackbird,
A blackbird,
It isn't like a house at all." ~A.A.Milne
