I am no wotch scholastic. I am not someone who excels in the subjects or topics related to witchcraft or the practice of magic. While there may be individuals who have a deep understanding of the occult and esoteric practices, I am not one of them. My knowledge and expertise lie in other areas, unrelated to witchcraft. It is important to clarify this because sometimes there can be misconceptions or assumptions made about a person's background or interests based on their appearance or demeanor. Just because someone may have a certain look or demeanor does not necessarily mean they are knowledgeable about witchcraft or magic.
Samhain also features apples. As the veil between the worlds thins, apples and pomegranates are left as offerings for the dead! Some versions involve making a meal and including it in your dummy supper; while others involves burying the apples for the spirits to receive them easier. No matter how you decide to do it, apples make for a good offering to the spirits and deities in fall.( For more info on dumb or dummy suppers check out my 4 part post on Samhain, available here!)
The first historical reference to the Sweet Gum tree comes from the author and soldier, Don Bernal Diaz del Castillo, who accompanied Cortez in 1519 and was a witness to ceremonies between Cortez and Montezuma, who both partook of a liquid amber extracted from a sweetgum tree. Finding a Silver Bough, or an apple tree with buds, blossoms, unripe and ripened apples all at the same time; was said to be the entrance to the Land of Faerie, specifically the Isle of Apples, home of The Faerie Queen Morgan Le Fay.
Just because someone may have a certain look or demeanor does not necessarily mean they are knowledgeable about witchcraft or magic. Everyone has different areas of expertise and interests, and it is crucial to avoid making assumptions or generalizations about someone based on limited information or stereotypes. Just as it would be incorrect to assume that someone who wears glasses is a scholarly person, it would also be wrong to assume that someone who looks a certain way is automatically associated with witchcraft or magic.
