Luna Ignis Elder Straw For Life Breathing

Elder is known as "The tree of life and death".

It is one of the sacred nine woods of wicca and the only one that must never be burned.

There is an old English protection rhyme that must be recited before cutting an Elder tree unless you be cursed!

Sacred to all Luna goddesses, and one of the most important of the old Celtic power trees! 

Elder is hollow with a "pith" in the middle, once dried this is removed. Lightly sanded at both ends for comfort.

Used in traditional witchcraft, as the tree of life and death, elder straws are used to breathe life, or death, into a poppet, fetish or spell.
