The Apple is a complex tree spirit. Its physical form, the apple, can bring both blessing and bane (it is good for overall general health, poultices can soothe inflammations, and apple cider vinegar is good in spiritual cleansings and as an astringent but at the same time, we can also extract cyanide from its seeds.

Traditionally, Apple is a spirit and fruit-tree associated with divine madness, particularly shamanic madness. We see it with figures like Mad Sweeney from the Cattle Raid of Cooley. Some of its kennings include “lunatic, death sense, shelter of lunatics, protection, and force of a man.” Its name in Gaelic is “Queirt” and etymologically through the ‘cu’ sound in this word, it is related to warriors and the hunt, the sacred chase (‘cu’ –anglicized ‘qu’--means wolf or hound and one of its other by-names is ‘shelter of the wild hind’).

GREEK PANTHEON
The Garden of the Hesperides is Hera's orchard in the west, where either a single apple plant or a grove grows, producing golden apples. According to legend, when the marriage of Zeus and Hera took place, the different deities came with nuptial presents for the latter, and among them Gaia, with branches bearing golden apples upon them as a wedding gift. The Hesperides were given the task of tending to the grove, but occasionally picked apples from it themselves. Not trusting them, Hera also placed in the garden an immortal, never-sleeping, hundred-headed dragon named Ladon as an additional safeguard.

In the myth of the Judgement of Paris, it was from the Garden that Eris, the goddess of discord, obtained the Apple of Discord. Eris became disgruntled after she was excluded from the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. In retaliation, she tossed a golden apple inscribed Kallistēi ('For the most beautiful one'), into the wedding party. Three goddesses claimed the apple: Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Paris of Troy was appointed to select the recipient. After being bribed by both Hera and Athena, Aphrodite tempted him with the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Sparta. He awarded the apple to Aphrodite, thus indirectly causing the Trojan War.

NORSE PANTHEON
In Norse mythology, Iðunn, the goddess of eternal youth, is the keeper of an eski (a wooden box made of ash wood and often used for carrying personal possessions) full of apples eaten by the gods when they begin to grow old, rendering them young again. This is described as recurring until Ragnarök. Gangleri (described as King Gylfi in disguise) states that it seems to him that the gods depend greatly upon Iðunn's good faith and care.
Iðunn was once abducted by Þjazi the giant, who used Loki to lure Iðunn and her apples out of Ásgarðr. After borrowing Freyja's falcon skin, Loki liberated Iðunn from Þjazi by transforming her into a nut for the flight back. Þjazi gave chase in the form of an eagle, whereupon reaching Ásgarðr he was set aflame by a bonfire lit by the Æsir.

And of course, the the forbidden fruit in the Book of Genesis is not identified, popular Christian tradition holds that Adam and Eve ate an apple from the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden. The unnamed fruit of Eden thus became an apple under the influence of the story of the golden apples in the Garden of Hesperides. As a result, the apple became a symbol for knowledge, immortality, temptation, the fall of man and sin.

The symbol of the apple branch is a symbol of journeying, of bardic power, and of messengers from the other worlds. Apple is both a gateway and a crossroads and this holds true both within and without. It can be used to awaken energies and travel within the worlds. It can be used to create gateways or doors which unlock deeper meanings in things. It can also be used to carry messages between the worlds. In this, there is a very strong connection to ancestor work. The relationship to poison (cyanide) serves as a deadly reminder that some doors should not be unlocked.

Henbane

Known by the folk names “black nightshade,” “devil’s eye,” “Jupiter’s bean,” and “poison tobacco,” the henbane is a poisonous plant that was commonly used by sorcerers of old in rituals to conjure forth demons and “fantastic apparitions.” It was also used in the art of weather working, as the plant was believed to hold the power to bring forth rain from the heavens above.

Like many of the Old World plants used by practitioners of the Black Arts, henbane was attributed with divinatory powers and employed by those who were masters of the art of prophecy. It was a main ingredient in sorcerer’s salves and flying ointments, and many old grimoires indicate that henbane, along with o***m and thorn apple, were the three banes (poisonous herbs) most favored by devotees of sorcery.

Despite its toxicity, henbane was, at one time, an herb also associated with amatory enchantments. Interestingly, it was believed that a woman could be made to fall in love with a man if he wore or carried henbane in a charm bag. However, in order for the plant to work its magick effectively for the sorcerer, he needed to gather it at dawn. It was also imperative that he did it skyclad (n**e) and while standing on one foot, according to the late Scott Cunningham in Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs. There is no mention as to why this curious procedure stood on.

Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger): In Greek mythology, it is said that the spirits of the dead wore wreaths of henbane upon their head to help them forget their mortal lives.The hero Hercules is also at times depicted wearing a crown of henbane, signifying his ability to cross into the Underworld and back. The henbane plant, which is biannual, mimics this journey into the Underworld, as it spends most of its first year growing underground before spiking upward in its second year.

I recommend using henbane leaves and flowers for necromantic spells and rituals, or those that involve calling upon and communicating with the spirits of the dead.

Wolves in Mythology

Native American Traditions
In many Indigenous cultures, the wolf is considered a sacred spirit animal. It represents intelligence, leadership, and deep familial bonds. Many tribes view the wolf as a teacher, guiding individuals toward self-discovery and a greater understanding of nature’s balance. Some traditions even see the wolf as a protector, ensuring harmony within the community.

In Celtic lore, the wolf is often associated with the moon and the spirit world. Wolves were believed to be shapeshifters, guiding souls between realms and offering wisdom to those who seek transformation. The wolf was also linked to warriors and hunters, symbolising skill, strategy, and loyalty.

Japanese Folklore
In Japan, wolves were once honored as divine messengers and protectors of travelers. The Shinto belief system regarded them as guardians against evil spirits, and in some rural areas, shrines were built in their honor. Wolves were also believed to possess supernatural abilities, making them both feared and respected.

Nordic & Viking Legends
In Norse mythology, wolves hold both destructive and protective roles. Fenrir, the giant wolf, was foretold to bring chaos, yet Odin’s wolves, Geri and Freki, symbolised loyalty and strength. This duality represents the wolf’s connection to both destruction and renewal, reminding us that transformation often requires letting go of the old to embrace the new.
The most famous story involved the God Odin and his relationship with Geri and Freki. Geri, meaning "the greedy one," and Freki, meaning "the ravenous one," were two of Odin's many wolves who followed the god Odin into battle.

The Skidi Pawnee once called Sirius the wolf star, which coincides with the Chinese astrological name of The Celestial Wolf. Pawnee teachings say that the wolf was the first animal to be killed, which in turn brought death to the rest of the world. This might be why howling is often considered a message from the spirit world in Indigenous belief. One Nuu-chah-nulth story from Vancouver Island claims that wolves are the returned spirits of the dead in their new physical form. Less directly, a sharp wolf bone was used to prick a person’s chest during the Aztec ritual of last rites.

Inuit say the very first man married a she-wolf. Their children were born in pairs – one female and one male – each speaking a different language. The children left the den and wandered far and wide, eventually populating the lengths of the earth. The Mongols have a similar story. Their ancestors were a blue-gray wolf and a fallow doe. Genghis Khan was their direct descendent.

The names of the nation of Georgia derives from Old Persian designation of the Georgians vrkān meaning "the land of the wolves", that would eventually transform into gorğān, term that will be finding its way into most European languages as "Georgia".

The wolf is a national symbol of Chechnya. According to folklore, the Chechens are "born of a she-wolf", as included in the central line in the national myth, as well as the opening line of the National Anthem of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
The "lone wolf" symbolizes strength, independence and freedom. A proverb about the teips (clans) is "equal and free like wolves".

Baltic
According to legend, the establishment of the Lithuanian capital Vilnius began when the grand duke Gediminas dreamt of an iron wolf howling near the hill. Lithuanian goddess Medeina was described as a single, unwilling to get married, though voluptuous and beautiful huntress. She was depicted as a she-wolf with an es**rt of wolves
