 ＰＩＮＥIThe pine tree symbolizes life, longevity, and immortality. The pine cone is the Semitic symbol of life.
In Japanese mythology, the spirits of the pine tree are known as Jo and Uba. Pine trees are the symbol of fidelity in marriage, and there are numerous myths about devoted lovers being magickally transformed into pine trees.
The boughs of the pine are used in many Native American ceremonies, and its pitch smoke is used by the Indians to treat such ailments as rheumatism, coughs and colds.
Pines are planted as "marriage trees" in the tyrol, and used by Witches in Europe and the United States for protection, healing and spells to attract the affections of another. Pine incense is commonly used in counter-magick and purification rites.

 ＰＯＰＬＡＲThe white poplar is regarded as a tree of the Autumn Equinox and of old age. In pre-Hellenic Greece, the black poplar was used as a "funeral tree" and was sacred to Mother Earth.
In ancient Roman folklore, poplar trees were sacred to the hero Hercules, and in the seventeenth century England, its leaves were accounted an important ingredient in "hell-broths" and magickal charms.

 ＲＯＷＡＮThe rowan tree (also known as the Mountain ash) is a tree with many mythic and magickal associations. It was a sacred tree of the Druids, and was believed to be a protection against sorcery and evil spirits in the Middle AGes.
The berries of the rowan were used to heal the wounds of those injured in battle and were believed to give a man an extra year of life. In modern times, the dried berries are ground and made into magickal incenses which were burned to ritually invoke the Goddess, spirit guides, Witches' familiars, or elemental spirits.
Rowan leaves are used in love divination and spells or rituals designed to enhance one's poetic creativity.
In days of yore, rowan tree Witch Day was celebrated at the old Celtic festival of Beltane (May Day) which is now one of the four major Sabbats celebrated by Witches.

 ＷＩＬＬＯＷThe willow, a tree often found growing near sacred wells, has long been associated with Witchcraft and Goddess-worship. It was regarded sacred by Witches and Pagan poets for all parts of it are usable in the practice of magick. The wood makes excellent wands for healing rituals and moon-magick, and can also be used in talismans when one seeks protection of the Goddess.
p***y willows, which are associated with both healing and springtime, are appropriate altar decorations for Candlemass, as this Sabbat (also known as Imbolc) is the festival of Brigid - the Pagan goddess of healing and of sacred wells. p***y willows ere used by the Druids as protective charms, and in the Middle Ages, it was a common belief that the familiars of Witches grew from p***y willows.
In northern Europe, the willow tree was so strongly connected with the Old Religion that even the word "Witch" was derived from the same ancient word for Willow.
In China, the willow is regarded as the tree of Immortality; and in Europe, it is the symbol of eloquence.

 ＹＥＷThe yew, like other conifers, is known as a "Tree of Immortality" in many parts of the world. It was commonly used in the practice of medieval sorcery, and was one of the Witch-Goddess Hecate's mystical cauldron ingredients in Shakespeare's Macbeth.
According to old folk superstition, a man or a woman who dares to sleep in the shade of a yew tree is sure to either die a horrible death or fall into an enchanted sleep.
