In her hands she holds the berries, leaves, and flowers of the elder tree, ready to begin powerful magic with them. Beside her is the symbol of the triple goddess, a trickle representing the maiden, mother, and wise woman.
Elderflower
The elderflower was one of the most useful herbal remedies in medieval times, with the flowers and leaves being found to contain anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.
Elderflower wine is a well-known and delicious by-product of fermenting the flowers with water, lemon, juice, and yeast. The magical properties of elderflower include spell work for prosperity, health, and protection.
