In this episode of The Haunted Canvas, we’re exploring the folklore and symbolism surrounding six trees: oak, Willow, hawthorn, apple, birch, and yew.

From sacred groves and ancient beliefs to trees associated with love, protection, mourning, rebirth, and the passage between worlds, we’ll uncover the stories that have grown around these familiar parts of the landscape.

Because sometimes, when we look at a tree, we’re not just seeing a tree.

We’re seeing a story.
