Also known as mountain ash as it can thrive in inhospitable hilly places.
In Celtic mythology rowan was a protective tree planted near homes for protection and to attract good fortune. Its wood was also used to create charms believed to be protective which were hung over doors or worn in the belief that they would safeguard against harm.
 
A beautiful tree with vibrant red berries, lush foliage and a distinctive bark, and a favourite in gardens as well as in the wild mountain areas of Ireland.

Your lantern has been crafted using handpicked leaves from Anita’s garden in Co. Meath. Each leaf has been carefully imprinted into the clay   creating a unique design just for you. 
 
With rowan in your home maybe you will feel the protection of your ancient ancestors surround you.
 
 Your lantern comes with a bilingual information card explaining the folklore of your tree and is posted in a recyclable cardboard box. It is created in earthenware and you can light a candle inside. Be careful however as it  may become hot to touch.
