Apple

These are the edible fruit found on apple trees, also known as Malus spp. Among these varieties are the domestic or orchard apple which are known as Malus domestica.

While they are now cultivated worldwide, they originated in Central Asia. This wild ancestor was known as Malus sieversii, and can still be found today.

They have religious and mythological significance in many cultures, the include but are definitely not limited to Norse, Greek, and European Christian traditions.

Magick in the Mundane:

‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’ we all know the saying. However, did you know that it has some magickal correspondences to the saying as well?

Sabbats/Seasons: autumn, particularly Mabon and Samhain festivals.

In magick apples often symbolise love

They can be associated with health and well-being along with self care

The fruit symbolises gratitude, generosity, harvest, and abundance

They serve as a reminder to enjoy the fruits of our labours and to be grateful for the bounty of the Earth as they ripen around the harvest festivals

Through the connection with Christian mythology, apples have been associated with self-knowledge (the tree of knowledge and Adam and Eve, although it’s not specifically an apple in the bible)
