General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Tom,

Interesting.

By the path approaching my front door, I have the most enormous Rowan Tree I ever did see: it is taller than a three storey house.

I have learned that the Victorians often planted them by a front door: the superstition being that they did not allow a witch to pass and enter the house.

Does not work. I have a friend who is a witch, and she has obviously not been instructed in this particular bit of Wicca etiquette.
