The Blackberry Season | Northern Folklore, Healing, and Hedgerow Secrets

In the late-summer hedgerows of my northern home, the bramble weaves her thorned arches, guarding clusters of dark, sun-warmed fruit. In this episode of Flora in Folklore, we wander the forest edge to meet the blackberry ; a plant steeped in Northern European lore as a guardian, healer, and threshold to the otherworld. From the sweet taste of wild berries on a summer walk, to the old charms and herbal remedies recorded in ancient texts, the bramble’s story is one of resilience, magic, and the wild heart of the hedgerow. Original narration by The Folkkeeper's Hearth For those who’d like to read further, much of the lore in this episode is drawn from works by Katharine Briggs, Christina Hole, T.F. Thiselton-Dyer, W.Y.
