I greet you, holy Rowan tree,

your roots are deep in the rocky soil,

and share the secrets of Earth,

your leafy branches embrace the stars,

crowned with scarlet fire.

Oh Rowan, I hold you sacred

for in your being, Earth and Heaven meet

in divine and fruitful union.

You are a talisman more worthy than silver or gold.

You are blessed by the Goddess

bounteous Earth, who provides us both

with sustenance.

The caring mother who bestows upon us

the joy of life

You are hallowed by the almighty god,

warder of the nine worlds,

Earth's famous son.

You are honoured to be named

Thor's salvation.

Rowan let me take from you,

a branch with bright berries

to mark my threshold.

Let both Earth and the thunderer protect my home.
