Under the Elder Tree is a beautiful hardcover nature journal featuring original garden photography transformed into painterly art — inspired by the most magical, feared, and beloved tree of the ancient world.
The Druids held the elder sacred — a tree of transformation, regeneration, and the thin veil between worlds. On Midsummer's Eve, folklore says fairies gathered beneath its blossoms to dance in the moonlight. And no one cut an elder tree without first asking permission of her guardian spirit, the Elder Mother — to do otherwise was said to invite misfortune.
The elder is generous as well as magical. Thrushes, robins, waxwings, and starlings feast on her dark autumn berries. For centuries, her flowers have been steeped into cordials and tinctures to ease fever, calm inflammation, and strengthen the body's own defenses — old medicine that still holds up today.
This journal was inspired by an elderberry that survived a broken stem, nursed back to health with a popsicle stick splint in a coastal New Jersey garden — proof that the elder's legendary resilience is no myth.
The back cover carries the full folklore of the elder tree — a small piece of old magic in your hands every time you open it.
150 lined pages in a hardcover matte journal, 5.75 x 8 inches, with perforated pages for easy tear-out. For nature notes, garden journals, morning pages, or thoughts worth keeping.
