Blackberry Leaf, Fruit & Thorn

Blackberry is the symbol of Death, Pain, Remorse, Grief, Trials and Tribulations. It's long been used in Witchcraft as a way to punish those who wrong us attracting those with sweet fruit only to feel the sharp stabbing of throns. For this reason it also makes for a powerful protection charm, making sure all those who wish harm or to cross our boundaries are greeted with regret.
 
In biblical lore its said when Archangel Michael cast Lucifer down from heaven, he landed in a bed of blackberry. As the fallen angels skin bleed his blood coated the leaves and stem. From this blood grew thorns, as he stood he urinated over the bush cursing with blood and urine that no good would come from the blackberry and from this moment a bush of sweet fruit turned bitter and soft leaf turned to thorn and spike.
 
Blackberry is also linked to the Black Moon, The Dark Goddess and Witches.
