In ancient Ireland, apple trees were one of three things (the other being a hazel bush or an oak grove) that could only be paid for with other living objects - money could not exchange hands. In Tir-na-nóg, the Celtic land of the ever-young, apple trees bore both fruit and flowers at the same time. It is interesting to note that in the Christian myth of paradise, no specific fruit is ever mentioned for the Tree of Life, but everyone interprets it to mean an apple. When picking apples, respect their sacred origins. Three of the finest apple specimens should be left as an offering to the Goddess and to the faeries who tend the grove.
This is a good harvest drink, and perfect for a Samhain feast, as it aids in divination spells.
