The apple has long been a tree of enchantment, bearing fruit that promises wisdom and otherworldly journeys. In Irish lore, the silver bough of the apple tree granted safe passage to the Otherworld. In Welsh tradition, Emain Ablach (“the island of apples”) is a place of healing and immortality. Avalon itself is “the isle of apples,” forever tied to the mysteries of death and rebirth.
