Samhain And The Acorn

Samhain And The Acorn

Source Unknown



Witches once gave each other a Acorn at Samhain as a gift.  The giving an Acorn to some one was a secret way of telling that person you were a witch,  as only another witch would understand the meaning,



Acorns are a symbol of :



    * protection,

    * fertility,

    * growth,

    * values and friendship.



It should also be noted that within the Acorn lies a forest just waiting to come to life.  When giving a Acorn to another, you are reminding them that within themselves there is so much to give - learn and teach.  In other words, they have their own forest within themselves.



And one final thought and note:  This custom is thought to have also been used during the burning times so others of like mind could be recognized.
