Huathe-Hawthorn or Whitethorn   Compensation- Sexuality- Misfortune

I am fair among flowers

Misfortune in May Moon Morning.
Destroy it not - disaster due.
Sacred hawthorn scaled heathen Abbey - 
Glastonbury. Bush dark poetry inspires.

Tree:
 In Ireland, the Hawthorn grows around and over wells, and these are the object of certain folk rites involving the tearing of one's clothing and hanging the shreds on the branches. It is said that the destruction of a Hawthorn Bush will bring about disaster for the one responsible. In Celtic lore, Hawthorn bushes are entrances to the magical Otherworld. Their fearsome thorns make them powerful symbols of protection. There is another aspect to this tree for the white blossoms of the Hawthorn are the symbol of female sexual power. Their scent is that of the Flower Maiden Herself. This Ogham is the power of magical sexuality, the creative union of male and female.

Expression: 
The Hawthorn represents the protective doorway to the Otherworld. It has a destructive form when either the powers of enchantment are abused or the Faery Kingdom disturbed. This often brings misfortune to the unwary traveler. To tamper with the powers of the Otherworld in a negative fashion will always bring misfortune. However, this Ogham has a positive side as well. It is also the Flower Maiden awaiting her union with the Green Lord. He waits unseen in the flourishing greenwoods. This is the power of magical sexuality, the creative union of male and female. It is the raw power of love which attracts two (often opposing) forces together.

Divination: 
Huathe in its positive aspect portends a reward for past actions. There will be an encounter with the positive things in life, the inhabitants of the Otherworld, and the Faery Folk. The power of this Ogham is the doorway to their underground kingdom full of riches and gold. An inner search for happiness may occur, much like a traveler’s journey into the Underground Kingdoms of the Lord and Lady of the Faeries. You will begin to fully realize your human potential. The active forces of life are at their greatest power now. Stimulation and positive energies are entering your life. There may be an encounter with the power of love and lust in all its forms. There will be a discovery of the ties that bind two people together in a harmonious union. Now is a time of love, sexuality, and erotic pleasures.

The Challenge
 Huathe in its negative aspect is the misfortune that arises from past careless behavior. You may have taken too much time to "smell the roses" and disaster has occurred. There may also be the tendency to rush ahead too quickly and not enjoy time with loved ones. There is a need for gestation and patience, and the discovery of spiritual value.  Intellectual and physical sterility are a danger. Unfulfilling love affairs, or obsessive eroticism may cause distress. There may be enforced inactivity, which will eventually give rise to new opportunities. Be wary of secretly  sabotaging your own efforts due to a lack of self-esteem and a sense of self-worth.

 

Huathe in The Fifths

Mide, Center: Huathe in Focus is Resolution.

(P) The past and its present consequences are in focus right now. There will be a period of love, enchantment, and rewards, if your past actions have been just and honorable.

(N) If your past actions have not been just, then misfortune, disaster, and punishment will become the resolution. It all depends upon the actions of the past.

Seis, South: Huathe in Fire is Evaluation.

What you need to learn, or be aware of, is the way to evaluate your future actions in terms of your past actions. This way, you are able to achieve the outcome you would like to receive. You may also need to learn how to evaluate the past in order to come to terms with the present.

Fis, West: Huathe in Water is Disharmony.

What you may need to do to regain balance and harmony is make amends for past wrongdoings. Or you may need to reward or recompense someone who has assisted you in the past. Until such time, the Door to the Faerie Realm, the door to life and its wonderful possibilities, will be closed to you.

Cath, North: Huathe in Earth is Compensation.

The return of a favor or an injury is about to manifest. If you have been kind to others and shared that which you had, you will receive compensation in your time of need. If you have been unkind and miserly, then the compensation of poverty will be yours.

Blath, East: Huathe in Air is Frustration.

What is in conflict is the past and the present. You may not feel justly rewarded for your hard work and efforts of the past. Or you may feel unjustly punished for some act.
