GUEST,Peter Laban Folklore: Wish Trees - pushing coins into logs (5) RE: Folklore: Wish Trees - pushing coins into logs 19 Feb 25


Not so much coin trees but a lot of trees at holy wells (in Ireland) have threads or bits of cloth tied to them and there seems to have been an upsurge in the past decade and a half. The idea of ragtrees is that your worry or ailment will disappear once the material tied to the tree's branches decays. Coins will be left in some holy wells.
