Origin & Traditional Use

White oak is a long-lived North American hardwood valued for barrels, ships and furniture, and its tannin-rich bark was used for tanning leather. In folk magic oak brings strength, endurance and protection.

Uses in the Work

Use it for strength, endurance and protection. Burn it to call Jupiterian and solar powers, and add it to workings that need staying power and long-term success. Carry a piece to resist curses and illness, and use oak in workings of male power and kingship. Oak is also traditional in binding and justice work.

Lore

Oak was sacred to Zeus, Jupiter and Thor. The oracle of Dodona read the rustling of oak leaves as the voice of Zeus. The Druids, whose name may mean “oak-knowers”, gathered mistletoe from oak, and many old courts and moots met under oak trees.
