Anonymousthe one place I would be careful though is around oaks, for they often have dryads in them, the dryads are spirits that live in and around trees, and are also known as tree nymphs, and don’t damage any sacred trees or solitary oak trees standing in a middle of a field, that is a clear indication that the tree is sacred and has faery protection, same with Hawthorn, hawthorn in hedges can be cut because it is usually planted as a hedgerow, but don’t even think about cutting a lone hawthorn in a field, because it will be under faery protection and you will be in big trouble. when in doubt don’t cut. also I would stay away from taking a branch from an ancient tree. badd juju to try that one.
