Notes

There are many fables and stories related to the pussy willow. My favorite is the story told by local Native People tells of a small rabbit that climbed to the top of a willow tree one very snowy winter. Tired after his climb, he nestled into the treetop and slept the winter away. When spring came he woke and as he jumped down, bits of his fuzzy tail clung to the tree. From that day on willow buds feature a tiny bit of fur in honor of one of springs busiest creatures, the rabbit.

Willow is alleged to give strength and health, and is believed to increase in power after consecration in church. Catkins are thought to heal from infertility, protect against fever, restore mental and physical strength, and make it easier to endure the separation from loved ones.
