In the British Isles, Rowan is used as a protection against lightning and magical charms of all sorts. 在不列顛群島花楸被用于防護雷電和各種魔法。
In ancient Ireland, the Druids of opposing forces would kindle a fire of Rowan and say an incantation over it to summon spirits to take part in the battle. 在古愛爾蘭，戰爭中的德魯伊教徒用花楸燃起火焰，并在其上念誦咒語召喚精靈加入作戰。
