Elderflower has a long and revered place in folklore, associated with protection, renewal, blessings, and gentle spiritual transformation. Traditionally linked to the Elder tree and its guardian spirit, elderflower is often used in rituals for peace, healing, boundary setting, and transition, offering soft yet powerful support during times of change. It is especially favoured in workings connected to seasonal shifts and liminal moments.

In traditional herbalism, elderflower is known as a cooling, gently diaphoretic herb, historically used to support the body during seasonal discomforts and to encourage gentle release. It has also been valued for its soothing and mildly anti-inflammatory qualities, making it a cherished ingredient in teas and skincare preparations.
