Origin and Meaning of Apple Cults (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Origin and Meaning of Apple Cults

Here again the Madonna appears to be an intrusion from the Christian side, and the date of the wassailing has receded in accordance with later Christian reckoning, but the ceremony itself is very archaic. One tree stands out clearly as the object to be feted, and it is difficult to resist the feeling that the shooting of the guns is meant for the tree, or for some representative of the tree.
