Mabon Rowanmote
the Stormthistle Fae
Named for the autumnal equinox that balances light and dark, and the rowan tree’s motte where storm-touched thistles grow.
Power
Thorn-storm — you can call a lightning strike that forks into thistle-seeds, embedding in anything it hits; each seed roots and grows a thorny vine within a day, but you feel every puncture as a small bruise.

You are balancing a thistle seed on the tip of a tuning fork, waiting for the note that splits the sky. The longest night you ever kept was in a rowan grove, counting the flashes of a storm that would not break. When a single, white-hot bolt hit the tree beside you, the thistle in your hand bloomed violet, and you have been its keeper ever since.
