Hawthorn Oakenridge
the Thornward Warlock
Named for the hawthorn that guards the boundary and the oak that roots the ridge — a name of stubborn protection.
Power
You call the sleeping thorns from the earth — they rise in a slow, deliberate tangle, not to harm but to hold, to bar the way, to mark what is yours.
- Familiar
- A badger named Root
- Coven
- Thornridge
You kept a single hawthorn berry in a tin box, even after it turned to dust. Not for luck — because every time you opened it you could smell the hedge where you found it, and the hedge smelled of a door you were not sure you had closed.
Where the name comes from
