Julie Howlin<p>The type of wassailing still common today takes place in orchards, particularly those growing Apples or Pears. People gather in the orchards to sing and generally make noise. They might bang pots and pans or even let off shotguns. The purpose of this is twofold: firstly to wake up the trees and second to scare away any evil spirits lurking in the branches.</p><p>10 things you might not know about Wassailing:</p><p><a href="https://topicaltens.blogspot.com/2024/01/5-january-wassailing.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">topicaltens.blogspot.com/2024/</span><span class="invisible">01/5-january-wassailing.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Wassail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wassail</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Wassailing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wassailing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Traditions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Traditions</span></a></p>
