Historical Background

In Irish folklore, the Lunantishee were a race of faeries which guarded blackthorn trees and bushes. They forbade anyone from cutting a branch or stick from the blackthorn on November 11th (original All Hallows Eve) or May 11th (original May Day). If a person cut a branch from the blackthorn, misfortune will befall that person. The link to Morbol derives from the blackthorn bush, with Morbols frequently being considered overgrown man-eating herbaceous plants as opposed to man-eating woody plants like Treants.
