"The density of the rowan wood makes it very usable for walking sticks and magician's staves. This is why druid staffs, for example, have traditionally been made out of rowan wood, and its branches were often used in dowsing rods and magic wands.
...especially potent against witches and their magic, and as a counter-charm against sorcery.[8] Rowan's alleged protection against enchantment made it perfect to be used in making rune staves, for metal divining, and to protect cattle from harm by attaching sprigs to their sheds. Leaves and berries were added to divination incense for better scrying."
"According to Finnish legend [...] the intense redness of the berries led to the tree becoming known as 'Thor's Tree'"
"It was said to have saved the life of the god Thor by bending over a fast flowing river in the Underworld in which Thor was being swept away, and helping him back to the shore. Rowan was furthermore the prescribed wood on which runes were inscribed to make rune staves."
I win.
