Sloe berries are the ripe fruit of the blackthorn tree (or Prunus spinosa) which are most commonly found blossoming in woodlands up and down Britain. 

Hang over doorways or carried, the sloe wards off evil and banishes emotional demons and negative vibrations. The wood is sometimes used to make divining rods and wishing rods. These wishing rods are used in spells of all types and are actually all-purpose magical wands. 

Sloe berries were believed to have protective qualities, and amulets made from the wood of the blackthorn were thought to ward off evil spirits. The blackthorn and its sloe berries have also found their way into literature and mythology.
