A is for ‘Apple’: Mythology & Magical Correspondences of the Apple

Few fruits are as familiar to us as the apple. The many varieties of genus Malus are grown around the world. The species of Malus Domestica (the tree of the common ‘eating apple’) finds its roots in southern Kazakhstan in Central Asia, hailing from the Malus Sieversii, a wild apple tree whose fruits are near identical in appearance to the domestic apple. Thousands of years of cultivation later and the apple is easily one of the most recognizable fruits in the world, appearing in children’s alphabet songs, in some of the most famous works of art mankind has yet produced, and in lore and fairytales throughout the ages.
