Hair witches
Left and centre: photos by Andrew Simon. Right: a comparison of common witch's hair, behind, and Methuselah's beard, at front. While the two appear very similar superficially, the central cord of Methuselah's beard is revealed when cut whereas common witch's hair does not have this cord.
Identification
Common witch's hair is a 15-30 cm long hanging hair lichen. It is pale green and intricately branched, does not have a central strand, and does not have soredia (powdery microscopic clumps of algal and hyphal cells). Small brown saucer-shaped fruiting bodies (apothecia) often dot the branches.
Similar Species
Methuselah's beard (Usnea longissima) is a similar hanging hair lichen with a central strand containing a central white cord. A comparison of the two species can be seen in the top right photo.
Vancouver witch's hair (Alectoria vancouverensis) is a similar, more greyish-green hanging hair lichen. It is only found at low elevations, whereas common witch's hair is more common at middle and upper elevations.
Human Uses
Alectoria fibres were used by the Nuxalk as false hair for decorating dance masks.
Intriguing Info
There are two common witch's hair subspecies: sarmentosa and vexillifera. Ssp. vexillifera is blue-listed in BC.
Deer browse on Alectoria species, particularly in old-growth forests in the winter when there is less available forage.

What do Witches do With Hair? (The History & Symbolism)
The oldest witchcraft has always viewed human hair as an important part of the craft. Hair has always been a part of people since the beginning of the world. Hair is an important cultural marker, but when interpreted correctly it can be an indicator of health, sexual vigor, social status, and also an inexhaustible source of myths, traditions, and legends.
Hair has been very important in all magical ways. But what do witches do with hair? Let’s find out.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Hair can serve various purposes in witchcraft, often as a personal and powerful magical tool.
It is used in love spells to establish connections, in binding spells for restraint, as a protective talisman in witch bottles, for divination, and sometimes for malevolent purposes like curses (though less common among ethical practitioners).
The ethical use of hair in witchcraft depends on the practitioner’s intent and respect for personal boundaries, as obtaining hair without consent is considered invasive.

Hair in history and cultures: the symbolism
In magic, hair has served to identify a person’s attributes, whether it be a man’s or a woman’s, with esoteric interpretations.
Table 1: Symbolism and MeaningsSymbol Meaning Strength Hair symbolizes personal strength, resilience, and power. Identity Hair represents personal identity, individuality, and self-expression. Connection Hair can symbolize connections to ancestors, spirits, or deities. Energy Hair is believed to hold and carry energy, emotions, and spiritual essence. Protection Hair is used for protective purposes, shielding from negative influences. In the Middle Ages, for example, long hair in men came to signify courage, courage, and virility. On the other hand, for women who had long and flowing hair, it had a symbol of lust and debauchery. Thus circulated horrifying stories about nymphs, fairies, and mermaids who perverted men with their sensual songs and long, hypnotizing locks.
In the forest, a nymph listens attentively as Pan plays his flute. She has flowers in her long, golden hair, and she leans against a gnarled tree. Sunlight penetrates the canopy. By: John Reinhard Weguelin, watercolor
In ancient times, especially in Germany, there was the custom of shaving the heads of enslaved people so that their social status was clearly visible.
Baldness was one of the characteristic signs of misfortune and ill health in almost all cultures, which could only be avoided with prayer, repentance, and certain potions made by witches and sorcerers.
In certain cultures, even the mere act of wearing suspicious hairstyles by subjects was considered rebellion and was severely punished.
In the medieval Christian world, monks entering a religious order shaved their heads, and women who embraced religion in convents cut their hair as a sign of renouncing the worldly pleasures of frivolous society.
The length of the hair was very symbolic, thus in certain cultures, the long hair of the penitents made the sumptuousness of a dress unnecessary. Thus, in representations that we have left of a pictorial type, naked saints are seen but covering their nakedness modestly with their long hair. Hermits also allowed their hair to grow throughout the year and only ventured to populated areas once a year to cut their hair as a symbol of purification.
