Hi, does anyone use the thorns of Blackthorn in magic? Or any other part? If so, how?

It's excellent for making, but not limited to, those very useful "Blasting Rods".

Maybe I slightly misread you question though. Just the "thorns" themselves? I'd consult any "Good Herbal" reference for starters! 🤘

I have used them for home protection/defense.

Gemma Gary says in Traditional Witchcraft:
  • "The feared and formidable Blackthorn is of fiery virtue...it is employed to aid workings of blasting, defensive magic, setting strong boundaries, toad magic, and rites of the new moon. "
  • Also, a charm to protect the inhabitants of a home: "8 blackthorn spikes tied into a cord of red thread, passed through the smoke of Mars and hung up in some window of a home" -- a martial boundary hedge that will harm all who try to force malice/influence upon those who live within.
