Being originally a Hoodoo custom (Hoodoo = a form of predominantly African-American traditional folk magic, mostly found in the Southern United States), bottle trees were made as a means of protecting the home by trapping evil spirits within the colorful bottles. Though scarce today, bottle trees are still created for their artistic appeal.
