The hazel tree has long been magical and is
used to gain knowledge, wisdom and poetic
inspiration and the art of communication. It is
said that it was the nine magical hazelnuts that
gave the Salmon of Knowledge its wisdom.
Wands made of this wood symbolize white
magic and healing, while forked sticks are
traditionally used to find water or buried
treasure.
If you are in need of magical protection,
string hazelnuts on a cord and hang them up in
your home or sacred space and carry them with
you when out and about. When you are
working with nature, a circle drawn around
you with a hazel twig will enhance the energy.
