In folklore, the hazel tree is associated with the goddess Brighid, who brings divine inspiration. Forked branches of hazel are used for dowsing and an ancient belief in its protective qualities made a hazel staff the accessory of choice for pilgrims, shepherds and other countryside wanderers. Magic wands were fashioned from hazel and it was once thought that if you wore a crown of hazel twigs and wished very hard, your wish would come true.
Known as the Tree of Knowledge in Norse mythology, the hazel was sacred to the god Thor; In Irish and Welsh folklore, the hazel was believed to be a fairy tree and it still grows near many holy wells. Tara, the seat of ancient Irish kings, was located close to a hazel wood; and it is said that members of the Fianna, a legendary band of Irish warriors, learned to defend themselves with only a hazel stick and a shield.
