This plant, when carried in a small pouch, is believed to offer profound healing to those grappling with heartache, fostering emotional balance and aiding in the recovery from emotional wounds.
In folklore, the hazel tree is associated with the goddess Brighid, who brings divine inspiration. Forked branches of hazel were – and still 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.
