73

73 is the flip side of the perfect number, 37, and has some of the same symbolic meanings of 37.  It too is a prime number, as it can only be divided by one and itself and when the digits are added together, you get 10 or 1, the beginning and the end.  In this page, I am going to briefly discuss herbs and other plants, and some of their uses and their symbolism.  If you appreciate my efforts, you can support me by clicking on Buy Me a Coffee and leaving me a tip. Thank you.

Some of the sources that I use for my information are:

Wattles and baskets
Fairy tree of Sacred Wells
Tree of Knowledge
Wisdom in a nut's shell

The Celtic tree for August 5 to September 1 is Hazel,  sometimes referred to as coll or the life force within you.  The European hazel is an under story tree found in oak and birch woodlands.  This bushy tree was frequently coppiced to create the wood for weaving wattles and baskets.  It is a fine bush to have around, producing tools, shelter, protection, and food.  The leaves are used to feed livestock and the nuts provide a highly nutritious food for both animals and people.

This sacred tree of the Celts was considered to be highly magical, giving the environment around the tree an energetic charge that was inspiring to those in its presence.  The Irish and Welsh considered it to be a tree of the fairies and the guardian of sacred wells.  The Norse saw hazel as the Tree of Knowledge.  The nuts were believed to be kernels of concentrated wisdom, so much so that the phrase "in a nut's shell"  grew out of this idea.

Hazel has long been used for a number of magical purposes.  Eating the nuts is believed to endow one with wisdom or fertility.  Stringing the nuts into a garland and hanging it around the house is believed to bring good luck to the household. Or you can protect a magical space by drawing a circle around it with a hazel twig.  To make wishes come true, try making the wish while wearing a hazel crown.  The most well known use is for divining water.

Food, fencing, and magic.  What more can you ask of a bush.
