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:
20,000 Secrets of Tea by Victoria Zak
Herbs by Lesley Bremness
Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs by Scott Cunningham
​Internet google searches of the plant
    The sites I usually use are: thedruidsgarden.com, learn.religions.com, and treespiritwisdom.com.

WITCH HAZEL

Picture
In North America, there is a plant that resembles the European hazel.  This plant, witch hazel, has a long history of use by Native Americans.  It has similar bushy growth habits and size to the European hazel and many similar uses.  In the US, it is also known as winter bloom or snapping alder.

Witch hazel typically grows as an under story bush of hemlock, beach, or oak forests.  It has beautiful yellow flowers in late fall and produces seed pods that are not used for food.  This is the bush that is used to create witch hazel astringents and the flexible shoots and branches are used for tools.

Like European hazel, witch hazel has been used for protection, luck, and divination.  According to dowsers, witch hazel creates excellent dowsing rods for finding both water and lost or hidden treasures.  Witch hazel's best magic is the magic of hope.  The brilliant sunny blooms shine as the rest of nature is going to sleep.  It serves as a reminder that even during the dark times of winter, life remains.  There is always room for joy and hope.  And, sometimes, when everything seems dark, that is the time to shine.
