For magical purposes, nut harvesting begins September 3 and ends on the Autumn Equinox. The day after the equinox is known as the "Devil's Nutting Day." It is thought to be bad luck to use nuts harvested after the equinox for spell work. The hazel tree is one of the nine sacred trees. A symbol of wisdom, this tree is sacred to Hermes. Working with hazel nuts or the wood from the trees can bring you knowledge, luck, fertility, clairvoyance, or protection. Make a string of nine hazel nuts and hang them over a door for good luck. Or, tie a bunch of hazel twigs together for protection. Wearing a crown made of hazel twigs will deepen your divination practice. Before you begin, say:

Hermes' pride,
Hazel's grace,
Lend your wisdom
To this place.
Pool or stick,
Rune or card,
What is likely,
Plain or hard.
