Hazel
Celtic wisdom associates hazelnuts with concentrated wisdom and poetic inspiration. There is an ancient tale that tells of nine hazel trees which grew around a sacred pool, dropping nuts into the water. The nuts were eaten by salmon which thereby absorbed the wisdom.
Adorning the hair with Wishing Caps, made of interwoven Hazel twigs is a custom followed in many countries. It was thought that if a person made a wish whilst wearing a wishing cap the wish would be fulfilled.
Ash
In Celtic myth the Ash was a sacred tree of enchantment linking past, present and future
