Hazel is considered a magical plant that symbolizes wisdom, good fortune and protection against all evil. Magic wands are made of hazel and so are dowsing rods that can enable the diviner to find lost or hidden objects or trace the flow of energy and water. In folk-symbolism the suggestive shape of the hazelnut has given rise to many erotic connotations and an aphrodisiacal reputation that is still alive and kicking.
