The Magical
Hazel Tree
Many ancient cultures have held the hazel tree in high regard, associating it with wisdom, protection, and divination. In Greek mythology Hermes carried a hazelwood staff to aid him in the travels between the mortal and the spirit worlds. Celtic lore spoke of nine hazel trees whose nuts imparted all the wisdom of the world upon those who ate them. Norse traditions hazel was sacred to the God Thor as was known as the Tree of Knowledge. The wood was, and still is, highly prized for many uses like wands and dowsing rods.
​
​It is in the tradition of wisdom and protection surrounding this tree that created Hazel Solutions, not just as a company name but as a guiding ethos. A strong, deep-seeded desire to impart knowledge and protection to others. In the case of Hazel Solutions, it is to pass along years of gathered knowledge and experience to help others protect themselves, their loved ones, and their homes for the myriad of environmental toxins, seen and unseen, which surround us all.
