"A Hazelnut I throw in the flame,
to this nut I give my sweetheart's name,
If blazes the nut, so may thy passion grow,
For twas my nut that did so brightly glow."
Almost all kinds of trees found in the Celtic countries have been thought to have special powers or to serve as the abode of the fairies, especially the magical trio of oak, ash, and thorn. Next in rank are the fruit-bearing trees apple and hazel, followed by the alder, elder, holly, and willow. The esteem given different trees varies in different parts of the Celtic world.
If you are born between September 24 and October 3, your Celtic tree is the Hazelnut. You are charming, undemanding, very understanding, know how to make an impression, active fighter for social cause and popular. You can also be a moody and capricious lover, honest and tolerant partner and have a precise sense of judgment.
Your Celtic birth animal is the Goose (Geadh or Giagh in Gaelic) . You are a thrifty saver and investor about your future security. You are known to have stamina, you're vigilent, know your direction and are a wonderful provider for those you love.
Geese were common sights in the lush green lands of Ireland, and their migration was duly noted by the ever observant Celts. The sign of the goose urges us to consider our changes of mood and heart. The goose is a strong symbol of hearth and home, always returning to the same spot each spring. Did you know that the goose was a common symbol in the home, displayed to encourage the safe return of Celtic warriors?
