The Hazel Moon is the moon that rules the Celtic Month of the Hazel Tree, which begins August 5th, and ends September 1st.
The energy of the Hazel Moon is good for contacting spirits and for enhancing shapeshifting or astral projection rituals. It has a solid energy, especially useful for the protection of travelers. Hazel wood also makes an excellent sheild for defelcting negative intent whem ade with this goal in mind.
To craft a simplified hazel sheild to protect yourself, your home, office, car, barr, etc.. you will need at least nine hazel nuts, some thin cord in gold or white, and a hammer and nail.
Empower the nuts as emblems of protection. Hammer a hole through them large enough for the cord, then string them together, making a binding knot between each. Hang these in your home and say:
Hazel, raise the shield so high,
so tall and wide, that none slips by;
protect, deflect and quell all bane
make all around me safe again.
