Hazel: Coll

By S.F. Skyheart - June 13, 2024

The names of the Celtic tree months come from some of the letters of the Ogham. The Ogham is an ancient alphabet believed to have originated in the 4th century (possibly as early as the 1st) in what is now the southwest region of Ireland.

The Celtic month of Hazel, June 13 - July 10, is associated with:

Ogham: Coll – (cull) represents intuition, ancient knowledge and wisdom, clarity through divination, creativity, fulfillment, and abundance.

The energy of Coll is present moment-ness, acknowledgment of intuitive insight, and the inner calling of creative flow. It is recognizing that right now is the perfect time to celebrate yourself, connect with what empowers you, and give yourself space to be creative.

Consider Coll's connection to the Hazel tree, which grows all over the Northern hemisphere, provides a mutualistic role in its ecosystem, and holds within its branches both male and female flowers. It beckons us to regularly spend time with ourselves, to foster self-love and self-appreciation, to hone our intuition and celebrate our very existence. Coll is a shining example of connection to self, and connection to mutually supportive relationships.

Please note: Some people start the tree calendar with Birch in January, which follows the solar calendar. However, I learned them in an older tradition, which aligns with the 13-month lunar calendar. It's up to you to discern what feels right for you, of course.
