Trees
This site discusses magickal correspondences for trees, but doesn't link them to Celtic Runes or specific calendar dates. That information is available on the Celtic Rune page. But I am including information on the 9 Sacred Woods for a fire (someone else gave me the listing, I just did the words).
I've also added a link to a site for the tale "Battle of the Trees." If you haven't read it before, take some time to read and enjoy it. I do.
Nine Sacred Woods Welcome to the balefire, welcome in the night. Chase away the darkness, and come into the light. Now into the fire, we add these nine woods, For celebration of the sabbat, for our prosperity and good. Birch for the Goddess, the feminine divine. Oak for the God in our hearts, spirits, and mind. Rowan for life, for all creation's song, Willow for death, and for those who have gone. Hawthorn for purity, fertility and sex. Hazel for wisdom, intelligence and depth. Apple for beauty, love and generosity. Holly for courage, justice and prophecy. And last into the fire, Fir for our friendship As we gather together and rediscover a kinship. So we'll be merrily met and later merrily part, And memory of the fire, we'll carry in our heart. Let the celebration begin, and we'll dance and be free Until morning's dawning, and so - Blessed Be. Battle of the Trees
