Answer 2

I'm going to give you a sample of some of my records. The space to answer with many trees would probably get me an automatic delete. The file is over a decade and I don't know of a web site with this info.

The Oak is the tree of endurance and
triumph, and like the Ash, is said to count the lightings' flash. The Oak is a male wood which is ideal for the construction of any tool that needs the male influence such as Athames, certain wands and staffs. The midsummer fire is always Oak and the need fire is always kindled in an Oak log.
OCCULT ASPECTS: Endurance, triumph, strength, power, dominion, prosperity, sacrifice, guardian, liberator.
BIRCH ) With the exception of the mysterious elder, the Birch is the earliest of the forest trees. The Birch is used extensively in cleansing rituals. Throughout Europe, Birch twigs are used to expel evil spirits. Birch rods are also used in rustic rituals to drive out the spirits of the old year.OCCULT ASPECTS: Controlled by the Lunar influences. Birth, healing, Lunar workings, and protection.
HAZEL ) The Hazel is a tree of wisdom. In England, all the knowledge of the arts and sciences were bound to the eating of Hazel nuts. Until the seventeenth century, a forked Hazelstick was used to divine the guilt of persons in cases of murder and theft. We have retained the practice of divining for water and buried treasure.OCCULT ASPECTS:
Wisdom, intelligence, inspiration, wrath.
