Fork of hazel

Jump to navigationJump to search- Fork of hazel: Here begins an allusion to The Grand Grimoire, a book of black magic published in the early 19th century (though dating itself to the 15th or 16th). Specifically, it alludes to the Grimoire's instructions for the invocation of Lucifuge Rofocale, the demon who governs hell. The first of the ingredients for the invocation is "a forked branch of a wild hazel which has never borne fruit" — known as the Blasting Rod.
