The ancient Celts assigned a tree for each month of the year. The calendar follows the lunar cycles and has 13 months. Much like the well-known Zodiac signs, your birth date could tell you things about your personality because each wood also has certain personality traits.
The original wand woods by birth date are listed below, but since Houchin’s House of Wizarding Wares is in the United States, rather than Europe, we do not have access to all of these woods. In our graphic at the end, you will find we have used American alternatives. Through extensive research, we have found these woods to be quite similar in personality.
Although you need not follow this as a strict guide, the Celtic calendar can be a great starting place if you are unsure. Choose wand woods by birth date using the chart below.
