Have you ever wondered where the name "Hollywood" came from? Do they simply make up names of places of huge importance or significance? Or do they name it with reason?
A couple examples of naming a place with a purpose - an obvious one - Washington (D.C.). Or Houston (as in Sam Houston).
So did Hollywood just come out of nowhere? Or is there meaning to it?
Well, split up the word. Holly Wood.
Holly is a tree. Obviously there is wood on a tree.

Holly Wood was used by the Druids in fabrication of ther... Magic wands!
Ah, and what types of spells were cast from Holly Wood wands?
Spells having to do with sleep or rest!
It is also sometimes called Tensiltown:
1. glittering material: a thin strip of glittering metal foil, paper, or plastic, used for decoration
2. something showy: something worthless that appears glamorous
So yes, hollywood does keep people under the spell of sleep and rest of the mind - otherwise known as ignorance.

The Holly tree (Ilex aquifolium) as a symbol of goodwill, peace, health and happiness is one of the sacred trees of Wicca/Witchcraft, but its most common association is as a Christmas seasonal decoration.

n ritual uses, Holly is associated with the death and rebirth symbolism of winter. Holly also symbolizes holiness, consecration, material gain, physical revenge, beauty, and immortality, as well as peace, goodwill and health. It can be used ritually to aid and help with a person’s ability to cope with death, and to ease their sleep with peaceful dreams.
