The Magick of Yew
The yew tree is one of the oldest living beings on this planet and can live for thousands of years. One of the oldest yew trees is the Fortingall yew in Perthshire, thought to be over 5,000 years old.
A strong symbol for immortality and rebirth. As the tree ages the trunk becomes hollow inside and a new tree sprouts from within.
Yew is the World Tree, the Tree of Life, also called Yggdrasil in Norse mythology (Yggdrasil translates as 'needle ash' so it is often confused with the Ash tree).
Yew assists in Otherworld journeys and increases our awareness and openness to communication with the Otherworld.
Connected to the angelic realm and multidimensional beings, yew raises our awareness and receptivity to them.
A circle of yew trees is thought to be an ancient Druid sacred circle.
The fleshy part of the berries of the yew tree are edible but beware as the seeds in the berries are very poisonous and can be fatal, so I would advise against eating them.
