Portal or Trap? Yew decide.

The last photo on this blog was of a small yew tree giving off clouds of pollen in an early spring ritual of it's own. The photo above is of a 2000 year old Yew in Much Marcle, Herefordshire. It has been there since the birth of Christ. Yews are said to be directly connected to the underworld, and to sleep under one means to never properly awake.

I would like this post to be developed by You (Yew, or in the case of our Welsh pagans, Ewe). so please feel free to submit everything that you do not know about these creatures, and I promise to weave it into this post, in imitation of the way it's roots will wrap around your heart as you sleep.

All comments will be digested then deleted. They will then immediately appear in the body of this text.
