Yew Wood

Yew Magical  Uses

Care should be taken when working with Yew as it contains a very strong poison! 

The trees were planted in graveyards to protect the the spirits of the dead.

The Yew is at its most powerful in midwinter representing the passage of the sun through the darkest time of the year. 

By mixing Yew with incense and meditating  you can reveal the past and gain its wisdom together with renewed spiritual strength.

Some people feel that Yew should never be used for magical purposes not only because of its poisonous effect but also because most bows, arrows and fighting staffs were made from this wood and therefore using it in magic does not feel right
