Eihwas - yew tree
Ætt: 2nd
Letter value: ei
Keywords/Magical:
Enlightenment, endurance, initiation, protection, life/death
Gods/Godesses/Deities:
Lore:
This is the principle of the vertical axis that penetrates into the world above and the world below and connects the human realm to heavenly regions. It is the synthesis of above and below, light and dark, life and death. The yew is a flexible force but also hard; it endures beyond all other things. The yew is evergreen in the winter (life in the midst of death), and it is useful to build fires, becoming the "sun within".
Positive Meaning:
The "yew" promotes spiritual enlightenment. Mental toughness and flexibility are needed. The inner flame must be ignited through discipline. Realization of inner strength will protect you from outside dangers.
Negative Meaning:
Eihwas coming too early into the life of a person can cause deep confusion. The hot fires unconsciously ignited may "burn-out".
