The Sacred Yew Tree

Some Essence, or Vibrational Medicine-makers know, we often find that our Shamanic path through the gardens of consciousness starts with, or forms around one particularly solid relationship.

Often, but not always, these are trees. English Yew Tree is this such ally for me, around which everything else is borne.

Yew, the Overseer of the Light
— Pistis Sophia, translated by G. S. R. Mead

Magnificent and magical Yew offers us both a sturdy and dependable part of a diverse, natural, Celtic woodland and a fascinating and mystical journey guide and initiator on our spiritual path

The Troll incarnate, infused with Odinic energy, she works to illustrate the importance of the integrity of the pillar of light, Djed, or Sushumna, unique to the human energy field.

Guiding us as ally into the Underworld, he invites us to mine the gold of our deepest shadows and to return holding our purest light frequency as Worldbridgers between Heaven and Earth.

Just as we are now anchoring in the new frequencies, so are the Yews. They are Gridworkers too.

Their network extends globally through reciprocal trees in other regions, reaching around and through the crystalline grid of Mother Gaia - navigating and charging up the Akashic, Mimir’s Well, or the Ionosphere (Ether).

They supports the up- and down flow of energy - each with a different expression of this flow, completing the cyclical flow in true representation of the Ouroboros itself; from the Void to the Central Sun and back around again.

As we work with Yew spirit and her guardians, we often become aware of an intense quickening. This can include transformations, rebirth, renewal, regeneration and an awareness of immortality and the circle of life.

He is hugely supportive of our journey work, astral and dream work and the heightening of psychic abilities. Her Runic number is 13.

Note that Yew is one of the Guardians of the Underworld that assist in guiding souls from one world to the next - and are therefore “holders of souls” (hence why you find them planted at graveyards in the UK). Thus, it is important to work with energetically “clear” Yews, before working with them for our own safety - and for their optimal service to the whole.

Working with Yew is quite a particular science - and used to be only understood by and restricted to few. He is coming through more in these times for those that hear the call.

First of all, words can not tell you how much joy, hope and love you brought to me in the moment you built a bridge between us, Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m very grateful for the guidance and for your grace, you have inspired me immensely. To connect with you feels like belonging.

Yew gives me a deep sense of being held,

Aligned with hidden rhythms of the divine,

His timeless wisdom sparks deep through earthy nights and fleshy bones.

I’m grateful to have him by my side. Noble stillness - he gifts me melodies of harmony within. And I sing it out with him as loud as my heart can carry - I love walking in his presence, and I’m very curious to learn more from him. He embraces a deep truth of integrity and strength, one of ancient wisdom, like a boat that carry us through future ‘ fossefall ‘ unafraid of ourselves and our faith.

Working with Yew is especially powerful with Harriet as she has such a deep connection with the spirit of the tree. She shares her knowledge before the journey, which really opens up more gateways for insight and clarity in the experience.

Harriet holds a beautiful space that feels very sacred, free and attracts so much multidimensional light.
