Redwood/Sequoia Tree
*Nature-Speak/Ted Andrews
Keynote: Ancient protection and balance; pursue new visions.
The sequoia family of trees is home to some of the largest and
oldest spirits upon the planet. This is reflected in throughout
the family of redwoods. They are conifers of great size and
age. The General Grant tree is more than 270 feet high and the
Boole tree is 25 feet in diameter at a point about 15 feet up
from the ground. They live in higher altitudes and the sequoias
only grow in groves. These groves serve as a council of spirit,
and there is a gentle but powerful sacredness to the groves.
One cannot enter them without a stirring of our own sense of
the sacred. They have tremendous resistance to decay and even
to fire. The sap of the sequoia contains tannic acid, which
has a great healing capacity for the trees, as the tannin does
for humans. This enables them to live longer, but because they
are so long lived, they do not produce as many cones as other
conifers. There is not that need to reproduce so extravagantly.
Redwoods are practically immune
to termites and other pests. Their energy immediately helps
put our own life pests into perspective. They strengthen and
heal the aura so that we are less affected by the buzzing of
the daily pests we encounter. They remind us to look at the
bigger picture. Redwoods live an extremely long time - 1500
or more years. They are ancient and they are direct descendants
from the time of evolution known as Lemuria. Alignment with
their essence can open one to understanding the evolutionary
cycle of humanity. The redwood spirit helps the individual to
put his or her life into an entirely new perspective. Its essence
awakens a clear insight into our own personal vision of life
and what must be done to follow through upon it.
Being around the redwoods stimulates
great spiritual vision-- especially of the etheric realms. And
even after short visits, the psychic amplification continues
on, for even months afterwards. It activates the brow and crown
chakras, although if not properly balanced, it will manifest
as unbalanced imagination and even superstition. It awakens
within the aura a vitality that is simultaneously soothing and
stimulating. It awakens extended growth periods that will touch
strongly upon soul levels. The redwoods are ancient spirits
who try to help us gain perspective about our life. Do we need
to step back and take a new look at what we are doing? Is it
time for us to pursue our true visions? Redwoods remind us that
there is always enough time. Great changes and great growth
occurs just a little at a time.
*On Dreams/Mary Summer Rain
Redwood forest stands for inner strength; fortitude.
Rowan Tree
*Nature-Speak/Ted Andrews
Keynote: Develop control; time for discrimination
and discernment. Rowan trees have smooth bark and twigs that
have ring-like scars on them. The leaves are alternate and they
produce beautiful berries. The rowan comes to full flower in
the early summer, but in the fall, the leaves turn a brilliant
yellow and the apple-like berries are a rich vibrant red. It
is in the fall that the energy is the strongest. For those to
whom the rowan comes as a messenger or totem, the fall season
will be one of importance, and its significance should be thoroughly
explored. Rowan berries are rich in vitamin A and C and were
probably a common staple of people past. They've been used in
jams and in herbal concoctions as a laxative. The Welsh once
used them in the process of making ale, and the Native Americans
made their own drinks from the dried berries as well. Its berries
always draw cedar wax wings and other birds that enjoy berries.
As an ornamentals plant for the yard, it is wonderful to have
you are an avid birdwatcher because it will bring them in.
The rowan spirit will help you control
of the senses- physical and otherwise. Its energy is strong
and protective. It is often a reminder that we must maintain
control of our emotions and situations for our own well-being
and protection. It can be called on as powerful force against
intrusion by outside energies (including spells and enchantment).
Carrying a piece of the rowan upon you throughout the day is
strengthening to the aura, and it prevents intrusive energies
from those we encounter throughout the day. Because the aura
is partly an electromagnetic field, contact with others throughout
the day results in an accumulation of energy "debris."
rowan reminds us that we are likely being affected by these
extraneous energies. It thus helps us as a protective and cleansing
spirit.
The rowan has had a number of mystical
and magical uses. The berries have a small pentagram at the
point where they connect to the stalk. Its essence can also
help open one ot understand the significance and practical application
of the Norse Runes. Its branches are powerfully effective as
dowsing rods. They are sensitive to the element of water. Staffs
made from the rowan protect a person while traveling. It can
also be a connection to the Faerie Realm, as more than one legend
speaks of it as a gift of the Faerie folk. The rowan alerts
us to the need for developing discrimination, especially in
balancing common sense with superstition. This is the tree of
protection and vision. Its energies invoke all goddesses and
assist the individual in learning to call up magic spirits,
guides and elementals. Its energies enhance the individual's
creativity.
*The Master Book of Herbalism/Paul
Beyerl
This lovely tree, known in the United States as the European
Mountain Ash, is both an Herbe of Protection and a Visionary
Herbe. It may be used ritually to invoke the Goddess and ask
Her for help, direction, and bounty. The leaves are commonly
used, but the berries may be gathered, dried, and when ground,
added to the incense. Rowan has been used to call up magickal
spirits, familiars, spirit guides, elementals and the like,
but it also has the ability to banish any type of energy undesired
by the practitioner. For the poet, Rowan is a sure herbe to
enhance creativity and set the creative process flowing. Rowan
has also been used to divine future loves and mates. A familiar
tree in the lore of Scotland, it is said that once there were
nearly no homes without the tree growing nearby, for it brought
protection against evil energies and bad times. A Scot saying
is: "O Rowan tree, O Rowan tree, thou'll aye be dear to
me." Taking two small twigs of Rowan, equal in length,
and bound into a cross with red twine is a sure means of keeping
negative magicians and those who work evil away from one's life.
A ritual beverage was once brewed of the berries by the Welsh,
although the recipe was lost in the passing of time. This would
be an excellent goal for the practitioner.
*Magical Herbalism/Scott Cunningham
Folk names: Mountain Ash,
Witchwood, Quickbane, Wild Ash, Witchen, Witchbane, Wicken Tree,
Wiky, Wiggy, Roynetree, Whitty, Wiggin Ran Tree, Roden-Quicken-Royan,
Sorb Apple, roden-Quicken, Delight of the eye. Basic powers:
protection, healing. Specific uses: Tie two twigs of rowan together
with red thread for a good all-purpose charm. Use the rowan
branches in divining water, as is often doen with hazel wood.
It is an excellent protection against lightning. It is sometimes
used to make magic wands. Carry the wood with you as a good
luck amulet. A necklace of the berries is very healing.
Spruce Tree
*Nature-Speak/Ted Andrews
Keynote: Understanding; attend to your dreams; trust
intuition. There are many varieties of spruce trees. They are
evergreens, which are extremely aromatic. They love human contact.
When my wife and I purchased our first home, we had a blue spruce
tree in the front yard. It blocked a good part of the house.
It was tall, broad and it looked dead. There was little coor
to its needles, and we assumed that it would need to be removed.
Within the first month, the color began returning to the tree.
Within three months, it was completely healthy and vibrant.
The house had been empty for a long time, prior to our purchase
of it and the spruce was depressed and lonely. That spruce was
one of the most protective and beautiful spirits I ever encountered.
When we moved, leaving it behind was the most difficult part
of all. Before we sold the house though, we ensured the new
owners would not cut it down. Spruce comes from a Russian word
meaning "fine, smart." As a link to the archetypal
energies of Nature, the spruce is powerfully effective in awakening
realizations as to how best to detoxify one's system and to
balance one's energies on all levels. Spruce reminds us that
we may not understand what we think we do. This can apply to
any aspect of our life, but often it applies to health. The
spruce spirit is wonderful at awakening understanding of disease/illness
causes. Spruce always stimulates dreams and its appearance is
a reminder to attend to them, for they are providing guidance
and greater focus. It can even assist us in developing lucid
dreams that lead to conscious out-of-body experiences. Spruce
is a gentle messenger and friend. It amplifies healing on all
levels, and it is calming to the emotions. It is a gentle awakener
of the dynamic feminine intuition. It is an excellent tree staff
to work with for any disorientation or lack of direction.
Sycamore Tree *Nature-Speak/Ted
Andrews
Keynote: Nourishment and beauty abound; new life and
new gifts. The sycamore has thin, grayish white bark and large
leaves. It is found in low lying areas, near streams or where
water flows or gathers. It likes to soak its feet in the water,
and for those to whom the sycamore comes as a messenger, exploring
foot reflexology and foot baths can be a tremendous health benefit.
Its name actually means "fig" and it is often called
the ghost tree. It is one of the tallest of the deciduous trees
and its whitish bark stands out strong in the woods - especially
at night when the moonlight is strong. Its thin twigs and branches
look like arms outstretched, especially when they are bare of
leaves. The sycamore was the sacred tree of the Egyptians. A
sycamore staff can be used to draw the energies of Hathor into
one's life and individual energy field. The sycamore is a noble
tree and its appearance is often a sign that there is nourishment
about. Sycamore energies help prevent atrophy of higher abilities
the individual has brought into this lifetime. It is a reminder
to build on old gifts and to express them in new ways. The staff
can open communication between the conscious and subconscious
minds when used in meditation and magical
practices. It strengthens the life force of the individual and
opens the opportunities to receive "intuitive and spiritual
gifts" from the universe. The sycamore is also a sign that
gifts, which are more mundane, are on the horizon. These gifts
may come in the form of assistance, compliments, etc. It is
important to receive them graciously, for if we do not receive
the little things, the universe will not bring us the big things.
It holds the knowledge of the laws of abundance and how to utilize
them to your greatest benefit. It also has the knowledge of
hidden treasures of the Earth. The sycamore awakens the feminine
energies of intuition, beauty and nourishment around us. It
can open us to the energies of love and Nature and all their
magnificent aspects. The sycamore will augment all connections
to Nature, and its appearance in our life encourages us to draw
upon the realm of Nature for health, abundance and inspiration.
Walnut Tree *Nature-Speak/Ted
Andrews
Keynote: Power for transitions: hidden wisdom. Walnut
is one of those trees with strongly aromatic leaves, bark and
fruit. There are varieties of walnut trees, each with their
own unique characteristics. The butternut variety has a fruit
that is a true dye. It will stain the fingers and cannot be
washed off. Black walnut wood has been a staple of furniture
makers. At one time, black walnut trees were so plentiful that
they were even used for snake-rail fences. In some cases, the
wood actually changes color when viewed and lighted from different
angles. This hints at walnuts secret life and power. The autumn
equinox was a time for the ritual gathering of nuts--especially
the walnut. It was an act that was as magical as it was mundane.
It provided food throughout the winter and spring, but the gathering
of nuts was a way of using the equinox energy to awaken abundance,
prosperity and wisdom over the next year. Carrying the nut was
a way of awakening fertility. The walnut has had many uses throughout
its history. Its shell made excellent dyes. The nuts were turned
into flour and added to cakes. Tea made from its leaves was
good for stomach indigestion and other digestive imbalances.
Native Americans used the oil in a variety of its ceremonies
and celebrations. On the other hand, folklore teaches that eating
the walnuts helped to cure and prevent madness.
Walnuts activate hidden wisdom within
our own life circumstances. Its appearance lets us to pay attention.
We will begin to hear and see things that have been going on
around us but had not noticed before. Walnut helps us make transitions
of all kinds. This is reflected in its protective shell. We
are less sensitive to the changes occurring. Its energies are
often catalytic in the manner in which changes will manifest.
The walnut reminds us that - if allowed to play out - all changes
will be of benefit. The walnut cleans and strengthens auric
field so we can see clearly what needs to be changed and how
to accomplish it from the clearest perspective possible. Walnut
holds the power of rebirth and when it becomes a totem or messenger,
the esoteric aspects of death and rebirth become predominant
for at least a year in our life. A staff or wand of walnut in
meditation and magical practices reveals apply these mysteries
constructively within our life. The walnut spirit awakens freedom
of spirit, telling us it is time to break free of the cocoon.
It will even herald the coming of opportunities to follow our
own unique path in life. Whether we follow through on such opportunities
is a free will decision, but walnut's appearance in our life
is often strong encouragement to do so. Walnut is a tree of
initiating and initiation. The key is to be true to one's self
when aligning with these energies. Self-deception and delusion
result in chaotic disruption instead of creative transition.
*Encyclopedia of Signs, Omens,
and Superstitions/Zolar
Tradition holds that a walnut tree will serve as a refuge for
witches during their sabbath. Sleeping under a walnut tree will
cause you to see in your dreams events of the coming year. You
should take care, however, for according to some traditions,
you may not wake up! A curious tradition says that whipping
a walnut tree will improve the quality of the fruit it bears.
The ancient Greeks and Romans said that eating stewed walnuts
would increase one's fertility. In Romania, however, brides
who did not wish to conceive were advised to place a roasted
walnut into their bodice -- one for each year they did not wish
to have children. After the wedding ceremony, they should bury
the walnuts. One legend maintains that, if a walnut is placed
under a witch's chair, she will become rooted to the spot. Walnut
branches are also believed to protect against lightning. In
American folklore, walnuts are held to cure sore throats and
to thicken one's hair. some American Indian tribes use the bark
of walnuts, especially the black walnut, as strong laxatives.
*On Dreams/Mary Summer Rain
Walnut refers to a utilitarian life element.
*Magical Herbalism/Scott Cunningham
Folk names: Tree of Evil, English Walnut, Persian Walnut,
Caucasian Walnut. Basic Powers: Fertility, Healing. Specific
Uses: Carry the nut in its shell to promote fertility, to strengthen
the heart, or to ward off rheumatism. Witches used to dance
beneath walnut trees in their rites, although this has fallen
into disuse. Because of the Witches' activities under the walnut
trees, folk people began viewing them with suspicion, hence
its old folk name, "Tree of Evil." To find out if
a person is a Witch drop a walnut on the lap of the suspected
party. If he or she is a Witch they will be unable to rise from
the chair. This was one of the methods of testing Witches during
the Persecution. Eat walnuts to cure madness.

Willow Tree
Pussy Willow
From:
http://www.mysticfamiliar.com/library/treelore/willow.html :
In Ireland the Pussy Willow is known as one of “the seven
noble trees of the land” and was honored for its multi
uses from basket weaving to
thatching spars and wattles including many others. The Willow
is a Queen of Trees and brings many Spiritual and Magical properties
to those that use it.
Willow Tree *Nature-Speak/Ted
Andrews
Keynote: Be flexible and look for connections; trust
inner visions. Willows are fast growing trees with a bitter
and astringent bark. All varieties have limber twigs and branches.
There are a number of varieties, some which fall into the tree
category and others into the shrub category. The black willow
is one of the largest in the world. The weeping willow is a
favorite among many people for its beauty and it has inspired
many a poet. The Pussy Willow is also one of the favorites in
the willow family. A powerful plant, Pussy Willow has an essence
that can help us in divination and reading signs. In fact, it
is good for almost any form of divination. It is tied to the
archetypal energies of the future. It reminds us that there
are promises yet to be fulfilled. It renews and revitalizes,
awakening the inner fires of hope and inspiration for that is
yet to come. All willows grow best in moist areas, and they
are often found along ponds, streams, marshes and wetlands.
These habitats should be studied as well for anyone to whom
the willow appears as a messenger. Willows are water loving,
and water is an archetypal symbol of the feminine energies of
birth, creativity, intuition and the moon.
Willow is a magical and healing tree.
Its name literally means "convolution," and there
is a convolution of energies associated with it. It stimulates
an energy of healing on many levels, especially though in the
areas of herbology and aromatherapy. And its meanings to us
are often multidimensional. There is rarely a single message
from willow. It is always multiple and many layered. Willow
awakens flexibility and encourages many avenues of exploration
when it appears as a messenger. It alerts us to powerful opportunities
for communication, and it has ties to all deities of other worlds
and other traditions. The willow tree is associated with the
goddess Brigid of Celtic mythology, and Willow's spirit can
help us invoke and align with those energies. It is also linked
to Orpheus who brought to Greece the teachings of music and
Nature and magic. Willows also awaken clairaudience - hearing
of spirit. In Europe are tales of travelers being frightened
at night while walking through the woods. They made claims of
willow tree spirits following behind them, muttering in their
ears. When the gift of clairaudience first begins to awaken,
the sounds are like a soft muttering.
Willow makes one of the very best
dowsing tools. This is partly due to willow's strong connection
to water. Just carrying a piece of willow in your pocket can
make you more sensitive. When you are near a water source, you
will feel that piece of willow. For some people it vibrates.
For others, it gets warm or cool, but there is always a response
from it around water. Wands made from it are powerfully effective
for wish-making and all water magic. When properly worked with
in meditation and magic, willow wands and staffs help us realize
the very intimate link between our thoughts and external events
in our life. Willow alerts us to new opportunities to learn
and explore. It encourages a flexibility of thought, and its
energies. Willow is associated with an awakening of the feminine
energies, of going into the darkness of the womb and activating
greater expression of them. Its spirit opens "night"
vision, or vision of that which has always been hidden or obscured.
It reminds us to use the rhythms of the Moon to look for dream
messages of importance. Willow always stimulates great dream
activity. And her message always involves learning to trust
our inner visions.
*The Master Book of Herbalism/Paul
Beyerl
Among the Chinese, the Willow is an Herbe of Immortality, for
even the smallest piece of a branch is capable of bringing forth
another tree. It is said the Hebrew peoples, as they wandered
through Babylon, came to the Willow and hung their harps upon
them, and wept to return to their homeland. The Druids used
the pussy willow, and thought it appropriate for charms and
protection. There are many who think a pussy willow makes an
excellent magickal wand, and others who take their tool from
the mightier tree. Anciently, it was the Willow which was site
of the birth of Hera, a most honored Goddess. It is said that
Orpheus turned to the Willow when passing through the underworld
to receive the virtue of eloquence. The Willow is today a patron
herbe of those involved in communication. Willow is sacred to
Hecate, Hermes, and all deities of the Otherworlds, and may
be used as a Funereal Herbe. For safe passage into another life,
one must plant a Willow during their lifetime so that it will
still be alive at their death. Willow is the herbe to work with
rock crystal, to charge the stone and give it protective healing
virtues.
*The Language of Dreams/Patricia
Telesco
Symbolic of flexibility and tolerance because of its supple
branches. Wishes and magic. An ancient willow want, topped in
a star, and carried by the Greek goddess Helice was a cosmic
emblem connected strongly with the moon, divination, and the
Mystery traditions. Pain's abate. Herbally, willow bark is a
substitute for aspirin. The weeping willow represents personal
mourning or sadness. Remember the lessons of the willow, however,
that also shows us how to bend without breaking. Do not let
grief break your spirit.
*Magical Herbalism/Scott Cunningham
Folk Names: Tree of Enchantment, Witches' Asprin, White Willow,
Withe, Withy, Salicyn Willow, Osier, Sough Tree, Asille. Associated
Deities: Artemis, Ceres, Hecate, Persephone, Circe, Hera, Mercury,
Belili, Belinus. Basic Powers: Healing, wishes. Specific uses:
A wand made of willow is used in healing rituals. The willow
is used as the binding on the Witch's Broom. Called "Tree
of Enchantment" in the language of the Witches, it is most
often used to bring the blessings of the Moon into one's life.
Plant a willow in the garden, preferably by a natural spring
or river. It will guard your home admirably. The binding of
the Witches' Broom is often made of soft, pliant willow branches.
Bear a sprig of this plant and you will be free from the fear
of death. Tie a knot in a willow branch to serve as a physical
representation of your Intent for a spell. When the wish has
been granted, untie the knot and then use it again for a new
spell.
*The Secret Language of Signs/Denise
Linn
Willow trees are extraordinarily graceful and fluid. Are you
able to bend and move with the circumstances of your life? Learn
to be more flexible. The willow is often a sign of grieving
or sadness because of its name, "weeping willow,"
called htus because of its long, hanging branches, which to
some people appear as though they are drooping with sadness.
*On Dreams/Mary Summer Rain
Willow pertains to tenacity.
*Encyclopedia of Signs, Omens,
and Superstitions/Zolar
Willows are held symbolic
of melancholy and forsaken love. Once popular was the custom
of wearing a willow garland when one had been jilted. Pausanias,
the Greek historian (second century A.D.), writes of a grove
sacred to Persephone, where willows and poplars grew. Orpheus,
in the underworld, is also described as holding a willow branch.
On Circe's island, there was said to be a grove of willows from
which corpses hung. Willows are often planted in cemeteries
to suggest immortality, and in China, coffins were once covered
with willow boughs. In Ireland, the so-called Pussy Willow was
held one of the seven noble trees of the land and was believed
effective against magical charms. Tradition holds it unlucky
to take the catkins or pussies indoors. Yet others hold it good
luck, if they are brought into the house on May Day. In northern
England, an unmarried girl was advised to take a willow wand
in her left hand, leave her house secretly, and run three times
around it saying: "He that's to be my good man, come and
grip the end of it." On the third time around her house,
she would perceive a likeness of her future husband, who would
come and grasp the end of the wand. In folklore, the willow
was reputed to be a cure for rheumatism, since it often grew
in wet places, and whoever carries a piece of willow bark is
held to be protected from suffering. The willow tree is also
thought to gossip. No one should reveal a secret in front of
it, or they will soon hear it repeated by the wind. In the Far
East, tradition holds that, should a girl sleep in the shade
of a willow tree, she will find herself pregnant. A Russian
belief holds that whoever plants a willow tree digs his own
grave. Last, in the Victorian language of flowers, the weeping
willow was symbolic of mourning. The water willow, however was
said to represent freedom.
Wisteria Tree
*Nature-Speak/Ted Andrews
Keynote: Time for clarity; illumination and new learning
at hand. This exotic plant is very powerful, with dynamic ties
to archetypal energies. In pagan traditions, it has been a popular
name taken by those who are students and scholars. Just aligning
with its name helps manifest greater opportunities to learn,
especially to learn that which is not normally accessible. It
awakens inspiration in the life of the individual, and in fact,
it has been known as the "poet's ecstasy". Occultists
and healers have used its fragrance to draw good vibrations.
This tree's flower activates the heart and throat chakras. It
awakens a realization of the good that is already present within
one's life; it clears the fog within the aura. It stimulates
creative expression and the "power of the word". It
is a rare spiritual influence that can be a passport to higher
consciousness. It opens the doors between the realm of humanity
and the realm of the Divine. It assists us in contacting other
planes of life and higher forms of illumination.
*On Dreams/Mary Summer Rain
Wisteria reflects spiritual beauty and grace.
*Magical Herbalism/Scott Cunningham
Wisteria- The door between the world of men and the realms of
the Gods, the passport to higher consciousness. Wisteria is
used to contact other planes of consciousness and existence,
and to bring illumination. Wear only when in complete serenity.
*The Master Book of Herbalism/Paul
Beyerl
This is an herbe of all students, scholars, and those pursuing
intellectual development. It will stimulate
the brain, aid in keeping thought organized, and will aid in
helping achieve educational goals. The oil may be used, or the
flowers made into a tea.
Yew Tree
*Encyclopedia of Signs, Omens, and Superstitions/Zolar:
Tradition holds that anyone who dares pull a branch from a yew
tree will die within the next twelve months. Yews are said symbolic
of immortality and, therefore, were often used in the construction
of churches for their ability to resist rotting. Since yews
were often planted in churchyards and were associated with the
dead, it is generally held unlucky to bring their branches indoors.
Curious is the tradition that one falling asleep under a yew
is likely to awake without a memory.
*The Language of Dreams/Patricia
Telesco:
Norse mythology portrays the yew as Yggdrasil, or the World
Tree. As such, this is a great symbol of security and firm roots.
Folkloric: Protection, specifically against magic meant to charm
or beguile. For someone who has been sick, this is a good omen.
It foretells long life. Celtic: A hunt or search. This was a
favored wood for bows because of its flexible strength. What
are you hunting? Among the Druids, yew wood was used to foretell
the future. If you accept this interpretation, look at the rest
of the images in the dream as potentially prophetic in context.
*BearInMind:
The "Taxus baccuta" known as the Yew…My Grandmother
planted four of them in front of her house and now they're huge
trees (I've always called them "bushes" though). My
Grandmother always told us as children that the purdyful berries
are poisonous, but we had lots of fun splatting them on each
others’ faces. I read that the leaves of the Yew are now
used to produce a drug that stops cancer cell mutation permanently,
called taxol. I understand that they're considered sacred trees
and wondered why they are labeled as such ~ I mean, aren't all
Standing People sacred? I also read that Yew was also employed
as a poison, used for assassination, suicide, as an arrow poison,
and cedar rose even let me know that . . . “Robin Hood
used a bow of Yew to win the Maid Marion, to whom he was betrothed
under the branches of a Yew. At his death, he was buried beneath
a Yew." I've also read that Yew were planted in graveyards
as a form of protection from malevolent spirits and that its
needles (I call them 'leaves') are used in rituals to communicate
with the dead. I often chew on the needles ('leaves') like a
snack. According to some information I read, the dried leaves
are more toxic than young fresh leaves So... I guess prolly
shouldn't continue to munch on them, eh? Well, there's a book
I just may order called "The Yew Tree."
Dragonfly Dezignz:
Yew trees are said to be in Churchyards because they are thought
to Reincarnate. A yew tree continues growing through new roots
inside the hollow of the tree, and although it may look dead,
it isn't.
