Reed grows in clumps at the river's edge. Reed resembles an arrow by its thinness. It was at 
one time used to make arrows. It is symbolic of music, bagpipes and flutes. In the winter the 
villagers rethatched their roofs with reed for security in the cold ahead. Weavers used reed 
to separate threads and to beat the fibres before spinning. Reed indicates direct action, and 
finding direction and meanings to the purpose of your journey.
