The Yew is an evergreen tree with the leaves attached spirally to the twigs. As the outer 
tree decays a new tree grows within. The branches grow down to form new stems. Yew timber is 
dark and very strong. Yew berries were used to poison weapons. Wine barrels were constructed 
of Yew to symbolize the death of the Vine. Yew was also used in the manufacture of bows.
Yew indicates rebirth. 

Physical: Something held for many years must be passed on, let go. It serves you no longer. 
Mental: The knowledge that nothing lasts forever will bring ease at this time. 
Spiritual: Changes are coming to you, you have a tendency to try and hang on, let go and 
experience the change as an ally not an enemy.
