I IOHO �?YEW
Rebirth and everlasting
The Yew is a long lived tree. This capacity for longevity comes from its peculiar form of growth. Its branches grow down into the ground to form new stems, which become new trunks of a separate but linked growth. As the tree ages the central trunk becomes old and decayed, but the new tree grows within the spongy mass of the old and, eventually, can not be told from the original. So the Yew represents great age rebirth and reincarnation. The Yew is the fountainhead of youth in age and age in youth, the new year born of the old, the new soul sprung from ancient roots.
In the Breton legend, the tree is said to grow a root into the open mouth of each corpse buried in the graveyard. This root is the symbol of rebirth, with the spirit reborn in much the same way as the tree itself is reborn.
Choosing the Yew card places you in direct contact with your past. Your spiritual strength is renewed, your life is given fresh vigor and you are able to understand, what was is and always will be.
In all truth this card cannot be reversed because rebirth is a continuing process.
