Yew Berry Tincture - Taxus Baccata

The Yew tree is a tree of immortality, a tree of light, a heart opener, that can assist us through times of transformation as parts of us die and are reborn.

Yew brings light into our dark parts. 

 If you are going through a spiritual awakening, healing, dark night of the soul experiences, this medicine helps to ground us and root us into acceptance of our shadow, our light and the ever changing nature of life.

Yew is also a great heart medicine, opening the heart and the arteries and veins. Yew has been used to treat cancer, and health of fertility.

Yew is a guardian and protector. The bridge between worlds and master of time, death and rebirth.
The Yew tree lives longer than 1000 years and grows itself anew from the inside every 1000 years, a complete transformation, so it is unknowable the age of a Yew once it’s gone through this process.
A Yew branch can fall and lie dormant for years only to re root long after once the right time comes. We see Yews commonly in graveyards and outside churches, Yew is a bridge to the spirit world.
All parts of the Yew are poisonous apart from the red of the berry. So the medicine is made carefully and lovingly from the red berry

Before the Romans and Norman missionaries bought the church here. On every hillside or significant part in the land, there would be a stone circle or tree grove. The Yew is known that through its natural growth pattern it forms a grove as its branches touch the ground and re root. These groves are sacred places of worship, to connect and pay respect to the spirits and ancestors of the land. A Yew grove is undoubtedly a place for connecting with the other realms, speaking with the dis-incarnate, hence why now many churches and graveyards were built in such holy places.
