Happy Tyr’s day you beautiful people.
TODAY I PULLED EIHWAZ
(eeh-wahz)
yew
death, regeneration, rebirth, changes, magic
another source says- toughness, stability, with a deadly sting.
Eihwaz is often compared to the death card in the tarot, although the runes as we know them to precede the Tarot by at least a thousand years. Interestingly they both carry the number 133. Both represent regeneration and new beginnings as much as they do endings.
As a symbol of the yew and of regeneration it is also associated with magical work and that of a protective nature and/or dealing with transformation
Yew trees can protect a property from fire. Yew bows were the weapon protecting the English soldiers in battle. This rune can be useful when there is a need to stand one’s ground.
There is also a long association between yews and graveyards, and the rune is given a connection with death by most writers.
As we are tested we find the power to avert blockage and defeat. At the same time, we develop in ourselves an act that creates stress in our lives.
Patience is the counsel that Eihwaz offers; nothing hectic, no acting needy or lusting after an outcome desired.
Perseverance and foresight are called for here. The ability to foresee consequences before you act!
magical uses” Protection, overcoming obstacles, spiritual development, strengthen personal and magical power. Good banishing energy, divination and past-life recall
