YEW.

YEW.

This yew tree is the oldest living thing in Wales it's between 4/5000 yrs old the mind boggles at what it's witnessed.it's situated in st digains llangernyw 5 miles from bodran, again it was to big for me to do it justice.
Th yew grow's in a unique way the branches growing down to form new stems which become the trunks of new trees. also a new trunk can grow from the decaying mass of the old trunk. this is the power of rebirth and transformation.
The yew as always been revered for providing a direct link to the ancestors and the spirit realms..

Heather!

I know it's not a tree, and not a very good photo. But heather is another plant associated with Bee's , honey and wisdom.. The heather provides an enthusiastic passionate energy, with never a gap between thought , speech,and action This reflects a loyalty to ones true self and is the key to heathers energy. It will help you find a generosity of spirit which will help them be aware of other peoples problems and needs.
A walk on a heather clad mooor will lift the spirits and bring a calming soothing effect.
The heather inspires us to go about our lives with this same lightness of spirit , which we can then pass on to others.
Heather as always been considered lucky, and heres something you didnt know about me, A few years ago maybe 20yrs, I used to gather heather into bundles and sell it at markets for 20p each, gosh times where hard...

Beech.

This is our boundary Beech, it's about 3 hugs around at the bottom, it reminds me of a creature from greek mytholodgy..I use the beech mast in christmas pot pourri.
If the beech show's a large bud at christmas [it did] there will probably be a moist summer to follow. [there is]
The beech has a gentle but very strong spirit offering protection and love, a tree to sit under and commune with when your heart is sore........
