- Liberation from the fear of death
- Development of spiritual endurance and strong will

A sharply poisonous evergreen yew - a fitting symbol of life, death and immortality. Death as a great initiation into the mystery of life. To die before one leaves this life (near death experiecnce) is to discover what is truly important in life. Invite the help of Ehwaz in meditating on past lives, and in communicating with the initiate or the dead. It is wise to stay in your lineage when doing this, as your ancestors have reason to answer your call.
