Michael Dunning - ARC Convention - Pt 1

Michael's talk at the 2nd ARC Convention on the 28th-29th August 2010, entitled: Yew --The Embryonic Tree of Life.

The Yew Tree is one of the oldest sentient beings on earth. For thousands of years it represented the original spiritual and functional centre of western pre- Celtic healing practices, initiatory rites and community identity. It is now widely accepted that the World Tree in Norse mythology, Yggdrasil was a yew. Take a close look at any detailed map of Europe from Scotland to Scandinavia or from Ireland to Spain, and you are likely to discover the myriad of place-names derived from the ancient tree. The yew represented far more than simply a convenient name for a location - the yew literally was that location. As the evergreen symbol of immortality and perpetual rejuvenation the yew embodied the transcendent function and cosmic laws of the stellar dimensions within the body of the earth in relationship to the sensuality, spiritual development and health of human beings.
