I'm an Eihwaz


As I'm a 'pre-lab rat on a mission', I hereby personify myself as Ratatask, the squirrel!
"Despite its rather heavy, serious nature Eihwaz have a lighter, more zingy side. This is best personified by the squirrel, Ratatosk, who is said to carry banter between the Eagle at the top of the World Tree and the Serpent down at the bottom."
Now then, this is a bit more than interesting as the last time I checked, this Rune Stone symbol that I saw the most amazing aurora spring out from was called 'Purpose', and is the only reason I didn't stay in Iceland as I knew there were things that needed doing back home that only I could do!
Now this symbol is referred to as the 'yew' (Eihwaz) which is sometimes likened to the Death card in tarot; it is a rune of transformation and testing, stripping away that which is worn out, diseased or weak so that strong new growth may occur. It is the rune of the Yew tree, a symbol of age, endurance, death, and eternal life. The Yew tree is an evergreen, in the depths of winter it lives on, reminding us of the tenacity of life and the will to survive -
Which is totally spot on about what I've been up to for the past 2 years in court!
Shall we just say everyone knows how vile each other is around here now and many people have been 'moved on' (sorry Matlock, Ensana, Whaley and Chapel)
But places like Leicester, Bradford, Plymouth, Torquay, Ipswich, Coventry, Glossop, Sheffield, Lytham, Cromford, Germany, France, Israel, Leek and even Stoke have a lot to answer to for sending such vile creatures to this area in the guise of sheep in wolves clothing to pray on the weakest!!


As the World Tree Eihwaz is the Axis Mundi, the central column which joins and unites the worlds, the pillar of creation and the manifestation of the present moment.  Despite its rather heavy, serious nature Eihwaz have a lighter, more zingy side.  This is best personified by the squirrel, Ratatosk, who is said to carry banter between the Eagle at the top of the World Tree and the Serpent down at the bottom.  Now Ratatosk has a lot to teach us when it comes to the body/mind connection.  Consciousness is the vehicle of our greatest wisdom, and our greatest foolishness, after all. 

Literal meanings: Yew Tree

Rich meanings:Transformation (especially inner change), death, endurance, eternal life, protection, hunting
