The Yew Tree
I love discovering unusual trees while going for walks with my family so, for this cache, I chose the Yew Tree because I like the story behind it (see story of The Yew Tree below).
You will find there a red lid container with a small log in it. You will need to bring your own pen.
For a very long time, trees have been a strong feature in folktales, history, paintings, culture and arts. Their shapes and strength can invoke a powerful sense of spirituality. For centuries, civilisations have praised trees as a symbol of worship, celebration, and death. The Yew Tree is associated with immortality, rebirth and access to the other world and our ancestors. The Yew is considered to bring protection against evil and is a symbol of old magic. Magically, the yew is used for summoning spirits and any other world communication.
Trees have always provided food, shelter, wood, shade, and many other basic life needs for human beings. It is no wonder, then, that they are worshiped or praised in every civilisation. In many cultures, it is believed that hugging a tree releases negative energy from the human body. So don't forget to hug this one before you leave!
