The Mythology of Eihwaz
Yggdrasil is the cosmic tree to which the nine worlds exist. Yggdrasil is an Ash tree of gigantic proportions and it is considered very holy. The branches of Yggdrasil extend far into the heavens.
The Meaning of Eihwaz
Eihwaz means Yew as in the mighty Yew tree. This tree can become many thousands of years old, however, it is not easy to date this tree as it is hollow on the inside. This hollowness adds to the mystery of the rune as it is through the decaying inside of the tree which allows this tree to renew itself. Through the decaying inside, the tree can continue to grow new branches and root systems. This is why the Eihwaz rune is so mystical. Don’t be so quick to fill out the emptiness inside. Find yourself inside your emptiness. The emptiness you want to avoid is in fact the most sacred part of your being. This is the message of Eihwaz. It ultimately leads to liberation and enlightenment.
