Eihwaz
Why this step
Eihwaz is the yew, deeply rooted and long-lived, and associated with Yggdrasil itself. On this site it has no reversed form: the tree stands however it is drawn. Its meaning is endurance and a steady foundation under whatever is happening on the surface. In the middle of the trail it stands for what only time can grow: the strength of something that has lasted.
