Measure of Annwn – Eternity of Yew
I'd like to propose that the 'measure' of Annwn, the name for the Otherworld in Welsh tradition, can be directly experienced as a transformative and visionary healing force through the radiant presence of a being —the yew tree— who uniquely holds the original power and intensity of that 'measure' as the sentient expression of an incarnated force of eternity on Earth.

Michael speaks on topics including the Elohim nature of the ancient yew tree as Overseer of the Light, the Otherworld of Annwn as the Living Wholeness of Origin, how to 'touch' the sentience of the yew tree and more! NOTE: his interview starts at 9:30 in the recording.

The Yew has survived virtually unchanged for over 250 million years as the oldest, and yet simultaneously the most youthful and even ‘embryonic’ tree species in Europe. Known as ‘the tree archetype of Europe’, the yew has the ability to change its sex, seemingly at will. The oldest known word for the yew, eya (circa 1750 BCE) means ‘eternity’ or ‘to be touched by eternity.’ It is likely that the ‘eternity’ referred to here is related to ancient practices involving the psychoactive properties of the yew. Michael has directly experienced these properties through working in specific ways with yew bark which produces a consciousness altering alkaloid toxin; what Michael in his yewshamanic work refers to as the ‘alkaloid cloud’ of the yew.
