Yew Mysteries Newsletter – Solstice 2020
Winter Solstice heralds a time of great potency and illuminative presence for the yew tree. During the darkest phase of the year the yew reveals the hidden light of the Otherworld. The Winter Solstice takes on especial significance this year with the great conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, an event that has not occurred with such portent since the year 1226. For those of you who may not be aware, the yew, and therefore the Yew Mysteries, are deeply related to Saturn. In this first newsletter we will very briefly explore the meaning of the yew's relationship to Saturn and to the Winter Solstice. We will also briefly explore the importance to the Yew Mysteries of the Great Conjunction of 2020.
