The Yew Tree Fairy is the “oldest” of all the tree spirits because the Yew is considered virtually “deathless”; this fairy is also considered as having wisdom second to none. She has a connection with the eternal and carries ancestral knowledge whilst also having the ability to open the doorway to future generations.

The Yew Fairy can bring you closer to your loved ones who have passed into spirit.
