Yew Wood Hei Toki Adze Pendant: Crafted from genuine yew wood, this pendant embraces the traditional Hei Toki adze shape inspired by Māori design. The simplicity of the yew wood allows its natural beauty to shine through, showcasing rich hues and unique grain patterns.

Spiritual Resonance of Yew Wood: Yew wood carries deep spiritual significance, often associated with transformation and regeneration. It's a symbol of endurance and strength, mirroring the yew tree's remarkable ability to withstand the test of time. Wearing this pendant is an embrace of these resilient qualities, offering a connection to the profound energies within the wood.

In Wicca, Pagan, and various spiritual traditions, the yew tree holds profound significance as a symbol of transformation, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of life. Associated with the sacred concepts of death and resurrection, the yew is revered for its evergreen nature and longevity, mirroring the eternal cycle of existence. The wood of the yew is believed to possess protective energies, serving as a conduit for spiritual growth and ancestral connections. In magical practices, yew is often utilized for rituals involving transition, guiding individuals through inner transformations and aiding in their spiritual journey. It is a revered wood, not just for its physical durability but also for its mystical properties that align with the deep mysteries of life and death. Wearing a yew pendant is, therefore, a symbolic embrace of these spiritual teachings and a connection to the profound wisdom embedded in nature.

Local Beauty, Local Care: As advocates of sustainability and community, we take pride in our commitment to local artisans. To complement the linseed oil finish, we adorn our pendants with a coating of Brays Bees cream polish, thoughtfully created by nearby beekeepers. This local touch not only enriches the wood's natural allure but also supports local businesses, creating a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and care.

It's important to note that yew wood contains toxic compounds, particularly in its leaves, seeds, and bark, including taxine alkaloids. While the wood itself is generally considered safe for crafting, it's crucial to handle it with care and avoid contact with the mouth or ingestion. Therefore, yew wood pendants should not be put into the mouth, ingested, or given to minors under 18 years old. As the seller, I cannot accept responsibility for any misuse or mishandling of yew wood pendants. It's always advisable to keep such items out of reach of children and to exercise caution when storing them them in your home. They are not advised for any one with neurodivergence that like to chew on things.

Suspended from an adjustable waxed nylon cord, this pendant allows you to customize its length to your preference. The dark cord complements the warm, earthy tones of the Rimu wood, creating a harmonious union of natural elements.
