Michael Dunning - The Sacred Yew Tree: The Embryonic Tree of Life
August 5, 2010
Michal Dunning is with us to discuss the Sacred Yew Tree and Yew Shamanism, Norse Mythology, the Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life and the relationship to humanity. We talk about Michael's own experience and how he got drawn to shamanic-healing following a near - death encounter with an elemental spirit in the far north of Scotland. A second near-death experience occurred several years later which entirely destroyed his health. Michael began to experience regular visions, prolonged out - of - body states and intense physical pain. He was finally rescued by a friend who lived in a small cottage close to a 2000 year -old, female yew tree. This marked the beginning of a ten-year period of healing and a shamanic initiation through nature, which took place under the vast enclosure of the tree. Michael believes that the yew tree was once regarded by the indigenous shaman-healers as a great source of occult knowledge holding an ancient and embryonic language of healing and rejuvenation.
