I follow you. I subscribe to the idea of plant medicine with their accompanying plant spirits. Yew has a storied history in folklore and numerous mentions by Shakespeare in his most famous plays including Macbeth and Romeo & Juliette.And I feel rather safe in the presence of yew.
I've always been intrigued by the "poison path". I was ecstatic to find some wild Datura with beautiful white moon flowers and purple accents a few years ago. I harvested all parts and potted one on my back porch. Modern practicalities prevented me from experimenting as you are now.
Maybe you're a reincarnated witchy woman lol.
Are you picking them fresh for each "experiment" or going off a single harvest? I'm totally fascinated by how old they can be. . Would love to see a pic of your yew tree.
"My shroud of white, stuck all with yew,
O, prepare it!
My part of death, no one so true
Did share it."
