Yew berries. Every part of the yew tree is toxic, apart from the Berry flesh around the seed. The Druids and the Celts viewed this tree as a symbol of life, death and resurrection.

We follow these cycles in life. Waking up, bringing consciousness to life. Going to sleep aka unconscious, the death of consciousness. Then waking up, resurrecting our consciousness the following day... ✨❤️

The berries are sweet but slimey 😂 don't try them unless experienced
