Magical properties: 

Though not European Yew, the Pacific Yew is nearly 
identical to the species of tree that was used to create the 
infamous English Longbow. This species of Yew was 
instead used by the native people of North America to 
make spears and bows of great power and sacred history. 
 
The main property of the Pacific Yew is focus. It grants 
the ability to block out the things that do not matter and 
concentrate on the matters at hand. It is an amazing aid in 
the pursuit of knowledge and goals. It brings a balance of 
the physical and spiritual worlds, the ability to 
concentrate on either with equal clarity. 
 
Not a recommended wood for divination or luck, but 
highly recommended for use with the pursuit of goals, 
including love.
