The Gardening Gaul is now crafting wooden jewelry based on European folklore!

The first available item is a yew pendant combining wood-burned Iodhadh (or Idad or Ioho) ogham ᚔ and Eihwaz rune ᛇ.
It is available there: https://gardeninggaul.net/en/product/yew-pendant-ioho-ogham-eihwaz-rune/

These two symbols are linked to the yew and spawn from the Celtic and Teutonic cultures of Northwestern Europe, in which they stand for eternal rebirth, natural cycles, life, death and renewal. They are strengthened here, combined as a single sign.

Yew can represent the World Tree and carries an idea of regeneration given its longevity. To this day it is not rare to find this kind of trees in graveyards or churchyards. The wooden stave has been hand-carved from a yew branch selected with care and respect in Northwestern France (it comes from the tree pictured in this post). You can wear it as a good luck charm or as a token to your care for European culture.

Isolated as a species for hundreds of years, the distinctive Carneddau Ponies of the Welsh mountains are an incredibly rare, genetically unique and primitive British wild horse.

Existing only in the Carneddau mountains of Snowdonia, there are only around 300 of these horses in the world.

The Carneddau Ponies range only around 20 square miles of harsh mountain terrain, where they have remained since the Bronze Age. As a result of their harsh native climate and thorough pedigree following centuries of seclusion from other wild horses, the ponies stand at only 10 hands high and are known for their incredible hardiness and ability to withstand even the most severe conditions.
