Eihwaz symbolizes resilience, transformation, and protection. It represents the strength to endure challenges and the journey between life and death. Linked to the yew tree, it embodies endurance and connection to the divine. In Asatru, it reminds practitioners of life’s cyclical nature and the importance of spiritual growth. It encourages standing firm in beliefs and embracing transformation, seeing death as a passage, not an end.
