Weapons decided if you would keep your land and resources. To defend
themselves, the Vikings found the use of the Yew tree and made bows.
This tree
gave them the ability to defend themselves. The characteristic crackle
of the wood
soothed them during the cold winter nights. Meditate on the actions
necessary to
defend our position in our lives and to enjoy the things we have worked
